I thought this could be fun and perhaps even helpful for some of us. I know when I'm in camp I tend to fall into a lot of repeat meals, which can be boring.

 

Something I tend to eat a lot of are dark green salads. I'll batch cook some lean poultry on the weekends, either ground or thinly sliced and (most often) seasoned with chili and lime juice. Then each day after my morning session I'll toss some of that over a dark greens mix. I'll slice some avocado as well and mix it in. Right now strawberries are fresh so I've been enjoying aome of those in there too.

 

What are some of your Go To's?

I'm super lazy about meal prep and am a terrible shopper - I'll come home from a trip to the store and realize I have nothing that isn't immediately for the dinner I'm about to make. BUT, if we have to travel I've figured out how to make a pretty big batch of fried rice and I can carry that in a tupperware to eat over the period of a day or two. I try to throw in lots of vegetables and the egg is good protein, I'll throw some raw cashews in just because I like the texture.

The easiest dinner for us lately is a garden salad, which is about as lame as a restaurant's side-salad (just lettuce, tomato and cucumber) and occasionally we'll put some meat on it, like a grilled deal. It requires very little chopping and prep, so I'm usually quite happy with that 4-5 times per week.

If I have to cut weight, which is a rare thing, I'll cut salt out of my diet for the last 3 days and then the difficulty becomes making everything from scratch. So, same salad but no dressing other than lemon juice and maybe some olive oil. No meat, just hard-boiled eggs on top for protein.

    • I am soon to be 17 and I’ve been training Muay Thai for nearly 3 years now. I also happen to be doing quite well in school and plan to go to uni. However, that all changed when I went to Thailand last summer to train for a few weeks and fight. One of the trainers, with whom I have developed a close connection, told me not to go back home and stay in Thailand in order build a career. “You stay, become superstar” to quote him, as he pointed at the portraits of their best fighters hung on the gym’s wall. After realizing he wasn’t joking, I told him I couldn’t stay and had to finish my last year of high school (which is what I am currently doing) but promised him I’d come back the following year once I was done with school. Ever since, both these words and my love for Muay Thai resonate in me, and I can’t get the idea of becoming a professional fighter out of my head. On one hand, I’m afraid I’m being lied to, since me committing to being a fighter obviously means he gets more pay to be my coach. But on the other hand, it is quite a reputable and trustworthy gym, and this trainer in particular is an incredible coach and pad holders since he is currently training multiple rws fighters including one who currently holds an rws belt. And for a little more context, I don’t think this invitation to become a pro came out of nowhere, because during those few weeks I trained extremely hard and stayed consistent, which I guess is what impressed him and motivated him to say those words. Additionally, I was already thinking about the possibility of going pro before the trip because of my love for Muay Thai and because a female boxing champion who has close ties to my local gym told me I had potential and a fighter’s mindset. Therefore, I have to pick between two great opportunities, one being college and a stable future, and the other being a Muay Thai career supported by a great gym and coach. So far, I plan to do a gap year to give myself more time to make a decision and to begin my training in order to give myself an idea of how hard life as a pro is. This is a big decision which I definitely need help with, so some advice would be greatly appreciated.
    • When I've come out to Thailand to train (and holiday!), I've always trained just once a week for the first one. It takes a while for the body to adjust, especially with the heat and/ or humidity, and gives me a chance to recover and explore. After that, it depends on how I feel/ what my goals are. Sometimes I've switched to twice a day, other times I haven't. If you're coming out to fight, you might want to. If it's just to train, improve and enjoy your stay, sometimes twice a day is a slog. Your decision... Chok dee.
