Does Adam Ondra eat at all?Hard to say Bob. It depends on reasonable for what? (Goals again!)
One persons meat is another's poison.
A reasonable diet for Eddie Hall would not be reasonable for Adam Ondra. A reasonable diet for Chris Froome, would not be reasonable for your grandmother.
For a person who has no designs on fitness or health a reasonable diet would be vastly different than what you or I would probably think. And there is naught wrong with that.
And there are always 'stories' of people achieving quite extraordinary physical activities and longevity on what appears to be pretty atrocious diets.
At the end of the day....
@Neuro-Bob
I think basically the same what @offwidth said.
I say there are points you can check and see wether your diet is right for you:
- sleep (recreatinial, feeling recovered in the morning)
- digestion (regular, no obstipation or the opposite)
- hunger (according to activity level, sometimes more sometimes less, no regular binges)
- weight (remaining stable, no matter if you eat more or less for some time -> settling point)
- skin (smooth, no acne, not itchy)
- eyes (shiny and white, not yellowish -> liver!!)
I like a more holistic approach when it comes to nutrition. I like experimenting with low carb for some time, vegan for some weeks, or else. There is always sth I keep for longer periods of time and which becomes a habit. I think it is not the right way to say 'always...' or 'never...'.
It not the people who fail, diet is.
