Wow, somebody actually reads this stuff!!! Thanks for the comment.

If I can stay healthy, I could make a lot more progress, but every time I get feeling good I overdo it, strain something and have to back way off again for a few weeks or months; that's the only drawback to getting old, that, and regrets that you didn't know what you know now when you were a lot younger!!!

Goals for this year: get body fat under 10%, bodyweight under 205, ATG squat 375x5, deadlift 405x3, military press 175x5

show us your nutrition xxx

Generally I eat only protein sources, fruits and vegetables and drink only a half dozen glasses of water, a cup of tea and a glass of wine or a beer with dinner, but I am not fanatical about it. I cheat a few times a week with a desert or something.

Typical day might look like:

Pre-workout: protien shake (I like Biotest's Metabolic Drive, mixes easily with water, tastes good and digests quickly)

Breakfast: half grapefruit, 3 eggs or 8oz of cottage cheese, and/or fruit (prunes or banana)

Mid-morning snack: 8oz of mixed nuts, fruit (raisins, banana, etc).

Lunch: Salad or fruit, can of tuna or cold cuts and cheese

Mid-afternoon snack: protien bar (I like MetRx Protien Plus - 32 grams of protien and taste good, buy them by the case at BJ's) or yogurt or crackers and peanut butter and fruit (apple, etc)

Dinner: meat (fish, chicken, turkey, pork roast, steak, etc), vegetable, glass of wine or beer

Bedtime Snack (if I get hungry): yogurt, cottage cheese and/or granola bar or fruit
