Training Diet-Need New Ideas

[Badger]

What do you pack or Where do you go for lunch during work days?
I will usually go to Souper Salad,Luby's or sometimes even Wendy's(chicken breast sandwich/no sauce,baked potato,salad),Taco Bell(chicken burrito,no sauce),Subway(grilled chicken or sliced turkey).


So-What do yaal eat?

I know this is exciting but here goes...for lunch I usually bring either good ol PB&J and some triscuits hehe or a sandwich consisting of whole wheat bread and a slice of swiss cheese...I need to eat better, at least its better than what I ate in college!

I know that the vast majority of you wouldn't believe me, but I function best with a diet very high in fats and with minimal (actually zero) carbs. I eat red meat, a ton of cheese, mayo, lots of vegetables, fish (exp. salmon) but no bread, candys, sweets, fruits or starches.

Dont you feel out of "gas" or energy from the lack of carbs?

i work across the street from a wendy's, so i eat their grilled chicken like a maniac! sandwich, salad, pita...it don't matter
i don't get the baked potato anymore because if i ate the whole thing with whatever i was already eating, i would get a total "cement gut." you guys know the feeling? when it feels like you ate some cement mix and then drank a glass of water?

Yella, I actually have MUCH more energy without carbs. But I'm on a definite minority; I'm Very Carb-sensitive;for some reason I cannot process them fully, so I store them in fat. Also, high glycemic ones give me headaches and dizziness. Not so with fats. They give me energy.

I was told I have the perfect methabolic make up of a long distance runner; I can use stored fats for long-duration activities.

Underdog: Re: "with minimal (actually zero) carbs"-Many of the foods you listed DO contain carbohydrates. However, in very small amounts.

Underdog's described diet can provide the necessary substrates to sustain the body through protien intake; when the amino acids are deaminated and stripped of their nitrogen to form saccharides (sugars) to provide a substrate for anaerobic energy production. Most people can adapt to such a diet... however it doesn't work well for most athletes because it doesn't provide enough substrate for glycogen compensation because of the volume of their activity.
