"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- Overeating

well, it turns out I didn't eat the orange like I'd planed, I just wasn't hungry. I was still feeling good, when I went home and sat on the chair (usually I fall asleep as soon as I hit the chair) I was wide awake... my body was a little tired, but my mind was fully alert.

for the overeating part of my day I went to Wendys... Ori would hate me for eating out two days in a row, but you have to realize, I have no kitchen... I have a toaster oven at work, thats it. so lets just say I'm exploring his diet from a more "American" perspective ^_- anyways I don't think I did two bad at Wendys, I had a grilled chicken sandwich, large chili, baked potato (with sour cream), and an unsweetened iced tea (nice to have something other than water). After my "feast" I went to Starbucks and got a cup of regular coffee. About two hours later I grabbed a bag of apple chips from Kroger, and pretty much ate the whole thing. immediately after eating the apple chips I felt kind of "blah" I'm going to miss my high sugar snacks T_T all well, I feel better when I cut back on that stuff.

one thing to note for yesterday was during the day I had just about 160 calories. banana, coffee, carrot, raspberries, and water.

my dinner was about 970 calories (I was stuffed when I was done) and my apple chips were maybe another 3 or 4 hundred (I felt bad if I would have only had 1200 or so calories in a day)
