Sam Sulek’s Full Day of Eating
Meal 1
The first meal of the day for Sam Sulek had enough carbs to provide energy for a workout. He hit the gym after this meal, which consisted of around 250 calories.
- 2.5oz Ground Beef
- 2 Rice Cakes
- Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce
- Sugar-Free Jam
“Not a lot of food, that was just so I’d have a little something in my stomach before training.”
Meal 2
Sulek puts together a post-workout meal, which also consists of carbs. He claims that he “doesn’t understand the hate” that carbs get while dieting.
- 8oz Ground Beef
- 2 packs Peach Oatmeal
- Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce
“You’re probably safer overestimating the amount of fats that are in it versus underestimating. That’s going to lead to you overeating.”
Meal 3
Sulek’s next meal consists of a staple that he has been doing recently. Aside from white rice, he has found it beneficial to add crushed rice cakes into his mixture.
- 10oz Ground Beef
- 4 Rice Cakes
- Garlic Powder
- Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce
“This is a meal where I’ve mixed the carb component into the protein…I just crushed up four plain salted rice cakes and stirred that up into everything.”
Meal 4
Sam Sulek features oatmeal into his fourth meal once again. He used a different protein source but has kept the carbs pretty consistent throughout the day.
- 11oz Turkey Breast
- 2 Rice Cakes
- 2 packs Blueberry Oatmeal
- Sugar-Free Barbecue Sauce
- Sugar-Free Jam
“I’m always consistent but my most plain dieting phase of what I’ve done. Instead of checking the system, getting all the low-carb, super-high fiber stuff, just kind of sticking to the basics.”
Meal 5
The final meal of the day was very simple. He shared that if he is not seeing a change in his weight, he either eats less or adds cardio.
- 5 Caramel Rice Cakes
“If the scale isn’t changing, I’ve got to change the routine. I can either do more cardio, eat less food. I’m trying not to overdo it on cardio.”
