What I Eat in a Day to Stay Lean and Strong?

Being over forty like I am, it is crucial to understand that if you don’t consider changing your bad habits, your health will rapidly downgrade.

After 30, every bad decision that you make, you’ll feel the impact.
So, if you’re ready to improve your overall health life, join me.
In this blog post, you will learn how to have an easy and balanced diet, followed by exercises to improve your life and energy level.
My Daily Diet for Staying Lean and Strong
My Objectives and What to Eat?
I treat fitness like this: My life depends on it!
When you start to see things this way, there will be light in your vision, and your goal is clear.
My long-term objective is to be healthy and strong, to have mobility at any age, and not to be a burden for my loved ones.
I want to ride my bike at 100. It is possible.
I take care of my body five days a week in the gym and the rest of the two days I’m walking at least 10000 steps.
So, our body is built for movement, and it’s imperative to get exercise.
Then I take care of my mind every day by reading at least ten pages a day and learning something new as often as I can.
Third but not least is my diet.
I don’t have a very strict diet, but I take care of some small things.
Stay with me and I’ll reveal my daily routine, what I eat every day.
Morning Routine
I’m a morning person, so my wake-up hour is five o’clock.
The first thing that I do before coffee is to drink one glass of water and then one banana.
It is important after a night’s sleep to get hydrated.
What to eat before coffee?
My Daily Diet for Staying Lean and Strong?
Something easy to digest, and not to drink my coffee on an empty stomach.
After half an hour of reading, this time book is ”Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins, I prepare my before work out meal.
My regular breakfast from Monday to Friday is corn cereals with Greek yogurt, nuts, raisins, and mixed seeds.
Sometimes I add some fruits too, to diversify it a little.
Half an hour before leaving I serve one cup of whey protein shake and a collagen capsule for preventing my joints.
A balanced diet must get all the essential nutrients that your body needs.
And also I recommend 30 ml of water per kilogram.
Now it’s the moment of working out for one hour max.
As one great bodybuilder that I don’t remember his name said: ”If you stay in the gym more than one hour, you stay in the gym”.

Afternoon Fuel
After gym, I serve another cup of protein which is essential for my muscle recovery.
It is important to leave some time after training, for your body to recover, and don’t eat for 1 hour after.
Think that your body is stressed by the workout, and the food right after will stress it more.
For lunch, I don’t have a specific meal that I serve.
I eat traditional food, or something fast if I’m in a hurry, but always take care of the food that I eat.
I avoid oil-fried food, processed food, and sugar-based products.
I am not perfect, sometimes I eat those but always in small quantities and as rarely as I can.
Example of healthy fast food that I make in the kitchen in five minutes:
- I have a flatbread, I spread some cream cheese on it and add some olives, then sprinkle seeds, cheese, and vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, or anything else, and cheese and two boiled eggs. It’s like a shawarma but a healthy version. I role it and that’s it.
- Normal shawarma but all the ingredients are made in the oven not fried, and instead of mayonnaise, I use Greek yogurt.
- In a bowl, I put a water tuna fish( not in oil), add sun-flower seeds, some salad, and onion. Then some olive oil and you’re good to go.
The list it’s quite long, I have many ideas for improving my meals and diet without losing time in the kitchen.
But you get the idea.
My free E-book called ”Transform Your Body with Healthy Eating” can help you a lot on your journey.
Late Afternoon Meal
Because I’m a very energetic man, I also burn a lot of calories.
About 3 o’clock I made myself a cool smoothie.
It contains for example some spinach, forest fruits, an apple, one egg, and some oat flakes.
I add some milk, I blend it and my meal is ready.
You should try it, it is full of vitamins, nutrients, and even proteins for your body to function properly.
Please don’t read this, but sometimes I cheat with a slice of bread and some Nutella on it. LOL.
Evening Meals and Habits
In the last part of what I eat in a day, my last meal is about maximum 7 o’clock.
I ensure that it is an easy-to-digest meal, maybe some cheese with a salad or a small steak with potatoes and that’s all.
Anyway, I do 5 minutes of plank almost every day around 6 in the evening.
And don’t forget about water every day.
In the evening I read again some pages, or if I’m not in the right mood I listen to a helpful podcast or video.
And this is my daily routine, except on Saturday when I eat whatever I want.
This is my cheat day, and I enjoy it.
So, you’ve learned some new things about what food to avoid to be healthy and fit.
Tips and Tricks
So, guys, there is no secret formula for what to eat, no magic pills to do the job for you.
Don’t believe those who promise that in 4 weeks you’ll be shredded, it’s all lies.
You have to work for it, to be disciplined, hard work, and dedication.
I’m using the 80/20 diet, so I enjoy healthy foods but also cheat a little bit.
The most important thing is balance. If you want to try a cookie today, try it.
But stop at one cookie, that’s my advice.
And don’t do it daily. So what I eat in a day has to be a little bit different on the other day.
But I’m here for you to help you become better, become good-looking, and what’s more important become healthier.
