My 2 Meals a Day to Lose Weight or Get in Shape

 Today, I would like to share with you an example of two simple meals that I incorporate into my daily routine. These meals have been instrumental in helping me maintain my body shape and a weight of approximately 80 kg/176 pounds. Additionally, they can be useful if I need to lose a few extra pounds and get back in shape.

Honestly, since I achieved my current shape a year and a half ago, I haven't experienced any weight gain. My six-pack has remained intact throughout this period.

I follow a two-meal-a-day routine, consisting of lunch and dinner. I usually skip breakfast as I don't feel inclined to eat in the morning. My eating pattern resembles intermittent fasting, although I adopt it effortlessly and naturally, without needing to exert any deliberate effort.

My Lunch

My 2 Meals for a Day to Lose Weight or Get in Shape

Usually, I have my lunch around 12 noon. During the weekdays, I avoid consuming any animal-based food for lunch. However, on weekends, when my wife prepares delicious meals, I may indulge in meat, chicken, fish, or some cheese for lunch. Nevertheless, even on weekends, I tend to minimize my intake of animal-based food as I don't feel a strong need for it.

The meal consists of:

  • Walnuts - 6, about 150 calories,
  • Raisin- 50 grams, about 125 calories, soaked in boiling water and left overnight to absorb water and swell,
  • Pearl barley - 200 grams, cooked in water with salt and sprinkled with a teaspoon of ground flax seeds after cooking. It's about 600 calories,
  • Pumpkin - 750 grams, simply stewed one whole pumpkin cut into chunks with very little sugar (1 scoop per huge pot). It's about 200 calories.

Total about 1075 calories.

I eat pearl barley with walnuts first, then raisins with pearl barley, and then pumpkin with pearl barley.

My Dinner

Usually, I have my dinner around 6 pm. When it comes to dinner, I have the flexibility to include animal-based food, but it's not a requirement. It's entirely optional for me. If I don't feel like having it, I simply choose not to.

The meal consists of:

  • Apples - 3, about 120 calories,
  • Potatoes - about 1 kg or a bit less, 600 calories, just boiled potatoes with salt,
  • Canned tomatoes, cabbage, fresh parsley - I don't count their calories because it's too little. I eat them as much as I want.
  • Fried chicken liver - I didn't measure how many grams it had. I just ate 5 small pieces. It should have about 200 - 250 calories I guess, as it soaked some fat while frying.

Total about 1000 calories.

I measured all the food precisely once, but now I estimate the portions "by eye". My approach to calorie counting is also quite rough, and surprisingly, it has been effective for me.

As you can see, my diet primarily consists of carbohydrates. However, despite this, it has helped me burn fat and reduce my body weight from 95 kg/209 pounds to 80 kg/176 pounds. Once I reached 80 kg, my weight loss stabilized, and it has been maintained around this number ever since. This suggests that my meals provide the necessary calories to support my body's functioning and maintain its current shape and weight.

Bodybuilding Body Types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

Which Type Do You Belong to? Human genetics determine many of the inherent characteristics that we are born with and cannot be changed later in life. However, through regular training and exercise, it is possible to overcome some of the limitations imposed by our genes. In 1940, William Sheldon introduced three distinct body types in his work "The Varieties of Human Physique", which is still used in medicine, science, and sports today. These three body types are known as ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. However, it is important to note that these body types are generalizations and not everyone will fit neatly into one category, as most people are a combination of these body types, with only some aspects of each present in their overall physique.

Kai Greene parted ways with his coach Oscar Ardennes

Why Kai Greene left Oscar? Interesting news excited fans of Kai Green and the bodybuilding world in general: Kai Greene decided to stop working with his coach Oscar Ardennes. Oscar and Kai's cooperation started before the Arnold Classic in 2009, although they had previously known each other. The cooperation immediately paid off — that was the victory in Columbus, which contributed to the continuation of the tandem. This is true, but things didn't go as expected. Yes, there was a victory at Arnold Classic in 2010, but many began to notice that Kai Greene showed muscle quality not as good as before, and since then he has not shown the best condition. However, the steady growth of muscle mass goes really well. They say that Ardennes's training method is focused on muscle mass. Mr. Olympia 2010 went not good for Kai Greene. Oscar Ardennes didn't want to admit his own mistakes as Kai Greene's personal coach in preparation for the competition. Perhaps stress and other f...

The True Story of the Mysterious Case with Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan with Documentary

In the United States, there is still great interest in the case involving Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan. In fact, the interest in the case appears to be increasing rather than decreasing. A book titled "The Flame in the Desert: The True Story of the Mysterious Case of Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan," written by Glenn Puitom, has recently been released and is being sold in bookstores throughout the country. It is worth noting that the author treated the bodybuilding community, as well as Craig and Kelly, with a high degree of respect. When writing the book, he did not base his conclusions on rumors, speculation, or other unverified information. Instead, he relied solely on police reports and analyzed their conclusions and assumptions. It is also worth mentioning that the author has a legal education. Based on the book's sales volumes, it appears to be becoming a bestseller in the United States and in other countries. A quick review of the case. In December 2005, a police patrol ...

Dorian Yates 'Less is better!'

There has been much debate and many "spears broken" among theorists regarding the frequency of training in bodybuilding. However, my point of view has the advantage of being proven in practice. Once, when I wanted to know how often I needed to go to the gym, I looked at the blisters on my own hands and found the answer. As we know, the skin on your hands becomes rough when you regularly lift weights. Blisters form as a protective reaction of the skin, but if you overexert your hands with a barbell every day, your skin can't withstand it and may turn into bleeding wounds. Therefore, your skin needs rest, and during that time, it can repair the damaged areas.
