What does 44 year old World Champion Tim Lane eat?

This is how I eat “in season” when I am training a couple times per day.

 

My name is Tim Lane.  I am a former kickboxing world champion that went many years without a loss.  When I was young, I felt like I could literally walk through a wall.  I didn’t take care of myself and then one day I just couldn’t train as hard as I once did.  As I became older, I found that it was really necessary to eat a certain way to be able to look and perform the way I do.

 

 

I get this question all the time, “What do you eat to look like that and how do you have so much energy”

The answer is pretty easy because I eat very close to the same thing everyday. I just make some rotations in the veggies I eat to keep it interesting.
I am also very active with training and teaching so I burn a lot of calories daily.  I am regularly on the move for 12 hours per day.  A regular person can probably drop 1-2 meals depending on their activity levels.  Most people do not need to eat the post workout meals.

I starting doing the superfood smoothies once Dr. John Fitzgerald became my personal doctor many years ago and I pretty much always have 2 servings of smoothies per day. They make a huge difference on how I feel and look.

This is generally what I eat on a daily basis:
-Breakfast is a 12 ounce Superfood Smoothie. I also have 4 eggs and toast or oatmeal.
-Post workout meal is another 12 ounce Superfood Smoothie. I also have a mixture of a carb source, mixed vegetables and beans.
-Lunch is a salad or a pita with toppings.
-Dinner is usually a bean burger, quinoa and mixed vegetables. A few days per week I like to have fish in place of the bean burger.
-Post work is a mixed salad.
