Bacon, cheese, and chili-burger. |
Magically Delicious Frito Pie @ The McDonald Obersavatory |
I highly recommend Laura the nutritionist. She keeps winning awards for being a top nutritionist in Austin, I thought she was full of good advice. Unfortunately, much of that advice seemed to frown upon my love of bacon, cheese, and red meat all on the same plate. My love of chili-cheese enhancements also seemed to run counter to her advice. And, since most "Floyd Style" recommendations consisted of replacing vegetables with bacon, mayo, queso, and/or chili, my use of said recommendations has been thrown into a quandary: i.e. there is no healthy version of "Floyd Style" and the old version appeared to be charting a course for an early grave (ok, that's overly dramatic, but it was causing me to hurl and/or run out of energy when trying to really push myself on one of my bikes). Thus, you now see the reason for the suspension of the use of the term as it has traditionally been applied.
But, there is an upside. It turns out that amping up the fruits, lean proteins, and healthy carbs has indeed resulted in me having an abundance of energy (which is what I've been looking for in order to fuel endurance for business and working out). And, what's really nice about my new food scheme is that it involves eating all day. The downside is that my monthly grocery trips have turned into weekly (or more) frequent errands. Moreover, the late night trips to HEB have been replaced with trips to Whole Foods (which is much closer, but not open at crowd avoidance hours).
