This is how I order at a restaurant. Every time. · Build the Man by Jason Watson

This is how I order at a restaurant. Every time.

No menu debate. No convincing myself that one bad meal is fine because I trained hard this week. No cheat day negotiation.

Protein. Vegetables. Water. Done.

I do not eat clean because I am trying to look a certain way. I eat clean because the standard I hold at the table is the same standard I hold everywhere else. What I put in my body is a decision. Every decision either reflects my standard or erodes it. There is no neutral.

Most men make their worst decisions around food when they are in a social setting. The environment changes and suddenly the standard becomes negotiable. This is where discipline actually gets built - not in the gym when you are motivated, but at the restaurant table when nobody would notice if you ordered differently.

I am 50 years old and operating at the highest physical level of my life. What I just ordered is part of why.

What does your order say about your standard?
