Comp Season Condiments

Over the last year and a half since I began following a comp diet, I've discovered how incredibly essential a good condiment is. When you eat egg whites, chicken breasts, tilapia, and flank steak over and over and over again, you must get creative without causing problems to your changing physique. Here are my fav condiments:

1. Spicy Brown Mustard
2. Jalapeno Mustard
3. Yellow Mustard (heck, any kind of mustard, except the mustard with added sugar, mayo, etc.)
4. Good strong black pepper (I'm loving the Worchestshire flavor of this McCormick brand; great on the flank steak.)
5. Jalapeno peppers (I top all my salads with these lil gems)
6. Banana peppers (also great in salads)
7. Spray butter (some competitors cut this out, but spray butter does not affect my physique one bit; still, I keep it to a minimum)
8. Pico de gallo (onions, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro; some of the store brands are loaded with sodium, so I like to buy the freshly made kind or make it myself)
9. Splenda (couldn't live without it; maybe someday I'll go totally clean and eliminate it, but while in comp prep, there's no way I'm throwing out my Splenda.)
10. Cinnamon (I sprinkle this on my oatmeal, on my sweet potatoes, and occasionally in my coffee)


Great condiments, even for a non-competitor. Ditch the sugar laden ketchup and BBQ sauces and get creative. It really works!!
