What does a trainer eat in a day and how do we cheat and stay thin?

7/11/2019

0 Comments

 

This is just a fun post to satisfy anyone's curiosity. On the very slight chance you lay awake at night wondering what I had to eat today - a typical Thursday - then this for you.

Or, more likely, if you wonder how I still "cheat" and stay in shape then read on.

P.s. I hate the term "cheat meals". I wish it was never invented.

I want to break a myth/stigma that I think surrounds personal trainers. People think that we eat uber healthy all the time; that we never allow ourselves a treat or only eat meal prepped food. ​

I'll compare protein content, their Calorie content, and the protein to Calorie ratio (the lower the better i.e. you get more protein for less Calories). Plus, I'll give a brief review of each product.

1) Consistency is KEY
You will not lose body fat if you are not consistent with your approach. If you do well during the week and then not-so-well on the weekend you may, at best, finish where you started.
It was no coincidence that the weeks where I was most consistent (weeks 1 and 2) produced far better results than weeks where I over-indulged on the weekends (Week 3).
