I get the question all the time: “So, what does a regular day of eating look like for you?”—particularly since I went keto. I get asked when I typically start eating and how I schedule my workouts around fasting periods? What do my meals themselves look like? Do I ever snack? Today I’m answering all of these—and sharing more about my own personal approach to ketogenic living.

In fact, I’m laying it all out there. Get a (literal) glimpse of some of my favorite meals and find out why I consider my Big-Ass Salad the basis of my keto eating strategy. I’m sharing one of my favorite snacks and how I negotiate my eating window each day.

But I also talk about the little appreciated principles of a sustainable keto diet—how to do it so you’re enhancing your gut health rather than compromising it, how appetite and cravings self-regulate in the first 1-3 weeks, and why after a thorough reset I’m not fully keto all the time anymore.

I have a lot to say about the lasting impact of a reset experience on metabolic flexibility and protein sparing in the body as well as on the common mistake people make in focusing exclusively on fat intake rather than broad spectrum nutrition.

Finally, I explain why I consider ketones the body’s (too often) untapped superpower—and just how much we naturally produce in a day that we can live and thrive from.

Check it out and share your thoughts. Plus, if you’re interested in more day-in-the-life posts or video, I want to hear it. Let me know what you’d like to see. Have a great week, everyone.

What would some of our favorite comfort food classics looks like if we asked a nutritionist to give them a makeover? In this series of recipes, you see how smart choices around vegetables, meats, and cheese make for a lighter, more nutritious take on everything from mac and cheese to meatloaf without ever compromising the flavor.

This lasagna tastes just like the classic, but it’s packed with extra vegetables. Mushrooms are a nice addition to any meaty mixture because they mimic the texture and give off delicious meaty flavors just like the real thing. Adding a touch of soy sauce to the mushrooms and spinach helps boost the umami flavor even more.

Lunch is the hardest meal to make. Whether you’re trying to get creative with your kid’s lunch box, or are just trying to eat something a little more exciting at the office, there are so many things to consider. Does it travel well? Will it stink up the office kitchen? Will it be filling enough? Is it exiting enough that I want to eat it, but not too complicated to make in bulk on a Sunday?

This year I finally set about tackling my food budget and I decided it was essential that I bring lunch to work every day. No more pricey salads. I’ve played around with a variety of different recipes over the last several months, and have finally found what I think is the mecca of office lunches, and I’m so excited to share it with you today.

Parents, we need to have a talk. I’ve been involved in athletics for over 30 years now, and have noticed over the last few years that we have a very big problem.

It’s you.

We need to look in the mirror and take inventory of what we are doing, or not doing, for our kids. As a father of three young athletes all under the age of 10, I am on the front lines of the issue. Additionally, as a college strength coach, I am the recipient of the adult versions of these kids.
