Well, I Figure why not throw one of these up. I'm starting my training for my next fight in December, I think it's on the 19th and its going to be at Light Heavy Weight.

General Info
Age:24
Weight:230lbs (as of 9-18-09)
Diet: AWFUL

I work out at numerous gyms my main gym has weights, cardio equipment, and is where i do most of my training.

If anyone has any help they can give me on dieting it would be greatly appreciated. What I did for my first fight probably wasn't the smartest way to diet.

This was my monday-friday food schedule.

Breakfast: Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee with choc. Chip Muffin

Lunch: 6" Veggie Sub on Wheat no cheese little dressing (subway)

Dinner: Couple pieces of chicken/Deli Meat before passing out.

I followed this for 4 weeks to get from 235 to 215. The thursday before the weigh in I ate lunch and that was my last meal until after weighing in. I was at 225 that day, and when i woke up i was at 220, and when i went to cut the last of it i had lost another lb, and only had to cut 4lbs.

I didn't feel weak or anything training while doing it, but i know its not how i should be cutting weight.

Im thinking of starting a log here as well, but what good is it if no one reads it! (Plenty good) Feel free to check mine out when I get it up and running.

Where are you fighting out of? It seems like you have fought before, what is your record? Are you primarily a striker, or a submission guy? GNP?

I fight out of Bridgwater MA, I work my striking a lot, but i consider myself more of a grappler... I'm 1-0 in MMA as an amateur and won VIA TKO do to strikes. not GnP either the guy was still standing leaning aginst the cage eating my punches.

Weight: 231

Warmup: 3 laps around the building then right into 2X3min rounds of shadow boxing

3X3min rounds of Mitt work
3X3min rounds of sparring

15X1min rounds of kickboxing sparring rotating every minute to new partners no rest

then we went over some striking drills for the newer guys, while they drilled i worked on the Thai Bags.

the last half hour we rolled for 1 5min round rotating to new partners.


wasn't the greatest work out i've had but i like working on my striking alot, i feel comfortable on the ground but less comfortable on my feet.

my diet still sucks,

Breakfast:
D&D Iced Coffee and Choc Chip muffin

Lunch: 6" Subway Chicken salad on Wheat with Bacon, Cucumbers, Pickles, Banana Peppers.

Dinner: Chicken Wrap, mexican seasoned chicken with salsa, and ranch dressing...


Getting back on a good diet is awful, I dread it every day.

I didn't get much of warm up due to having to teach the kids MMA class, coach was going to be late and I teach both classes when he's out anyway.

We did King of the Mat drills open mat takedowns, winner stays. then we rolled for 3x5min rounds. then more takedown drills against the cage wall. then more rolling for ever. then the last 15min of class was a circuit, i stayed at one station and everyone rotated through me. i was on my back they had to pass, i had to sweep or submit, the only guys who could pass where the super HWY because i couldn't lock my guard up tight due to the enormity of them.


Diet....still isn't going good..

Breakfast: Iced Coffee Muffin

Lunch: Burger and Beef Stew

Dinner: Chili and Chicken sandwich wrap thing

and i totally had some candy in there too...
