My diet at 46/47
My diet has changed so much over the years.
My diet now is more fruits and vegetables than ever before. I eat more eggs now that I ever have in the past. I’ve dialed back read meat from every day to 2-3 times a weeks. Chicken and fish are huge with me now. I’ve learned to control the carbs I consume, low glycemic index carbs. I have been turned onto to salmon now because of the air fryer. There is zero need to eat the way I used to eat. I’ve come to terms with my body and what I really want to to look like now. I’d rather look like a CrossFit competitor than a hardcore muscle junky. My knees are about shot my elbows are definitely hurt and my right shoulder, the one I separated 30 years ago probably needs to be cut into but I’m not letting that happen till it can’t move. The need to bench/dead/squat massive numbers is a long memory. But it does feel good to have the heavy weight on my back, in my hands, hovering above my throat. |

I simply can’t eat like I use to. I can remember stacking up plates at Chinese buffet restaurants, now 2 plates & im bloated up llije a toad! When the weather warms up I tighten up my diet until winter hits & the holidays.
As far as the weights go I don’t lift as heavy. Too many aches & pains plus you can still work a muscle effectively with lighter weights. Besides all that nonsense I’m just getting old. |

My metabolism is as high as it’s every been at 48. I eat to keep it cranking rather than slow it down. If I dont eat a high carb meal 5 times a day I drop weight like a cancer patient. All six abs and obliques visible as a normal year round things.
4000 calories a day maintenance. I’m tired of it. |

The only thing keeping me from eating clean food is money. If I had a lot I would shop at whole foods every week.

I try to eat clean about 85-90% of the time.

I wish I could eat like that. I know I would be twice as big and I don’t mean in the waistline. Lol. High metabolism with shity appetite equals skinny guy. I used to force the food down. I refuse to do that anymore. |
