What would a good diet be for a fighter(not during camp)

To keep as lean as possible, but still have a ton of energy for all the training?

not much different than a regular Joe Shmoe...whole foods, tons of non-starchy veggies, protein, nuts, seeds, healthy fats (EVOO, coconut, avocado), and depending on the physical demands; carbohydrates in the forms of starchy veggies and perhaps some quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth.

Could you give some samples of what you eat on a daily basis?

Im sick of eating like a slob... Im not overweight, and have a lower body fat% but could get it down a little. If I didnt do so much, I would probably be a fat slob...

I do boxing, muay thai, running, and weightlifting throughout the week

thank for the help.

Clean bro. Lots of Protein and carbs to keep up your energy.

Rampage, have you had any of your fights yet? How is that going?

As for dieting I have been trying to do that reward day thing (dan c was talking about it in a thread). Eat good for 6 days and then drink and eat like I used to on the 7th.

Sounds like a good idea.. You got to have some good food with your Beer right?

I have already done boxing and MT... I really need to step up my grappling game... BJJ is decent, but really need to step up wrestling...

I wish i could learn it from the ground up, rather than in bits and pieces like MMA gyms will do it, but cant go back in time and take it in school.

Horse meat or hot dogs (lips and assholes according to Dan Akeroid).

Of course I have no idea. A decent source of Protein (I think) is beef jerky.
