I had a recent email from a member suggesting that it would be helpful/motivating to se what the moderators eat on an average day. So, I am starting this post and we will see who chimes in.

Those golden little sponge cakes with the cream filled center....

Oh wait, that was in a galaxy far, far away and another lifetime!

I seriously follow the bodybuilders grocery list. I use everything in there. It does not have to be boring, a bit of creativeness makes eating healthy a breeze....for instance....Lemon shrimp with Asparagus....

8 ounces uncooked rotini or other small-shaped pasta
1/2 pound fresh asparagus
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound medium to large raw shrimp, cleaned with tail off
(or 2 cups frozen, thawed shrimp)
1 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Wash asparagus and snap off tough larger ends. Cut asparagus in to bite-sized pieces. Cook pasta according to directions. During last couple minutes while pasta is cooking, add the asparagus and cook until crisp-tender. Drain and keep warm.

Combine lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and olive oil and mix well. Add shrimp and green onion and toss to coat. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until hot. Add shrimp mixture and cook over medium low heat until shrimp turns pink, 3-5 minutes. Add cooked pasta and asparagus and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Makes 4 Servings
Serving Size: 12 ounces

99% from the grocery list, 2 protein shakes daily, the other 1% is my cheat meal 1 time per week usually Asian food (which most of it is all on the list except the rice noodles) and 2 Heinekin on the same day as the Asian food.

Chicken, lots and lots of chicken. Eggs, dozens and dozens of eggs, Chickens don't stand a chance.

On Sundays I cook Ron's and and my meals for the week, this is what I cook.

Turkey Chili, at least 16 cups

Chicken, at least 15lbs

a five pound bag of broccoli

8 servings of Turkey spagetti

and sometimes I make what I call dirty rice
(Rice and ground turkey with salsa and green peppers and Onions)

And for Breakfast (By the way he cooks that everyday)
I have 4 egg whites and a cup of oatmeal (Although I did switch to sredded wheat for awhile)

I don't know what he is having for breakfast these days, he will have to tell you (I am still in bed, I eat those eggs cold every morning:) )
