When preparing for the Mr. Olympia my diet consists of lots of different food combinations. However, on any given day, I chose what I want and how much of it I want to eat. My diet is "Instinctive" meaning, I don't count calories, weigh my food, nor do I arrange carbs to protein % and all that scientific stuff. I go by the mirror and by common sense as to what my body needs or what foods I prefer. This makes dieting much more tolerable and less of monotonous. I use the mirror instead of the scale because what I see is in the mirror is what the judges will see onstage. The mirror is my measure of progress because it will not lie to me and I cannot hide my weak points. Covered in sweats head to toe, it is easy to believe you're ripped and ready at a certain body weight but you cant flex fat and the judges don't ask your weight on stage.
