morpheusmeyers Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Taken from www.redskins.com, from BL's training camp journal. The man is eating! Maintaining my weight is probably the hardest thing for me because I'm not a big eater. In the offseason, if I'm traveling or doing something unrelated to football, I probably only eat a couple times a day. Down in Arizona, though, I'd say the main part of my training regimen was eating. I ate six meals per day with the lighter meals later in the day and the heavier meals in the morning. My breakfast would consist of a 16-ounce T-bone steak and 10 egg whites. That would be the meal I'd eat before I'd train. Right after I'd train, I'd eat two chicken breasts and 8-10 egg whites. After that I'd eat fish-maybe 12 ounces of Ahi Tuna, broccoli and a baked potato. My fourth meal would be chicken, broccoli, and a baked potato. My fifth meal would be a lamb chop or rack of lamb. And finally my sixth meal would be fish again. The tough thing about eating like that is if I ate my breakfast too late or if I didn't eat my in-between meals in time, then I'd be up late trying to finish eating. Seriously -- there were a few nights when I'd fall asleep on the couch while trying to catch up with my eating. So that was pretty much the way I was able to get stronger--and thus get bigger. I think my ideal playing weight is 200 pounds. It feels really good. People will look at it and think, "Wow--he went from 185 pounds two years ago to 200 pounds now." They look at that 15 pounds and say, "Wow, he's going to be stiff, he can't run." I think what's been most surprising to people is that I still have all the same flexibility. I'm not tight, I still have all my range of motion and my stride. In fact, I'm actually running a lot better. It's not that I've just gained weight, I've gained muscle and I've gotten stronger. I'm also a lot more explosive than I was. You can see it in my first couple steps off the line of scrimmage after the ball is snapped, and also running after the catch.

Patrick86L Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I think its pretty obvious from training camp photos that he bulked up something vicious during the offseason...I can't wait to see how it translates on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnhay Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Do egg whites make you gain weight? They have a lot of protein to build muscle with, so that'll obviously make you gain weight. Those egg whites by themselves have at least 35 grams of protein per meal. Add in the chicken and steak, he's eating a very high protein diet.

Xameil Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 The egg whites are for protein, and you don't eat the yolk due to the cholesterol. So instead of drinking a protein shake or some of the other supplements people in the gym use, he used egg whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorfan2179 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 6 meals a day when small help lose weight like mad because it keeps your metabolism running high, but hes eating large meals 6 times a day. I noticed very little red meat, a few times a day the rest is very lean mean like fish, He's smart, definatley has a nutritionist, I tried doing a diet similar to this last summer, after each meal I thought the first step would make me blow chunks. I gained 15 lbs of muscle that summer and my cholesterol went through the roof. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Funny how immediately people think "steroids" when a guy gets significantly bigger especially in a short period of time. But, it's very true that a sudden change in diet (high protien/low fat/spread out over 5 or 6 meals) while working out can make a big difference. I hope it helps him. He certainly sounds confident HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorfan2179 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Do egg whites make you gain weight? the yoke is where all the cholesterol is.. I learned that after my cholesterol went nuts. What he is doing is eating carbs and protien, the tbone will put some fat on him, the fish and chicken breasts wont. The carbs are needed for protien synthesis, to gain a lot of muscle u want a 2 to 1 balance of carbs to protien because otherwise the protien has a harder time being absorbed, he also has the timing down well, right after training he eats, smart dude.

Touchdown Redskins Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Wow, he has the greatest job in the world. If I had the money to eat like that, I'd be a happy man. As people have said above, egg whites are essential for gaining muscle fast. Although that many eggs each day is naaaaaaaaaaasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a really good steak doesn't need A-1, but I guess I'm a purist. Have you ever eaten at the original Shula's Steakhouse in Miami? It's the best steak you'll ever have in your life, bar none. Better than all these chains like Morton's or Ruth's Chris. You don't need any steak sauce, and it tastes like love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
