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.

    • 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.
    • Yeah, this is certainly possible. Thanks! I just like the idea of a training camp pre-fight because of focus and getting more "locked in".. Do you know of any high level gyms in europe you would recommend? 
    • You could just pick a high-level gym in a European city, just live and train there for however long you want (a month?). Lots of gyms have morning and evening classes.
    • Hi, i have a general question concerning Muay-Thai training camps, are there any serious ones in Europe at all? I know there are some for kickboxing in the Netherlands, but that's not interesting to me or what i aim for. I have found some regarding Muay-Thai in google searches, but what iv'e found seem to be only "retreats" with Muay-Thai on a level compareable to fitness-boxing, yoga or mindfullness.. So what i look for, but can't seem to find anywhere, are camps similar to those in Thailand. Grueling, high-intensity workouts with trainers who have actually fought and don't just do this as a hobby/fitness regime. A place where you can actually grow, improve technique and build strength and gas-tank with high intensity, not a vacation... No hate whatsoever to those who do fitness-boxing and attend retreats like these, i just find it VERY ODD that there ain't any training camps like those in Thailand out there, or perhaps i haven't looked good enough?..  Appericiate all responses, thank you! 
    • In my experience, 1 pair of gloves is fine (14oz in my case, so I can spar safely), just air them out between training (bag gloves definitely not necessary). Shinguards are a good idea, though gyms will always have them and lend them out- just more hygienic to have your own.  2 pairs of wraps, 2 shorts (I like the lightweight Raja ones for the heat), 1 pair of good road running trainers. Good gumshield and groin-protector, naturally. Every time I finish training, I bring everything into the shower (not gloves or shinnies, obviously) with me to clean off the (bucketsfull in my case) of sweat, but things dry off quickly here outside of the monsoon season.  One thing I have found I like is smallish, cotton briefs for training (less cloth, therefore sweaty wetness than boxers, etc.- bring underwear from home- decent, cotton stuff is strangely expensive here). Don't weigh yourself down too much. You might want to buy shorts or vests from the gym(s) as (useful) souvenirs. I recommend Action Zone and Keelapan, next door, in Bangkok (good selection and prices):  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Action+Zone/@13.7474264,100.5206774,17z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!2sAction+Zone!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2!3m5!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
