A bit about my current diet.
Hey Guys,
One of the questions I get asked quite a bit is what does my own nutrition looks like?
People assume that, because I do this for a living, my diet must be perfect and the holy grail for anyone wanting to sort out their own nutrition.
This isn't the case at all.
While it is true that I have a very good idea on what works for me when I am trying to accomplish certain things (lose a bit of fat, gain some muscle), I am often trying out different things in the hopes of expanding my tool box to help my clients. Because of this I don't post my diet much as I would just get asked questions like,

Because of this I don't post my diet much as I would just get asked questions like,
- Why is he eating cereal?
- Why isn't he eating any protein?
- Why so much fibre?
- Why does he cheat and then fast?
Plus a whole load of other things. The simple is answer is that I like to experiment on myself to find solutions to problems. Some of them work well (adding LISS in for fighters), some of them bad (drinking just protein shakes for a month).
However even with all of that in mind, here is what my diet looks like at the moment. Bare in mind that this is for me, and doesn't remotely look like what many of my clients are doing. Everyone is different and has different needs and solutions.
These meals are generally dated 3 hours apart with either of the workout nutritions added depending on when I train.
Meal 1
4 whole eggs, handful of mixed peppers, handful of onions, 1 tomato, 1 tbsp grass fed butter (to cook with), 34g whey protein, 5g added fibre, 1 probiotic, 1 multi vit, 2 fish oil
Meal 2
100g chicken breast, large green salad, 20 almonds, 2 fish oil
Meal 3
100g chicken breast, large green salad, 20 almonds, 2 fish oil
Meal 4
100g chicken breast, 100g steak, large portion of green veg
Meal 5
100g chicken breast, 60g natural peanut butter, lots of celery, 2 fish oil, 3 ZMA
Workout Nutrition
Biotest Indigo 3G taken 30 mins prior to workout, 6 caps
Weights
15 mins before - 30g (65g on Deadlift and squat days) Biotest Plazma
During - 30g Biotest MAG 10
NoGi/BJJ
30g MAG 10 during.
That's it really. As you can see I don't really eat that much at the moment and I'm using high protein, high fat, low carb. This is working great for my recovery and sleep at the moment and I'm going to continue with this but add in a few more calories as the weeks go on.
