The boxing diet

Interesting to see how a boxer would eat in order to cut weight before a fight.
This link actually has a workout routine mixed in with the diet, so you can get an idea of how many calories the trainee is burning compared with the food intake.
Leave off the training, and you have a diet that will not lose you any weight. I did some rough calculations, and it looks like you’d be eating about 2267cal, 34g fat, 360g protein, 80g carbs each day.
Also, is it just me, or are we working ourselves a little too hard by going to bed at 2am every night?

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
