californiagrownDo you honestly not know the difference between healthy food and not healthy food?
It ain't rocket science. Eat more of the good, less of the bad.
anti_bunkI definitely do, but I've learned that it's one thing to say and think and imagine doing something but actually doing it.and making a real life style change to break habits is a real battle sometimes, for some people it takes a heart attack or something big to get their attention for them to address their health. I don't wanna be one of those.
Also thank you to those that replied
JAHpowMy standard meal in college consisted of chicken, streamed vegetables, and rice. Tasty, filling, and healthy.
DirtYStylEThis is gold. Switch out the meat for a different protein or rice for a different carbs.
Lunch can be a balanced sandwich/burrito/wrap etc...
It's hard to say that eggs and bacon is unhealthy... but its a heavy food and it makes for a slow start to the day. So the "healthiest" breakfast would either be a smoothie and a bagel (highly recommend) or the old fashioned "porridge" (steel-cut oats in particular) with some fruit.

250ri'm not going to get into this right now because i could type for hours about this stuff. ill just leave you with one thing to think about.
there are essential fats, and essential proteins. however there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. People might try and tell you that your brain runs on glucose and that is only partly true. your body will produce 150g of glucose per day on a low carb diet. glucose is also not the only fuel your brain can use. your brain functions more efficiently while running on ketones. now i'm not saying you should be trying to enter ketosis, but its not a bad thing either. there is no reason for anyone(including athletes) to be eating more than 200gs of carbs a day.
eat lots of fat, lots of vegetables, a decent bit of protein, no grains, and no refined vegetable oil.
californiagrownProbly want to give some abbreviated sample programs on there... maybe get some pics of very fit friends etc on there.
Right now all you see is you're sexy self with zero evidence of knowledge or substance.
The online trainer market is oversaturated, but you could def find a niche in action sports... just put some more effort in :)
Eh, carbs aren't bad, neither is dairy or grains. People just eat like complete shit and overeat. If people only ate food they thought was healthy, in amounts they thought was conducive to their goals, they'd be fine.
Ya don't need strict rules, or dialed in diet plans. Ya just need common sense and some fucking self control. It aint rocket science.

250ri agree, i still eat rice with my sushi, fuck ill even have a poutine fried in nasty canola sometimes. but there is not reason to be making carbs the foundation of your diet. grains do have some harmful parts like phytic acids and leptins which can cause damage to the lining of your gut. the real problem with them though is that they are essentially devoid of nutrition. all those calories you got from bread, could have been much better spent on healthier foods. people will say that you need the vitamins and minerals from grains, but you can easily fill your daily requirements by eating vegetables and organ meats.
in terms of dairy, i'm not a huge fan of cow dairy as it is not the most digestible type of dairy out there. most people struggle to digest casein protein from a1 cows(almost all the cows in north america). that being said i eat a ton of cow butter everyday. if i want milk, or whey protein, it will be coming from goats or sheep, not cows.
i'm a chef, i love eating tasty food. i have never once felt limited by the way i eat.
californiagrownHaha and seared meat is carcinogenic.
The risk from these foods is so damn minimal, yet people love to focus on them and end up majoring in the minors with their diet and fitness.
Carbs have a big seat at the table for active people. Peak athletic performance requires carbs as fuel. Thing is, most people think they're more active than they really are.
Idk, when boobs ask for diet advice I don't think they should be given all the ways to optimize their diet. They just need direction on how to have decent, cheap, easy diet... and eventually optimize from there.
250ri hear you, i have no hopes that OP will end up eating like how i do. but "peak athletic performance" does not require carbs. fat provides much long lasting energy. you can eat a nice fatty breakfast and go for a 4 hour bike ride without having to munch on gu and stinger bars the whole way. there are many books written on this, and many top level endurance athletes embracing this way of eating.
there was a really good video that i cant seem to find, of a couple rowing across the atlantic on a high fat low carb diet. anyways not that you are going to read this, but this book is incredibly informative on the subject.

spacecaptain4i'd recommend a diet almost exclusively made up of nos energy and mcdonalds. This creates optimal levels of energy and power.

GORILLAWALLACEnot trying to be a dick, but do people actually pay for that stuff?
I feel like you're offering very accessible information
example: this thread
californiagrownWhy no Skoal?
californiagrownThere is a difference between serviceable and optimal. A low carb high fat breakfast is serviceable for a big day, a high carb high fat breakfast along with gu and Amino's throughout is optimal.
When I rely on fat as an energy source I have a heavy stomach, inconsistent energy and generally feel sluggish. When I rely on a high carb low fat energy source I have bad blood sugar issues.
When I rely on high fat high carb, the fat helps to blunt the insulin response to the carbs creating much more consistent energy without feeling heavy or sluggish.
But at the end of the day, folks putting in big days aren't the ones looking for diet advice to shape up haha.
250ralright well you can think what you want, thats fine. i will say that the reason it doesn't work for you is because you haven't taken the time to get fat adapted. if you normally eat a high carb diet, and then suddenly switch to high fat, you aren't going to get good results.
