How much time do you spend eating, cooking and working outt?
04-08-2018, 12:10 PM
I'm interested how the time I spend compares with other members.
Me:
* Cooking and eating: 2 hours per day - 3000kcal - I'm a slow eater and make most meals myself
* Gym: 3-4 hours per week
* Getting to the gym: 25 min per visit
* Tracking stuff: 10-15 mins per day
So total: ~ 20 hours per week.

I probably spend 1.5 hours cooking in the evening. I’m eating ~3700 calories a day but have been relying on a couple protein shakes with milk and olive oil for about 1400 of that, so it cuts down on cooking.
About 7 hours in the gym a week, as I’m usually there between 1 and 1.5 hours at a time.
Getting to the gym: I work on a military installation and go straight to the gym after work, so that doesn’t add any time for me.
17-18 hours/week total. And all it took was cutting out video games to make time, and cutting down on alcohol to pay for supplements.

I don’t cook (my wife does) I eat lunch at my desk and I have a home gym. I usually have dinner with my family in 20 minutes.
Hence: 3 hours eating, 4 hours working out, total 7 hours per week
That doesn’t include social or business meals or lunch dates.

Workout - everyday...at least 30min, usually 45-1hr
Cooking - breakfast everday, lunch/dinner only on weekends. I eat out during the week (live in nyc hard not too)

I workout 5 days a week just under 1hr per day.
About 80% of the food i eat for the week is prepared on Sunday afternoon. It's about 3-4hrs depending on what i make but its always 3 meals around 600 calories each.
I blend the majority of my meals because I'm a very very slow eater and had serious issues in the past choking on my food.
I have a home gym in my basement so there's about 30 seconds travel time.
i'd say 15hrs per week to this stuff.

My wife does all the grocery shopping, the vast majority of the cooking and all the food prep, so zero time for me there.
I lift three times a week, and knock that out in about 45-50 minutes per session. My gym is in my condo's spare room, so no travel time there. That's about 2.5 hours.
I also hit the heavy bag once or twice a week, depending on how busy I am, for 30 minutes per session. The bag is in my condo complex's tiny "gym" and is maybe a 10 second walk from my front door. That's 1 hour.
I track my lifts as I do them, on spreadsheets I print out and tape to the mirror in my lifting room, so that's rolled into my workouts and might take five minutes a week total.
Throw in changing clothes and post-workout showers, and I'm still only at about 4 hours a week on fitness. I'm a pretty quick eater and spend little time on that, maybe another hour a day tops. That puts me at 11 hours total.

GYM 4X/week - 4 hours total
Boxing 2X week - 2 hours total
I always choose a gym nearby (less than 2 miles from home) to not waste time. And I go early in the morning to get it done.
Prep Meals - eat outside everyday. At home I cook something fast and good (nutrition wise). On a date I cook something very elaborate.

1-3 hours a week doing batch cooking and about 4-6 hours a week in the gym.
I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

My fitness addiction saves me 15-20 hours a week of unproductive, useless activity.

I exercise every single day (weights 6, run 1). For me, maintaining a daily habit is FAR easier than doing a MWF thing, even if this means that my programming is sub-optimal from a recovery standpoint. The gym is close so I don't lose much time going there and I shower there instead of at home.
GYM: 30 minutes daily.
FOOD PREP: 30 minutes daily. Wash dishes as I go. I eat the same thing almost every day. I never get bored of this, and it simplifies cooking and shopping as well.
EATING: No idea. I just eat, taking my time, relaxing, watching a video.

Eating wise, I try to cut down on that as much as possible. Lately this has involved a crockpot and a rice cooker.
Lifting wise, I try to cram as much as able in a week. One day a week for sure, but usually two, I try to do a 3-4 hour long workout (days off from work) and the rest of the time I squeeze in 20-40 minute workouts. If I feel too hammered I go light with some barbell complexes or band shit to make my shoulders feel better.
So I'd say 12 hours a week for all of it, maybe 15.

Quite frankly I spent way too much time on fitness. I need to figure out a way to make it more efficient by batch cooking, etc.

4-5 hours a week lifting.
6-8 hours cooking. I don't meal prep(other than being leftovers to the office if I have any left). Cooking is enjoyable for me.
Also, I go to the grocery store or farmers market everyday because I like fresh food. Grocery store is only 5 minutes away by foot from my crib.
