We eat a lot of fresh veggies every day, but I prepare most of them in advance. I chop and steam-sauté a variety of veggies , like cabbage, broccoli, bell peppers, green beans, and leafy greens so they’re ready to be sautéed with seasonings and fat.
Our Weekly Haul
The list below is a pretty good representation of what we eat in a typical week. Keep these stats in mind as you read the list:
Dave is 6’5” and weighs about 250. I’m 5’4” and 150 pounds of fury. I eat between 1700-1800 calories a day: 40% fat, 30% protein, 30% carbs. Dave eats more than that!
We usually eat out in restaurants only once or twice a week. During the weekdays, we cook breakfast and dinner at home. I pack my lunch and snacks to take to work; Dave eats lunch at the house.
We shop at a regular grocery store and a natural foods store. We also get a weekly organic produce delivery and order grass-fed meat online or from a local meat share.
