Eat with AX for a day!

Brandon Hahn July 25, 2013 Nutrition Articles

Welcome to the AXtreme family!  Please take a seat and get settled in for a full day of meals.  Ok, so you won’t be dining with us physically, but you will get a taste of how we throwdown!  Healthy meals don’t have to taste bland, you must know how to cook them.  Put on your chef’s hat and let’s head to the kitchen.

Meal 1. Breakfast

The first meal of the day.  It sets the tone for the rest of the day.  You need good food that fills you up and gets your glycogen stores back to normal.  A good balance of fast and slow digesting carbs is best.  Top that off with some healthy protein and we are good to go.

1/2 C Egg Whites
1 Whole Eggs
1 Slice Fat-Free Cheese

1 C Oatmeal (dry measure)
3 Packets Splenda
1/2 Scoop Whey Protein
1 Low Carb Yogurt

Total 49g protein, 64g carbs, 12g fat

The eggs and cheese are pan fried (using cooking spray).  The oats, whey, splenda, and yogurt are blended together and made into pancakes.  Top the pancakes with a light coat of sugar-free syrup.

Meal 2. Lunch

This meal is basically the post-workout meal.  If you consume some protein post-workout be sure to reduce the amount here.  We are calorie conscious at AX.  This meal normally is consumed about 15 minutes post-workout.  A solid dose of carbs and protein!

1 C Oatmeal (dry measure)
3 Packets Splenda
1/2 Scoop Whey Protein
1 Low Carb Yogurt

Total 45g protein, 66g carbs, 10g fat

The oats, whey, splenda, and yogurt are blended together and made into pancakes.  Top the pancakes with a light coat of sugar-free syrup.  Pancakes are an easy on-the-go meal.  Sometimes, we bake these and carry them around the office.  Convenience is key!

Meal 3. Second Lunch

No shocker, another helping of carbs, protein, and some healthy fats!  Sandwiches are another grab and go style food should the need arise.  Otherwise, add a salad on the side (use calorie-free dressing of course) and enjoy a meal with a fellow AXtremer.

4 Slices Bread (whatever bread digests well for you)
1.5 Cans Tuna Fish (drained)
2 Tbsp. Mustard
Sprinkle of Cayenne (bring the heat!)

Total 51g protein, 60g carbs, 8g fat

Mix the tuna and mustard.  Toast the bread, slap on the tuna mixture, sprinkle with cayenne, and eat!

Meal 4. Dinner

Meals stay fairly balanced throughout the day which helps keep energy levels stable.  Each meal has a solid amount of protein, carbs, and fats to keep you lean!

7oz. BLSL Chicken Breast
10 oz. Sweet potatoes
1 Tbsp Butter

Total 48g protein, 60g carbs, 14 fat

Butter? You mean the devil?! Butter is fine, it’s healthy, so stay calm.  If you want a processed oil spread, feel free to add it.  A good source of butter is key.  Head to a store like whole foods and get butter from grass fed cattle.

Meal 5. Second Dinner

The final meal which is basically second dinner.  There’s no snacking in this house!  We eat food and we eat well!

1.5C 1% Cottage Cheese
2 Nature Valley Trail Mix Bars

Total 45g protein, 62g carbs, 13g fat

That wraps it up! This meal plan is actually my current meal plan (Brandon Hahn).  Current weight is around 185 pounds.  Just in case you were curious about the weight of the person consuming these meals.  Enjoy!

Total Calories for the day: 2713
238g Protein
312g Carbs
57g Fat

Some people may be freaking out to see a bar in the mix.  These bars are fairlyhealthy, they contain dark chocolate, and they fit the macro requirements for the final meal.  Live a little, do not sweat it.  If you want, substitute 5 ounces of sweet potatoes and consume your fish oil during this time.

A diet is all about calories in versus calories out.  That is the key focus.  Beyond that, you need to find foods that suit your body and fit your lifestyle.  This doesn’t mean greasy food and snickers bars, however overdosing the “bro foods” is toxic.  It wears on you and sooner or later, you crack.  Why not toss in a little bit of goodness to allow yourself to always stay the course.  Thanks for sitting down with us.  Your pump is probably still rocking from the Supersize we took pre-workout, so be sure to hang that arm out of the window on the ride home!
