Personal Trainer Diet

As a personal trainer I need to practice what I preach! Here's one of my day's eating from earlier this week:

BREAKFAST

Bowl of porridge (with skimmed milk) and an apple chopped in.
Two poached eggs on one slice wholemeal toast

SNACK

Banana, and a small handful of almonds

LUNCH

Chicken curry (cooked from scratch at home) with diced lean skinless chicken breast, mushrooms, red and yellow peppers, on a bed of bulgar wheat. (instead of fattening jars of curry sauces, use some of the healthiest spices either whole or in powder form: chilli powder, garlic, ground peppercorns, cinnamon sticks, cloves, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper)

SNACK

Maximuscle Progain protein/carb shake after gym workout.
2 raw carrots, 2 sticks raw celery, handful of blueberries.

DINNER

Salmon fillet, new potatoes, courgettes, mushrooms

(I drink water throughout the day, between meals, around 2 litres in total) 

How many personal trainers in London practise what they preach? One of my personal training clients had a previous personal trainer who used to arrive with a bag of doughnuts and eat them while he trained her! Needless to say, he didn't last long (I don't mean he died, I mean he didn't last long as her trainer!)

Make sure you eat some lean protein every 3 - 4 hours. Protein enables your body to grow and repair itself, and produce a vast range of hormones and enzymes needed for your body to function healthily. For low fat protein foods click here.
