The Hunger for Success: The Solution's Offseason

[The Solution]

Nice to see you eating the good whole foods cold, Bob. Definitely better than having to supplement everything.

My stomach hates me after eating a protein bar or using lots of whey, hence why i do not.

[Dadup]

Bob, I've been meaning to ask you, what do you think your favorite meal you've created would be?

[Extreme One]

Correct me if I am wrong but the variety in your diet makes it easier while traveling than an individual who eats the same things over and over? Nice work in here. Time to kill chest and shoulders!

Not looking for a debate...but personally I prefer simplicity and consistency. For me it makes it that much easier to keep track of macros

This, depends on what i have available to have when on vacation or traveling. If i can cook i will cook, but most of the time i will be on the road, hiking, or doing family activity, so the essence to carry a cooler around a look like a social outcast wont be that smart lol, let alone bringing food to a day long wedding. Just got to make due and your macros with very smart choices.

You can easily find multiple ways to make good choices and still hit your MICROS first and then calories 2nd.

Just curious but doesn't Jason give you a meal by meal plan? So you don't have to worry as much about tracking macros since he is kinda doing it?

No I dont. If an athlete is advanced enough i work by macros. They have more choice then and I can make changes on the fly even in the car via phone.

I wasn't sure with Sean because I thought he mentioned that he had you just do meals for him so it would be easier for him and you two would both know exactly what he was eating. but I know you do macros and had a master food list with approved foods so they can make w/e fit there daily macros.

Jason does not have a "Master" food list, he suits the diet towards the individual via what they like to eat and sources based on their personal preference or gives them macros to hit.

Just because i use different things does not mean i dont eat and hit my MICROS', hit my fat sources, hit my protein etc etc.. I eat more potatoes, fruits, veggies as everyone else does on this board. I just have different ways of preparing foods and hit my kcals. I dont abide by eating only 5-6-7 sources of food your going to lack major micronutrients for sheltering yourself to just a small select food group even if you use fish-oils or multi's we never really get adequate amounts of every vitamin/mineral we can even with a very sporadic and verse diet .... especially if one is cutting (such as myself) and as kcals do drop.

Im wise when i eat out, and when i travel and make sure to hit my calories, but when traveling its a lot harder if you really cant cook and always on the go or traveling or being in hotels. So i will make due and do my best if we eat out to hit my kcals, eyeball, and move on. I have plenty of dry foods packed to aid in this.

Had a good flight
hit up a man vs food restaurant (jack n Grill that has the 7lb breakfast burrito)
Went to Red Rock to hike the big mountains and bleachers
hitting The Buff tomorrow morning another man vs food restaurant

Smashed a back session this afternoon (5 p.m. here which is like 7 p.m. my normal time) had a great workout, solid pump, and increases from last week. Out with the family now.

Jason does, yes. He misread this post and thought it was ref to Bob.
