What Did You Last Eat Thread

Like feeding a bloody ox, mate!
Imagine having to get up 3 or 4 hours into a nights sleep, trough a load of quark and powdered oats, then try and go back to bed. He doesn't mention booze. He also doesn't go into how much water he gets through a day. Nor rolls of Andrex for that matter.
For comparison sake, arctic explorers consume ~7.5k calories a day, but they do so to keep their body temp up and fuel the arduous trek through the ice fields. That's the thing about -40c in the warmest part of the day, the cold is always sapping, this guy is going out for pizza and chucking iron about. Wonder what his cardio requirement is.

This must be when he's going through a 'bulking' phase. Up the calories, with intense weight training and low intensity cardio training, with minimal high intensity cardio.

Then I'd imagine when he's going through a 'cutting' phase, drop the calories, less weight training, and maximise the high intensive cardio training? 🤔
 
Mrs wanted to make ‘protein bowl’ she saw online somewhere…..
Seasoned 5% fat minced beef
Air fried sweet potato cubes
½ diced avocado
Some cottage cheese (piatnika brand)
Drizzle of hot honey & Siracha over the lot.

Have to say I was suprised how tasty it was.

Don’t recall ever having cottage cheese before but that piatnika brand was lovely. Think it’s a bit different to the British stuff, had like little pearls of curds.
 

Back to one of my favorite rituals... Chinese hot pot. The table fills with warmth, steam, and a quiet sense of occasion as the broth bubbles away. Tonight’s spread was a comforting mix of beef, lamb, seafood, and crisp vegetables, all taking their turn in the pot before finding their way to our bowls. That’s my dear wife in the photo, though the framing rather unfairly leaves her without a head (only in the photo, of course). The picture captures dinner as it was: simple, generous, and wonderfully communal.

Update:

It’s 7am and I’ve just sat bolt upright, seized by a clarity no alarm clock could summon. The hot pot - glorious, infernal - has completed its slow negotiation through my body and now demands release. I make my way to the bathroom, where the world narrows to white tiles.

Time stretches. The air hums faintly with the quiet dignity of suffering. Every decision that led to that final ladle of spicy broth now plays back in vivid colour - the laughter, the bravado, the reckless faith in my own resilience. I am, in this moment, both the architect and the ruins.
