k, so i started a very physically demanding job. i work about 12 hours a day, and im thinking of tryin to squeeze a couple more hours of work into the day. (it pays good). i can take breaks whenever i need to, but i lose money whenever im not working. this is my 2nd season on the job. it lasts about 2 more months.
anyways, this time around, i am staying completly off the energy drinks. i got myself a small carry cooler, and bring food etc. i got the whey protien powder stuff from walmart, im sure there are better brands but im a rookie. i do that mixed with 2% milk in the am. i was drinking like about 20 oz or so of that in the morning cause im getting used to drinking milk again, i might double that. i have a bagel with cream cheese and apple slices for breakfast after that. i bring a couple hard boiled eggs to snack on. i bring a sandwhich, like turkey and cheese with tomato on wheat. then a banana. grapes for a refreshing energy snack late in the day. once i get home i have a regular dinner, but too big.
i would like to have extra energy throughout the day, and maybe some more mental focus later in the day when i start to wear out.
sooo..
i was thinking of getting a juicer blender thing, and adding banana to my morning drink maybe pop a vitamin in it. im wondering what else would go well in there. what other foods should i bring? i feel like i got too much fruit and not enough meats. :shrug:
btw, i am about 5'11 or 6'0 probably 155 lbs. i dont need to lose weight. i wouldnt mind trading 5 or so pounds of fat for muscle, but im not worried about that. just want to have energy and keep feeling healthy.
