Meal 4
The fourth meal of the day added some convenience for Chris Bumstead. He used sweet potatoes because they can be done in many different ways.
- 200g chicken
- 150g mashed sweet potatoes
- Asparagus
“Just throw a full sweet potato in the oven, pull out all the mash, and put it into Tupperware so it’s easier to eat. Potatoes are one of the harder things to eat because you can cook them in different ways.”
Meal 5
The final meal of the day was the “weird” one for Bumstead that did not consist of many calories.
- Cold chicken
- Pickles
“This might be the part of prep where I start doing weird sh*t. Good crunchy dill pickles, kosher of course, because there’s zero calories and chicken that’s cold. I don’t know why, it just tastes good.”
