My eating habits

People are usually surprised that I've been eating the same thing every day for 2.5 years now.
It was 2.5 years ago that I decided to start training and change my eating habits for real.

I realise that there were quite a few different views on the topic of food and diets.
Actually I love the world diet because everyone who is or have been on a diet hates that word I've noticed.

Before I change my habits I ate a little bit of everything. Some cheap pork with spaghetti...some of this and some of that. And I had to think about what I was going to eat tonight and so on. Sometimes I forgot or procrastinated and got super hungry and ran off to get pizza. I wasn't fat or anything but the most annoying thing was that I didn't enjoy food and a lot of my brain capacity went to thinking about food.

My criteria for my new food habits was this

1. Had to be healthy stuff and a minimal amount of carbs if I wasn't training (add carbs if training)
2. I did not want to have to think about food. I used to think about the next meal and how many times I'd eaten today or if this was too unhealthy - NO MORE any of that
3. I wanted it to take a minimum amount of time to prepare.
4. To taste good

I also read up on the 8 hour window theories and research and I gave that a try. That was great. Common wisdom is that one should have a big breakfast as soon as one wakes up. I've always had porridge when I woken up. I think that's good because as a kid it's not as easy as it is now to change things around. To eat breakfast at 12am just feels so natural to me. I don't have to sit there at 7am and down that breakfast when my stomach is smaller then my fist. Around 12am I get naturally hungry. Another big plus is that it's much easier to not over eat because you just don't have enough time to do it.

A normal day for me would look like

12am
Bake

4pm
Bake

7pm
Nuts, berries and yogurt

9pm
popcorn and milk (if I'm training)

The bakes is consisting of...
1kg chicken
1kg kangaroo minced meat
500g bacon
500g cheese
500g broccoli
300g mushrooms
1 squash
3 eggs + 300grams thickened sour cream
Black pepper and extra hot chilli sauce

I make the bake once a week so it's always ready and does not require any preparing time then microwaving. I can make it in 30min and the cost is 38$
I love it and it seems like I can't get enough. When I'm at home I put some sour cream in there and eat it out of taco breads. I usually eat the bake with 1 or 2kg of sweet potatoes as well.

Boring?  NO! I love it. Even if I eat the same thing every day I get a lot of variety every day and best of all, I don't have to use up processing power thinking about food.
