"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.

This page of my blog is dedicated to articles reviewing diet books, warrior worthy food ideas, and my ideas on diet.

Day 11- "Heaven, I'm in Heaven"

I picked up my girlfriend as soon as I was done with work and we went to Chipotle. I swear they put crack in their steak... beside the point ^_^ I always get the crunchy taco's because I don't like the burritos. Instead of ordering 3 taco's like I normally do, I ordered six steak taco's with sour cream and cheese! I ate every last bite, and still wasn't full... so I got a bag of chips (the taco's are expensive, and chips are only 70 cents ^_^) I ate the entire thing. I wasn't feeling stuffed when I left, but very.... "happy on the inside" thats the only way I can describe it. :D When I was going home I stopped and grabbed one of those Hershey's Select dark chocolate bars. Over the next few hours I just slowly worked on it, and ate the whole thing, very good stuff.

Oh, and here's the nutritional stuff on my chipotle:

82 grams of protein
1800 calories
60 grams of fat
10 grams of fiber
8 grams of sugar
103 grams of carbs

and my chocolate bar....


3 grams of protein
460 calories
30 grams of fat
8 grams of fiber
26 grams of sugar
42 grams of carbs

want to know the best part? well you have to wait until I have time to post for the next day ^_-
