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 can only comment on Perth. There's a very active Muay Thai scene here - regular shows. Plenty of gyms across the city with Thai trainers. All gyms offer trial classes so you can try a few out before committing . Direct flights to Bangkok and Phuket as well. Would you be coming over on a working holiday visa? Loads of work around Western Australia at the moment. 
    • Not to respond too directly to the above statement, more to just this kind of advisement which is maybe common, but it just shows how far trad Muay Thai development was from today's class centric, out of Thailand (but probably in some parts of Thailand too) is. They are just two very different worlds and practices. Sparring, especially as it seems it was in the Golden Age...was part of foundations. Yes, there was a lot of grueling bag work or shadow boxing, but sparring playfully in space was part of young fighter development. It's not this extreme, but its a bit like saying you shouldn't get on a surf board until you have the fundamentals down for many months. The point was to assemble fundamentals in relationship to others. And, I certainly understand there are huge differences between these worlds, Westerners spar with different intents. It's only to point out that what Thais traditionally achieved was through very different sensibilities over what Muay Thai even was.  It much more than this, I hope to finish an article on how trad Muay Thai is developed as social rite of passage way-of-life development, but at minimum there is a huge difference in concept in how skills should be acquired.

    • Hi, I'm considering moving to Australia from the UK and I'm curious what is the scene like? Is it easy to fight frequently (proam/pro level), especially as a female? How does it compare to the UK? Any gym recommendations? I'll be grateful for any insights.
    • You won't find thai style camps in Europe, because very few people can actually fight full time, especially in muay thai. As a pro you just train at a regular gym, mornings and evenings, sometimes daytime if you don't have a job or one that allows it. Best you can hope for is a gym with pro fighters in it and maybe some structured invite-only fighters classes. Even that is a big ask, most of Europe is gonna be k1 rather than muay thai. A lot of gyms claim to offer muay thai, but in reality only teach kickboxing. I think Sweden has some muay thai gyms and shows, but it seems to be an exception. I'm interested in finding a high-level muay thai gym in Europe myself, I want to go back, but it seems to me that for as long as I want to fight I'm stuck in the UK, unless I switch to k1 or MMA which I don't want to do.
    • Hi all, Does anyone know of any suppliers for blanks (Plain items to design and print a logo on) that are a good quality? Or put me in the right direction? thanks all  
    • The first fight between Poot Lorlek and Posai Sittiboonlert was recently uploaded to youtube. Posai is one of the earliest great Muay Khao fighters and influential to Dieselnoi, but there's very little footage of him. Poot is one of the GOATs and one of Posai's best wins, it's really cool to see how Posai's style looked against another elite fighter.
