Nutrition Part II:

The last episode was the longest solo episode I have done at a whopping 33 min. It is only a tip of the iceberg when it comes to nutrition but hopefully it is a good start for you.

I realized I covered a ton of stuff in regards to nutrition but I did not cover ideas of what to eat. So today I want to give you some actionable steps when deciding what to eat. If you are looking for some good healthy and tasty recipes Marksdailyapple is a fantastic resource but I like to keep it simple so here we go.

First thing in the morning –  a cup or 2 of coffee and a big glass of water with chlorophyll and 3-5 grams of creatine. Creatine has been known to be great for physical performance but it also has shown to be valuable for cognitive improvements.

I always attempt to do at least a 12-hour fast. It depends how strict you are but I do not count coffee so I should so not food for at least 12 – 14 hours.

My first meal is almost always eggs. I alternate between 2 different meals – eggs in a bone broth or over easy eggs with a side of guacamole. I do NOT want to spike my insulin for the first meal of the day so I do not have anything with high glycemic index like fruit or sweet potato unless it is the occasional berries.

Lunch depends on where I am or what I am doing but it might be a salad or just a grass-fed burger with pickles or maybe some chicken thighs in the airfryer with Chulula hot sauce and some avocado mayo.

Dinner is almost always either a naked grass-fed burger with sweet potato pieces cooked in the airfryer and then I drizzle truffle oil on it and eat it with avocado mayo. It is the food I would take on a dessert island for sure!

Then dessert is usually a piece of extra dark chocolate (80-90% dark).

Snacks will consist of nut bars, nuts, or even a can of olives. I know I am weird but I snack on olives like I would on chips. lol

I do have berries, mushrooms, and sautéed spinach on occasion. And while 90+% of my diet looks like this I love the occasional NY style pizza and sushi!

The last thing I love to snack on is something my wife makes which are 4 ingredient almond cookies. All they contain are almond flour, a little bit of maple syrup, baking soda, and vanilla. That is it and they are delicious. She uses only a fraction of the recommended maple syrup so they are not too sweet but you can decide the sweetness for yourself.

Here is the thing, I love food. I love trying new food and I love the taste of food. Everything I eat I enjoy… for the most part. I or more specifically Jen (my wife) just finds healthy ways of preparing it.
