Morning:

Afternoon:
- I’ll drink a lot of water anytime I get a slight feeling of hunger.

- Green Giant Optimized
- Supplements:
- Omega 3 (Heart)
- Biotin (Hair)
- Glucosamine (Joints)
- Multivitamin
Dinner (Eat Before 9pm):
- I prep all my food in the beginning of the week by vacuum sealing my protein of choice and then cooking it sous vide to save time. I try to get in a total of 140 grams of protein and use MyFitnessPal to track how much I’m eating.
