Just to give me some idea about how much I should be eating:

1) How many calories do you eat a day?
2) Is your diet balanced?
3) Do you eat a lot of crap like maccies and curries or are you a healthy eater?
4) Do you take protein supplements, etc
5) How much exercise do you do a day

1) 4'500 per day
2) no, I stuff down as much as I can of everything in about 3.5 mins
3) chips everyday, curry twice a week, maccy's every weekend, loads of cakes chocolate and other sh*t every day.
4) no
5) Quite a bit

Oh yeah, I am in recruit training!!!!
The diet goes out the window once you get to CTC, it great!!!!

how is the food down there cglees?

Im told its edible!!!

Not too bad when you consider they have to churn out 2500 meals 4 times a day.
Sometimes its really good, other days its just slops.

The I'M A SCAMMER SPAMMER!!! staff are miserable f**kers though!! No cheerfulness in adversity for those cookies!!!

Cheers all!

Even though I started this post, i havn't been paying much attention to my diet anyway. Ive been getting up at 6,eating a bowl of cornflakes and drinking water and coffee, then going for a run at about 8. For the rest of the day, I dont give a f@#k what I eat, as long as it tastes nice.

I know that youre supposed to eat about 5g carbohydrate (infact ive forgotten) per kg or bodyweight and 1.5g protein per kg of bodyweight. But at the end of the day, you cant tell whats inside a big mac or a t-bone steak.

So my plans for a healthy diet have gone to ratshit, and I dont give a f@#k.
Although 4 sausage, 4 bacon and brown sauce on toast is a daily requirement.

Jon im dissapointed in you i thought i taught you well

it is 1.5g of protein per POUND of bodyweight

Being on the student Diet helps. I'm on about the one where you have no money to buy food lol. Many people Commented on when i went back home over christmas that i looked fitter and had lost a fair amount. What i eat;


Breaky = Cornflakes + semiskimmed Milk + sugar
or Sometimes toast
Fruit


Dinner
Gregs...a sarnie and maybe a sausage roll (Never touched the custard doughnuts although they were saying "Eat me, eat me, eat me")

Tea
Super Noodles (One single pack is good enough for tea)
or Chilleconcarnie - microwavable ones from safeway
or Pasta

But over crimbo i ate some right **** so now i've got to start all over again.

Anyone got any decent easy to make cheap recipies for good food?

This is the sort of stuff you want for a slow release of energy throughout the day....

LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX CARBOHYDRATES

Brown rice
Wholemeal bread
Basmati rice
Sweet potato
White spaghetti (al dente)
Fresh peas
Kidney beans
Natural fruit juice (no sugar)
Whole rye bread
Dried apricots/figs
Fresh fruit
French beans
Fructose
Green vegetables
Soya
Courgettes

Just prior to exercise and straight afterwards something with a high GI like a banana or a bottle of Lucozade gives you a quick energy boost though.


Rugby Lad

2 hrs before - 1g/kg/bodyweight carbos of low GI
30 mins before - " of medium/high GI foods
Immediately after " of medium/high GI foods
Every 2 hrs after for 6 hrs - " of low/medium GI foods

Thats in theory anyway (AND IT IS PER KG, NOT PER POUND!)
