How many calories do you consume in that one meal?

You wear foam ear plugs at work?

I have foam ear tips on my ear buds and wear them without music playing so co-workers are none the wiser while I get full sound isolation. It works out quiet well for me, and pulling one out to engage with anyone is effortless.

Not entirely sure, cause I have never counted. One of the things I like about eating this way is that I just eat until I feel like I am full. But the only foods I eat are: lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, fish or steak, and then some other random vegetables and good whey protein. Late in the week I might eat some nuts and seeds, and then I might eat a sweet potato the day after I work out. It is recommended to work out in the afternoons if you eat like this, but I like to lift heavy in the mornings and then just drink water til my big meal. Then whey protein after my meal. But everything I do is pretty much by personal preference rather than this guy said to do it like this. I eat candy by the bulk on the weekends too, peach rings and anything mint. thats pretty much my entire diet and for always being a chubby kid, I can confidently say I have grown to be muscular using these methods!
