For me, maintenance means working out daily for 2 hours and eating roughly 1300 to 1600 calories a day - I feel good, energetic & healthy - I eat no packaged & processed foods & I avoid carbs at ALL COSTS except for non-starchy vegetables. A Daily Eating Routine For Me Looks Something Like This:

- Lunch (I do not eat breakfast - don't start, ha ha!): Roughly 13 ounces of free-ranged meat OR (on the weekends) 2 cups of egg whites & some rice bran mixed in (pancake like) 

- Dinner: Roughly 10 ounces of lean protein like chicken, fish (salmon & chilean sea bass & sashimi are my favorites) or free-ranged meat with TONS of either steamed, sauteed (in olive oil), baked, broiled or grilled vegetables & salad 

- I do not snack during the day but I do drink black coffee & chew sugar-free orbit gum 

What kind of work out can you do for 2 hours with that kind of diet, in terms of carbs and total calories?!?

UMNEY-i dont think GIA's workout or diet is anything to strive for, in my opinion...

Oh yes, I completely agree. I was just a bit shocked.

Whao thats different! Agreed...
