No. I understand completely that hiring a coach would probably benefit my physique and placings. However, for me I cannot imagine turning over the reins completely to someone. The enjoyment I get out of this entire process is trying to figure out things on my own. Not to say that I won't hire someone for a piece of the puzzle but, as of right now, I do not see myself ever hiring someone for the nutrition piece of things. I am a nutrition geek through and through.

Nutrition. Typically in the past I have preferred to separate carbs and fats. Over the course of a prep, I would drop carbs and replace with fats. In the offseason, I simply reverse the process. This prep I am going to stir things up and simply add some complex carbs to the fats. Since I made good gains my entire prep, I want to keep things going and simply build on my prep diet. I ended up low carbs with a huge refeed once per week. Initially, as carbs were higher, my refeed was down around 800 grams of high glycemic carbs once per week. As carbs dripped during the week, this number would increase. Peak week I hit a high of 2,500 grams of carbs. I go by "feel" and am fortunate in that my hunger level is a good indicator of when to push carbs/cals. Right now I am still extremely hungry so that refeed will stay fairly large. As my cals increase during the week, I expect my refeeds to get smaller and smaller. Fats. I love them. If I consume too many complex carbs, I feel sluggish and have digestion issues. This offseason I will be keeping fats high and adding some carbs as I go but most likely not terribly high....We'll see. I am not one to lock myself down to any one way of dieting. You never know how your body is going to respond.

To start I am going to keep my diet the same Sunday through Friday. THe only exception is pwo I will add a shake of 25 grams of protein and 80 grams of simple carbs.
Meal One
3/4 cup of oats, two scoops of whey, 1 1/2 cups of blueberries, one banana, one scoop of a greens supplement
Meal Two
7 oz of chicken, turkey, cod, or flounder
2 slices of ezekial bread
4 tablespoons of sunflower seed butter
2 cups of broccoli
Meal Three
7 oz. of chicken, turkey, cod or flounder
2 slices of ezekial bread
4 tablespoons of raw almond butter
cucumbers and tomatoes
Meal Four
7 oz. of chicken, turkey, cod, or flounder
1 avocado
cucumbers and tomatoes
Meal Five
7 oz of 93% lean ground beef
2 cups of stringbeans
****THis meal is getting changed as soon as I run out of beef. I love red meat and my body responds to it very well. However, for the better part of my prep, I was eating ground beef twice a day and six times a week. From a health stand point, I want to drop the beef for a spell. I plan on increasing carbs/cals to this meal soon and I have an idea of what I am going to do....Just want to see how it plays out.*****
Meal Six
10 egg whites
Spinach and tomatoes
one scoop of a greens supplement
Saturday is my refeed day. I keep fat as low as possible and cut my protein roughly in half. I typically eat a combination of the following: kid's cereal (I am a cereal WHORE and currently have an assortment of 20 or 30 different kinds), lf muffins, pop-tarts, white potatoes, white bread, pancakes, french toast, zucchini bread (from Sam's, simply AWESOME), lf waffles, and bagels. I go by "feel" and let hunger and the mirror dictate how many carbs I consume. When I find myself tossing and turning Friday nights thinking about what I am going to eat, I know I need to really push the carbs.

Supplements and Other Notes: This past prep I began to pay attention to the ph of foods. I release that with the high protein the acidic level of my body was high. That being said I started to try to add foods lower in ph to balance that out. I added only sea salt to my food, drank only water, had lemon at every meal, added a greeens supplement, doubled up on my veggies, and began eating things like cucumbers and tomatoes. I felt better but most likely I am just a lunatic.
Supps: As stated earlier, I am a huge believer in the idea that in order to grow, you need to be in optimal health. As a result, most of my supps are rather boring: Multi, greens, multi mineral, b-complex, fish oil, green tea, CO-Q10, Cycle support, glucosamine, vitamin E, D-3, probiotic, digestive enzymes, etc. I will have intra workout the following: 5 gams of BCAA, 4 grams of Leucine, two scoops of Amino Eneregy from ON, 2 grams each of Citrulline Malate and Beta Alanine, one tbs. of dark chocolate, 5 grams of glutamine, and 2.5 grams of creatine monohydrate. With the exception of the Amino Energy, I will add all of the above to my pwo shake as well. I also like to do my cardio first thing before meal one, so I will add most of the above (no Amino Energy), pre cardio. I also add 50 grams of carbs intra workout when training legs. With the exception of the little bit of caffeine in the Amino Energy, I use no fat burners or stims in the offseason. I hate the way they make me feel and I prefer to save them for the last few weeks of prep.
