If I remember right, I pretty much thought fat grams was the enemy, my how I have changed! How far my knowledge has come.

Meal 1: Big Bowl of non-fat cereal with skim milk, maybe some toast

Meal 2: Small Whole Grain Bagel with 98% deli meat and non-fat cheese slices

Meal 3: Non-fat Cottage Cheese with an apple

Meal 4: 2 Pre-packaged chicken breast with a potato and 1 slice of fat-free cheese melted on it

Meal 5: Whole grain bagel with jelly and a big glass of skim milk

I guess I liked my bread

It was when I was 18 years old and competed in my first show. I got second as a lightweight, then off to college!

My first diet I basically ate nothing but broccoli and london broil. Some guy at the gym gave it to me. I would do tuna usually once a day. I was totally natural and weighed in at 167lbs and placed 4th in the Novice Middleweights. Non tested show.

I read this and thought 4th wasen't so bad after loseing muscle and getting fatter, then I saw there was only 4 people...Got a good laugh.

 

[abolish the weak]

I was 20 yrs old, thought I knew it all. Truth is, I knew nothing. I cant remember meal for meal, but it was something like this

meal 1- 7 egg white, 1 whole egg
1 yogurt


meal 2- protien shake in water

meal 3- yogurt, protien shake

meal 4- tuna fish, oatmeal

Train

meal 5- protien shake

meal 6- tuna fish, salad


trained all natural, however overtrained really bad. I was in the gym 2-3 hours a night and got really flat. I came in at 193 lbs down from 225 lbs. I placed 7th out of 8th in novice heavyweights, but much of it was due to my improper posing. My only training for that show was the Pumping Iron video and my Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, which was to blame for my overtraining

I can't believe you guys can remember what you ate! I can remember some general stuff (misery) but I'd have to look back at my journal. My memory sucks!

For my first show, I followed John Parillo's diet. 3500 kcals daily with half of that coming from MCT. Spent more time on the can and in the gym than anything else , but did manage to walk away with third out of eight in the light wgt. class

Did 45 min cardio every morning 4:00 a.m. outside (which was tough in Jan Feb in Rochester) with the Rocky 4 soundtrack blasting in my portable cassette player. Cheated once on a Saturday at the 8 week mark and ate 46of the best tasting chicken wings I have ever had.....LOL! I won the Mr. Buffalo (186 lbs) and took 2nd in the Lightheavies at the Mr. Rochester & New Your State Bodybuilding Championships the following week at 181 lbs.
