[...] For years now I’ve already been in the evolutionary fitness camp. I just didn’t know it. Low-rep compound weight training, hiking and playing games like basketball. High-rep isolation weight training is non-functional nonsense. Steady state aerobics is almost useless and has no place in an evolutionary fitness plan. Movement should be dynamic and unpredictable.

The best argument I ever heard was that muscle takes much more energy to maintain that fat. If you put a steak on your kitchen counter and a bowl of lard, the lard might last for months …the steak only for hours.

I can no longer remember the number of calories required simply to maintain each pound of muscle, but it is fairly high. Each pound of fat requires virtually no calories.

The conclusion then is that whatever will put the most muscle on your frame …both density and size …should also make you the leanest.

I could fill a book answering that question, but the short answer is I focus mostly on the foods highlighted in the book The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. Since I now prepare most of my own foods, the amount of money I spend has dropped while the nutrient quality has increased. A typical day might have 5 meals. I'm still experimenting with portion number, so I have no recommendation at this time.

What do you actually eat? How many portions? How much do you spend on food per day? Curious.
