The Average Teenage Diet
Written on October 15, 2007 at 10:18 am, by Eric Cressey
A few people found it hard to believe that the “average” teenage diet I outlined in my interview at T-Nation yesterday could actually be so bad. Don’t believe me? A 17-year-old wanting to play Division-1 college baseball just brought this two-day diet record in for me:
Monday
7:00AM – Cheerios Crunch, Skim Milk
7:30AM – Energy Drink
11:00AM – 3 Double Chocolate Cookies, Skim Milk, Pasta w/White Sauce and Chicken
4:00PM – Sub w/ Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Mozzarella Cheese, and Red Sauce, Coke, Cookies
6:00PM – Sprite
8:00PM – Orange Soda
9:00PM – Buffalo chicken and ham calzone with blue cheese
10:30PM – Gatorade
Tuesday
7:00AM – Cheerios Crunch, Skim Milk
7:30AM – Energy Drink
11:00AM – 3 Double Chocolate Cookies, Crispy Fried Chicken
12:00PM – Gatorade
3:45PM – Medium Iced Coffee, 2 Doughnuts
7:00PM – Popcorn, Candy, Soda
8:00PM – Grilled Chicken, Gatorade
10:30PM – Gatorade
The scariest part is that neither of these were training days. He also has numerous chronic injuries (elbow) that just don’t seem to be getting better.
Not exactly Precision Nutrition material, huh?
