"What does a warrior eat?". That may sound a bit silly in this time and age, but the question still applies. Nowadays when people think "warrior" they probably think of athletic icons, people they see on television, the gym rat who is always at the gym, and a whole slew of other images of "warrior" that bombard us each and every day. While it may be true that those people are at the peak of athletic excellence, they are often the most un-healthy people out there. Between all the chemicals they put into their bodies, and the nutritionally shallow foods most of them eat, they are really not the ones we should look to for a model of how a warrior eats.

A warrior only eats things that are natural, whole, and nutrient dense. Lots of fruits and vegetables, plenty of plant based fats and protein, moderate amounts of lean animal protein, and water. In short, a warrior only eats things that will help him to be more healthy, and not things that will passively kill him.

Day 2- Lunchtime

It's already lunchtime. So far I'm not feeling too hungry or anything.

I had a training class that went from 9 until 1, and just took a bottle of water in with me. When I got back to my desk my stomach was gurgling, not pain, just gurgle. I grabbed a carrot out of the fridge, and munched on a few raspberries followed with some water. Now I feel completely fine, so far no headache, so thats a good thing. My plan for my three o'clock break is eating an orange, that should hold me over until i get dinner.

a side note: when I'd eaten the carrot it had a very noticeable "sweet" flavor to it... with a sort of earthy overtone. I don't know if its because the only other thing I've eaten today is a banana or not, but it seems like its easier to notice simple flavors.
