[Warbaryan]

Are there any athletic people in here who have any dietary advice for warriors?

I've been studying the subject for some years and have found pretty suitable guidelines for my current needs. But I don't think there is just one perfect dietary model... I'm very active physically and equipped with a fast metabolism. I try to measure up my eating with the goal of getting stronger and developing some muscle, yet remaining lean, and having optimal energy level... It all depends very much on individual things.

I've found it to be a good idea to eat moderate meals in about 3 hours' cycles, 5-7 moderate size meals a day, each of them containing protein, slow-digestive carbohydrates and beneficial fats in proper quantities (read into the subject from different sources)... This way you supply yourself with a constant nutritive source of energy and keep your blood sugar steady. It's much better than eating a few meals a day with long pauses in between.

It's also a good idea to drink lots of water and avoid white sugar (i.e. fast carbs).

I, myself, am omnivorous and don't think it's a good idea to stop eating meat (at least not permanently); although it is technically possible to live as a (lacto-ovo-pesco-)vegetarian or even a vegan, there's something energetically unique and maybe necessary in mammal meat that we can't get from other food sources.
