Back to eating clean

by: DannyStevens - August 5th, 2008

Hey guys!

I've finally got back onto my normal eating schedule and I have to say, it feels good. Loading your body with junk for a week seems great at first, but it gets old. However, I did do damage and hit up many of my favorite restaurants that I was craving. If you're from Chicago, there's nothing like killing a large pizza from Gino's East :)

Here's a breakdown of one of my "typical" days. I say typical as I don't eat the same things daily but I usually stay around the same macros. Like I've mentioned before, I'm really not a believer in strict calorie counting but I do it here and there to get an idea where I'm at. I honestly could probably get away with eating more with my metabolism as sad as that is. I'm still going out to eat here and there so I'm getting a few cheats in too. As long as my BF% stays in that 12-15% range, I'm satisfied. I'm not really too concerned right now with eating crazy clean as my priority is to kill it in the gym and put on size. I know where I want to be and I know what needs to be done, bottom line.
