Something in the 3,000/day range?

How picky are you?
I ask simply because the more simple you are, the easier it is to make suggestions. I literally eat the same thing 5 or 6 times a day when I'm on a cut diet, and the only thing that typically changes is the main protein source (..
i.e...I rotate chicken, tuna and ground turkey); veggie sources are fairly constant -
asparagus and broccoli - as is my basic complex carb source:
yams.
If you want an idea of what I consume regularly, here's a basic list:
- chicken
- tuna
- bacon (..both turkey and pork)
- seasoned ground turkey
- eggs
- apples
- broccoli
- asparagus
- yams
- rice (..sparingly)
- Ritz crackers (..I use Ritz as a carb reload/refeed along with tuna during long workouts)
- almonds
- sunflower seeds
Those are my essential foods. I mix & match and pair foods depending on my mood, but they are almost always off of this list. Any particular reason why you think you need 3,000 calories? Even at my weight -
188 lbs. currently - with my amount of muscle, I don't even take in that many......not even on my heavy lifting days.
