  Off-Season diet - 2007

This was my 2007 off-season diet. I pretty much eat the same foods at the same time everyday unless I decide to change things around a bit.

07h00 - Meal 1 Breakfast - Oats and 1 protein shake

09h30 - Meal2 - 2 Cups of rice and 2 cans of tuna

12h00 - Meal 3 - Lunch - 3 Chiken breasts with 2 cups of rice or brown bread

14h30 - Meal 4 - Protein shake

17h30 - Meal 5 - Supper - 3 Chicken breasts with 2 cups of rice or brown bread

17h30 - Go to gym to train for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours

19h30 - Meal 6 - Protein shake

21h00 - Meal 7 - 1 Cup of rice and 2 cans of tunans of tuna

I usually drink water when I eat, or I will take some juice with my food.  I like my water allot.  I prefer it to cool drinks and sodas.

Some weeks I mite also decide just to add some more shakes between meals to increase my calories and carbs.

My favourite foods are chicken and steak.  I do not eat any junk food.  I believe in it to eat clean and healthy.

I always set aside around 12 weeks to prepare for a show.  My diet consists out of the following:

05h00 - Cardio training consisting of treadmill walking for 45 minutes

07h00 - Meal 1 - 1 Cup of Oats and a whey protein shake
