Seth Leavitt finds that counting his calories helps him keep the spare tire off his midriff, and works hard to make sure that the calories he does eat are filling enough to keep him from being hungry. His day starts with a protein shake; he adds two scoops of chocolate whey protein, one cup of whole milk, a spoonful of almond butter, some flax seed, and a banana; and blends it up into 700 calories of filling goodness. For lunch, he eats grilled chicken and cooked vegetables tossed in various sauces. A pre-workout snack consists of yogurt and an apple, followed by a smaller protein shake after exercise. For dinner, he fills his plate with 50% vegetables, 25% meat, and 25% carbohydrates. He doesn't eat anything until breakfast the next morning. His drinking is either coffee or water.
To workout, Seth starts with stretching and 30 minutes on a rowing machine. He then does 30 minutes of lifting, consisting entirely of four barbell lifts: military press, bench press, squats, and deadlifts.
He's strict about his diet and exercise, but has found ways to make them quick and enjoyable, which has kept him in such great shape with minimal effort on his part. (202 words)
