I also knew though that I needed to add more protein to my diet but how could I do that without eating beef, pork, chicken, or turkey...as I only eat fish.
So let's go back in time to when I decided I wanted to do a NPC bikini show...
June of 2014 I tried many many many different kinds of protein powders to mix in with my daily smoothie....whey and vegan. All they did was blow my stomach up to where I looked 6 months pregnant. It would then take a week to get my stomach readjusted. It was awful!
I did the same with protein bars...tried vegan and whey versions and all they did was wreck my stomach.
I also tried adding more food to my diet...more calories...but again it just messed me up.
So after about 6 weeks of trial and error I just thought well I'm gonna do the best I can with my current diet and see where it takes me.
I then just threw caution to the wind and decided to do it my own way.
No beef.
No pork.
No chicken.
No turkey.
No protein powders.
No protein bars.
No extra food.
Nothing.
Nada.
I did it my own way.
My own food.
My own diet.
So many of these competition diets/preps don't allow most of the foods that I ate and currently eat.
For example fruit...I ate it every single day thruout my entire prep time...even Peak Week!
Here's an example of what I ate during my prep and what I currently eat.
Breakfast
Mid morn snack
Banana
Lunch
Slice of horizon cheese
Cup of organic berries
Fage yogurt
Mid afternoon snack
Dinner
Two whole organic eggs
Horizon cheese
Two cups of kale, spinach, arugula
