Right now I feel like I have my diet dialed in (for now) - the bulk of calories coming from fruit, yes breakfast, lunch and dinner, with the dinner portion being followed by a large green salad with mixed grilled vegeatables, hemp seeds (or flax or chia) with a small handful of nuts thrown in. Not 100% raw and I'll allow myself some room for the ocasional cooked grain, legumes or something similair. As mentioned in another post I'll still continue to dine out at on vegan fare - not often, but enough to be sociable. The grilled vegetables and seasoning are mainly filler (nutrional filler) and taste - it makes the salad "meal like". The nuts and hemp provide essential fats, a few more calories and extra protein. I seem to do a bit better strength wise with a little extra fat ad protein but I do want to keep them as close to 10% of my total calorie intake as possible. Remember fruit contains protein and greens have fat so you really can get by on very little overt fat and protein. My goal is to maximize recovery from running and lifting (and frequent racing) maintain strength while gaining speed and endurance and optimize leanness while keeping a fair amount of muscle. No small order.
We'll see how the plan works.
Thanks for reading!
Eric
