Im good thanks bro, im rarely on the site these days and am busy with my studies.
Diet is an important part of a fighters lifestyle, as the old cliche says you are what you eat, which remains true to the core.
I personally believe that an individual shouldnt be too harsh on what they eat as a diet then becomes too hard to keep up. I eat ''healthy'' 6 days a week with one day off where i let myself go a little bit (also known as a ''cheat day'' by many).
Basically I dont do anything special, just eat a lot of fruit and veg, drink plenty of water, stay away from processed foods as much as I can and try not to eat things containing a lot of saturated fat.
A lot problems come to people trying to meet certain weights, again, off season people can afford to let themselves go a bit more but the fundamentals should really remain the same. During boxing season a lot of care must be put on staying close to fighting weight, a lot of people put themselves under too much pressure in training, or the opposite, put too much pressure in their diet, a balance should be maintained between the 2 in order to maintain the right weight, as long as you eat healthy and do your roadwork you should be okay.
Hope it answers your question,
Take care,
