Hey guys, I'm starting a food log to keep track of what I eat so I can look over it and see where I went wrong, right and where I could improve. I train about 2-3 times a day at BTT-Canada so I have a strong background with a strong team. I'm 19 years old, 160 pounds and 5'9. If you have any suggestions please feel free to post and let me know what you're thinking. Here we go...

Any way you might consider cutting out the soda?

I think it's awesome that you're keeping a food log. It seems that you're not eating a lot of calories throughout the day (and you drink a ridiculous amount of diet soda).

Here's the food journal I use for my clients (depending on the person I have them log just food or food and calories per meal). Cheat meal is any crappy food that you eat e.g. cheeseburger and milkshake.

Meal 1:
Meal 2:
Meal 3:
Meal 4:
Meal 5:
Meal 6:
Cheat Meal:
Cheat Meal:
Liters of water:
Notes:

Also you might want to take into account some kind of food intake during your training. There's an article by John Berardi that goes over this.

I"ll try cutting down on the diet soda and replace it with water, any reason why
though? By the way I drink water throughoput the day but I'm not keeping record of it, I also take a multivitamin when I wake up and ZMA before I go to bed.

holy shit you drink alot of soda lol. Limit yourself to one soda a week if you can. Preferrably no soda.

You should be eating more lean meats such as chicken and fish. Also, don't eat white bread. Eat flax seed bread, or whole wheat bread instead. You also need to eat more fruit, and more greens.

All the soda I drink is diet, what's wrong with that? I also thought I was having a lot of lean meat and greens. I ain't trying to cut weight but stay at the same weight so when I lift I gain muscle without the bulk.

Diet soda still has alot of crap in it, but if you can handle it, I guess you can keep doing it. I still think you shoudl try quitting it for a while and see if you notice any results.
