In response to so many requests for more information about my diet, I will do my best to post as many of my food logs as time will allow. Some posts will also have recipe links as well. Remember, everybody ha, and I metabolize fats really well. I also don’t use any supplements or powders, but instead eat whole foods, a wide variety of vegetables, high quality fats and proteins, and I eat fair bit of vegtable protein like legumes and pulses…If you have any questions about nutrition and metabolism, please post here!
Meal 1: 2 egg omelette ss a unique physiology and respond to foods differently, and a lot will also depend on how you built up your metabolism and physique in your off-season. I’m going into this dial-in at around 10%BF, and my goals is to drop down to about 8%BF. I have a very high carb tolerancetuffed with about 1/4 c sauteed mushrooms, scallion, grape tomato and black olive, topped with cilantro. It was cooked in my new favorite fat, Niter Kibeh, a type of Ethiopian Ghee that I first read about in Rebecca Wood’s book, “The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia”.
Meal 2: 4 oz poached chicken, 1 cup eggplant seared off in Niter Kibeh with some cumin spiced carrots. This was a pre-workout meal, and I ate if after doing 50 backbends and some other flexibility exercises.
Meal 3: one 8″ crepe made with soy/corn/wheat flours, filled with carmelized banana cooked in ghee, and topped with honey, nutmeg and 2 crushed walnuts. This was my post Leg Workout meal, and it is supposed to be a high carb spike in an otherwise low carb diet protocol…

Meal 5: 3 oz seared paneer, (in about 1 tsp of Niter Ghee) over eggplant and cherry tomatoes with tikka paneer masala spice…this is my new favorite!
Meal 6: Chicken and m
ushroom soup with a slice of buttered french baguette and one small slice of cheese and mushroom thin-crust pizza, (this was a post-theater meal with friends, who insisted I join them..the food was delicious, believe me, and having only one small slice of incredible ooey-gooey pizza was a supreme exercises in self-control!!
Your food looks sooooo good!
Echoing what Git It Girl wrote – your meals look fabulous!
Question: you wrote that you metabolize fats really well and I’m curious how does one know whether or not they metabolize fat well? What are some indications that one might not do well with fats? Thanks for your time.
