Diet Principles

Protein Heavy with Greens/Grains.

• meat
• eggs
• greens

As far as food goes, I have been trying to keep it pretty simple lately. My diet looks pretty similar on a day-to-day basis. I have tried many different diets in an attempt to find what works best for me. Diets are a tough one because everybody has different activity levels, body fat, metabolisms and goals. I got really into the high-fat low-carb diet last season, and was loving the way I felt, but the way my lifestyle is I am always going and I like to push hard whether I’m surfing, paddling, biking or hanging out with friends. This means I am burning a lot of calories and I ended up bonking out in a few events because of lack of fuel and I ended up losing a lot of weight (which I didn’t want to do). So now I just try to keep a balanced diet and try to make sure I am getting plenty of protein, carbs and fats. I try to get my vitamins through fruits and vegetables as I do not take supplements anymore.

Recipe #1 - Smoothie

Recipe #3 - Rice and Protein Dish

Dinners at my house usually look the same, but with a different protein. I rotate between, fish, chicken and steak with rice and a salad. Once again, gotta have lots of healthy fats (avocado, butter, and olive oil) with salt and pepper to taste.
