Recipes: 1 Rep Power: 50 | Not sure if this is even the right forum but I decided to start a nutrition log. I figure that if I'm obligated to show everyone on IM what I eat everyday I'll be more inclined to eat right to avoid criticism. So do me a favor and if I'm ****ing up, LET ME KNOW.Here's my meal plan, starting tomorrow: - - - Meal 1: 2 slices whole grain bread 2 scoops whey Meal 2: 1 slice whole wheat bread 5 oz chicken breast Pre Workout: 155g whole wheat pasta 25g Ragu 2 tbsp. Gatorade powder in water Post Workout: 2 scoops whey .5 cup maltodextrin Meal 5: 4 eggs, 4 egg whites, scrambled Meal 6: 4 oz. steak Salad 18 almonds Pre-Bed: 2 scoop MPI Omega 3's Totals Cals: 2429 Protein: 286g (49%) Carbs: 179g (28%) Fat: 59g (23%) - - - The order of my pre workout and post workout meals are subject to change, as they rely on the time of day I workout. I'll be sure to leave a few hours between the PWO meal's insulin spike and me going to sleep, though. Also, I don't yet have milk protein isolate but I ordered 5 lbs today. Any thoughts on what I could replace it with until the MPI comes? I've bought a lunch box and cooked a full week's worth of food today, which I believe will keep me in check. I don't have an excuse to be lazy and not cook my meals because they're already cooked and ready to eat. I will be lean. My current weight and BF% are unknown right now. I will measure them both upon waking tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Recipes: 1 Rep Power: 50 | Ok, here are the starting stats (BF% based off of Omron HBF-306): Weight: 196 Bf%: 21% I think this is slightly off. A lot of the weight is water from creatine mono. I don't think it'd be too far off to say that I'm about 18% though. First day going good, ate meal 1 and in another couple hours I'm going to eat my pre workout meal and head to the gym. Legs today. ![]()

Recipes: 1 Rep Power: 50 | Week 1, Day 1 Meal 1 (10:05-10:20) 1 slice whole wheat bread 2 scoops Isopure Pre-workout (12:35-12:40) 155g whole wheat rotini with 25g Ragu 2 tbsp. Gatorade powder in water Post-workout (2:10-2:25) 2scoops Isopure .5 cups maltodextrin Meal 4 (4:45-5:00) 5 oz. chicken breast 1 slice whole wheat bread Meal 5 (7:45-7:55) 4 egg whites, 4 whole eggs, scrambled 18 almonds Meal 6 (10:20-10:35) 4.1 oz. steak 18 almonds Totals Cals: 2332 Protein: 244g (44%) Carbs: 184g (29%) Fat: 67g (27%) - - - Cals were a bit low, but they won't be once I get my MPI. I think I'm going to throw in an additional 18 almonds into meal 5 just to bump calories slightly. I'll cut a few almonds out in a few weeks. Great day, didn't cheat at all. Not a crumb.

Recipes: 1 Rep Power: 50 | Week 1, Day 2 Meal 1 (10:50-11:05) 1 slice whole wheat bread 2 scoops Isopure Meal 2 (1:45-1:55) 1 slice whole wheat bread 5.1 oz chicken breast Meal 3 (4:20-4:30) 135g whole wheat rotini 25g Ragu 2 tbsp. Gatorade powder in water Meal 4 (PWO; 6:35-6:50) 2 scoops Isopure .5 cups maltodextrin Meal 5 (8:55-9:10) 4.2 oz steak with <1 tbsp of A1 sauce 18 almonds Meal 6 (10:15-10:20) 4 egg whites, 4 whole eggs 18 almonds 3 caps of EFAs Totals Cals: 2316 Protein: 244g (44%) Carbs: 179g (28%) Fat: 70g (28%) - - - Another cheat free day. I think I can do this. Meals 5 and 6 were only an hour apart, but that was my only option if I wanted to get all meals in and get enough sleep tonight. My legs are murdered and need all the recovery they can get. I'm anxious for my MPI to get here.

I'm actually getting hunger pains for the first time. I'm excited. Before I would just see that it had been 2-3 hours before I had last eaten and figure I ought to eat. So I must be doing something right! ![]() HOW MANY GRAMS OF CARBS SHOULD I CONSUME DURING A REFEED, AN HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE A REFEED? ARE THEY EVEN NECESSARY WITH MY CURRENT CARB INTAKE?

Re-feed 1x/week, or depending on how you're feeling, 2x/week. Make your re-feed the same day that you train your weakest bodyparts/lifts. Not my forte... but hope it helps. | |

Recipes: 1 Rep Power: 50 | Yes, maintenance shows up around 2900-3000 without calculating in exercise, and I also choose about one activity level lower than what I probably am just to be conservative. 125g seems about what I figured. I think I'm going to do them the night before my leg day because I care about my squat more than anything. Thanks Dav. ![]()

Good day altogether. I bought some ZMA today also. Going to wait another hour or so to take it as you're supposed to on a n empty stomach. Then it's sleepy time. ![]() I forgot to mention, I've been monitoring my water intake as well. Days 1-3 I drank 2 gallons+, and today I've drank about 1.5 gallons.

Recipes: 1 Rep Power: 50 | Week 2, Day 1 Meal 1 (7:45-7:55) 2/3 cup granola w/ raisins Meal 2 (12:10-12:20) 4.5 oz chicken breast Meal 3 (3:15-3:20) 4 egg whites, w whole eggs, scrambled Meal 4 (4:45-4:50) 155g whole wheat rotini 25g Ragu 2 tbsp Gatorade powder Meal 5 (6:15-6:20) 1/4 serving Cheesecake of the Gods Meal 6 (8:25-8:30) Another 1/4 serving Cheesecake of the Gods lol Meal 7 (Pre-bed; 10:30-10:35) 2 scoops MPI in water 3 EFA caps Totals Cals: 2530 Protein: 313g (52%) Carbs: 136g (19%) Fat: 76g (29%) Water: Over a gallon - - - Protein sources weren't varied enough in my opinion, but I'm low on meat. Gotta make more tomorrow. Carbs were lower than usual, which I thought was cool. I think I'm gonna eat granola in the morning instead of toast. It tastes better and it has some more protein.
