The most common question I get asked is about my dietary intake. It often goes something like “What do you eat in a day?”, “How do you hit your protein target consistently?”, “How do you prepare meals ahead of time in an efficient way?”.

Fad diets and intermittent fasting have a place in very specific contexts, but I’ve found they don’t work particularly well for me. I’m much more adherent to a consistent meal schedule centered around a regimented list of foods.

This also makes it incredibly easy to track my protein and calorie consumption which are both important to consider regardless of one’s goals.
