Nutrition is KEY to any goal! High protein diet and carb diet, slowly decreasing my intake on carbs and increasing my protein. Right now I'm doing 20% fat, 45% Carbs and 35% Protein, 1750 calories a day.

EATING CLEAN!

Lean meats, no cheese, no milk (almond milk only), greek yogurt, fish, lotsssss of chicken breast, brown rice, sweet potatoes, quinoa, ALMONDS!, endless amounts of fresh veggies. I tend to keep everything organic and I read labels. Rule of thumb: If I have no idea what is listed on the ingredients list or I can't pronounce it, I don't eat it. My "diet" is STRICT!

6 meals a day! 1 gallon of water!

I use an app on my phone to track how much I'm eating/drinking and to see if I need to get any other nutrients in my body as the day goes on. I don't drink ANYTHING besides water and my protein shakes.

Cheat meals once every 10 days if I allow myself, and I substitute homemade protein brownies if I have cravings. Fruit intake is lower then normal because let's face it, sugar is sugar, same as fat, I allow myself A LOT of good fat (avocado, nuts) but still not going overboard just because it is "good" fat.

meal 1 - always steel cut oats, sometimes egg whites and veggies or or my "turkey egg muffins"

meal 2 - (snack) almond butter or fruit with multi grain toast

meal 3 - usually protein/herbalife shake

meal 4- good carbs (quinoa, brown rice, sweet pot) with mixed veggies, usually chicken

meal 5 - (snack) either a half portion of meal 4 or protein shake, depending on the day

meal 6 - usually the same as meal 4

I don't really stick to this routine but I'm just giving you an idea of what I usually do.
