Give us a brief description of your philosophy on your diet, pre contest and during the off season:

Jonathan and I make our own diets and we like to have variety when we eat so every day I changed it up and made another diet during my competition. This is an example of a day when I am preparing for a competition. Sometimes I put my calories even lower, it depends on the day.

• 30 grams ACP Diet Fit Shake + 1x ACP omega 3 softgel + 1x Special Two Now and T+

Do you weigh all your food and track the numbers when it comes to calories of everything you eat? Do you think it is necessary?

Yes I do especially before a competition because it’s all about portion size to get in shape and eat the right things. When I count my calories I can see exactly how much fat, protein and carbs I take in per day. This way I can get in shape fast. It’s like maths don’t you think
