First day of eating with Shaun, for some reason I really like the way "Eating with Shaun" sounds. I think this may be the healthiest day of food Shaun has ever eaten (or at least ever eaten in the five years I've known him). It has actually been a bit of adjustment for me. I'm used to training quite a bit so I end up eating a lot around training. During a normal morning there's first breakfast at 4:30 or 5 a.m., training and whatever I need to fuel the training and then second breakfast around 8:30 a.m. followed by snacks at work (usually baby carrots, snap peas and nuts). Lots and lots of grazing is the norm. I'm not training at the moment, so I'm trying to maintain the delicate balance between not eating too much, yet not slipping into the "I don't deserve / should not eat at all" mode, which is something I have to watch. As an aside my arms, core and left glute are incredibly sore from all the hopping around, especially up and down the stairs. I feel like at the end of this I'm going to have a massive left leg and an atrophied right one. Planning and eating meals with Shaun helps me to remember to eat and doesn't let me get away with not eating. If we can make it a habit and if it help Shaun, even better.
Here was our first day of food:
Breakfast - Crust-less quiche with carrots, yellow squash and zucchini, bacon and beet, apple and lime juice.
Snack -An apple with Wild Friends Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter. If you haven't tried it, this stuff is AWESOME, really, really AWESOME.
Dinner -Grilled skirt steak hidden under grilled peppers and onions and a sweet potato cubed and cooked on a grill pan with a little coconut oil.
