Been in Louisville for the last couple of days to meet and ‘mastermind’ with a small group of top fit pros from around the US, and it has been great.
I also decided to fly in a little early and check out Nashville for 1/2 a day, and that was a lot of fun too. Did a trolley tour around the city in the AM, walked down Broadway to check out the scene, and then finished up the visit with lunch at Hatti B’s and some SERIOUSLY hot – like worthy of an eating challenge hot – chicken!
So at this point, you are probably thinking – “Forest – you are a trainer! Why the heck are you showing me pics of you eating crap food?”
Really it’s because I want to show you that it’s perfectly okay to enjoy yourself occasionally … as long as you are more or less dialed in the rest of the time.
And in truth, I have been eating pretty well the rest of the time out while out here – I’ve actually been trying to follow, as I typically do, my “FVT Meal Plan” (basically what we’ll be using for the upcoming 30 Day Rapid Fat Loss Challenge).
Here’s an example day:
** Important to note that the actual PORTIONS are going to vary depending on the individual (use the guide linked to above to calculate your specific intake requirements) **
