My current diet is pretty good. I just need to restart my workout schedule.
adding a workout will kick your diet into overdrive.

I start the morning with a green shake of spinach, bananas, green apples, carrots, blueberries, nuts, and a little protein.
I eat yogurt when I get to work a couple hours later.
I eat an early "lunch" salad: spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, and Mexican Villa hot sauce with a small salmon filet.
I have more yogurt and/or kashi cereal with skim milk in the afternoon.
My wife likes to be in control of dinner but she's pretty good about planning it. We usually have chicken breasts or thinly sliced steaks with quinoa and perhaps some fresh veggies or fruit.
I eat this food every damn day and I love it! A long time ago I reached a point where I truly enjoy eating healthy. Crap food isn't even appetizing anymore
sounds like you've got a good setup. it's all about a healthy lifestyle, not diets. just eating healthy every chance you get helps a lot. but then you throw in whatever workout routine you can and you'll be hitting your goals on no time.

It sucks this thread got anchored. It may have been my fault. I just want you to know that you look great and it's incredible the progress (and gains 
) you've made.
I've been working out 6 days a week for the last two years and I look great, but I wish I were bigger. I'm beginning to think I have a tapeworm or something.

Hawg,
I'm interested in what your workouts look like. Exercises, rest periods, etc. I'm guessing you are doing small rest periods and that is counting as cardio on weight days. Something along those lines?

there's more info in that thread killz linked in the OP
but my sets in the gym are generally 8 reps, 6 reps, 4 reps, 2 reps, then burn out with 20 reps. with one minute rests between sets. do my sets like that so I get the heavy weight to build muscle and the light weight to burn calories. If I change my sets at all it's to burn out at the end of my workout with sets of high reps to get a good pump before I leave.
I also run a 7:30 min pace mile on the treadmill prior to lifting to warm up. And I try to stay no longer than an hour in the gym, however sometimes it gets to 2 hours.

I'm not a fan of a lot of the crossfit exercises. most of them are too hard on your joints. crossfit in theory is really good. the workout routine I designed that kills copy and pasted is a lot like cross fit. only it doesn't have many of the traditional crossfit exercises that are hard on your joints .
How is running 16 miles a week not hard on your joints? I guess you could argue a box jump is harder on your joins if you are doing a quick rebound but most of the movements in crossfit are standard barbell movements.
Nice work and all but not sure where the notion of "achieving physical fitness without crossfit is impossible" came from. Any idiot could tell you diet and exercise will give anybody results.
