My Diet

I would like to believe I have a simple diet but that is not the case. I consume between 1500 and 2000 calories at day, which is about normal for someone of my height and activity level. I have very specific dietary needs. I do not eat fried foods or foods that are high in fat. The exception to this is cheese and nuts. I will that food product in moderation.

I believe in eating a balanced diet of fruit, vegetables, meats, and grains. I eat fruit every morning with breakfast and I have different things with it. Sometimes I will have toast, cottage cheese, and etc. My Master does like to have bacon and sausage in the morning. We use turkey bacon and sausage. It is lower in fat and cholesterol.

Because of the medication I am on I also have an eating schedule. I can eat every 4 to 6 hours. It does regulate meal time and my Master understands to my needs. My family has my varying opinions on it they tend to get irritated. When it is within the window of time that I can eat I have to eat and I cannot eat early and if wait outside of the window it will mess up my whole day. I will feel terrible.

An idea of a typical day of meals in life is as follows.

Breakfast: cottage cheese and grapes with water. (After arriving at work I tend to have a soda to help wake up.)

Lunch: Grilled chicken and raw carrots with a soda.

Dinner: Shrimp, peas, and couscous.

I do not typically have a snack during the day in less I have a heavy workout in the evening. Then I will eat a cereal bar before I work out.
