Day 1

Day 1
This is the first day of my new meal plan. I will post my meals and my workout in detail for criticism.

I am following this meal plan here (the first one). I will log exactly what I eat on a daily basis.

Meal 1
8:00am
1 egg, 5 egg whites fried using a spray of pam. Seasoned with pepper.
1 4oz patty extra lean ground beef grilled on the BBQ. Seasoned with garlic and pepper.
1/2 cup oatmeal using a package of Quaker instant maple brown sugar topped up with organic quick oats.
1 litre water.

comments: This was a huge meal for me. I barely managed to finish the eggs and beef and only ate half of the oatmeal. I am using up the packages before using the quick oats only.

Meal 2
10:45am (preworkout)
5 strawberries, 2 scoops protein powder, 4 tblsp whipping cream (33%), blended with ice and water.
500 mL water.

comments: Obviously all protein powder was not created equal. If you want the specs on this let me know and I'll list them.

Meal 3
1:45pm
8oz chicken grilled, seasoned with paprika, pepper, italian seasoning.
1/2 cup lettuce, 1/2 cup red peppers, 1/2 cup mushrooms. 1 tbsp italian dressing.
1 litre water.

comments: Regular italian dressing, will get fat free.

Meal 4
5:10pm
4oz chicken, 4oz beef prepared the same way as before.
1 grany smith apple.
500 mL water

Meal 5
8:00pm
10oz stir fry beef, 1/2 cup red pepper, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 cup red onion, 1/2 cup broccoli. 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce.
500 mL water

comments: I made a stir fry using Pam cooking spray. The teriyaki sauce has a very high sodium content. I need to find an alternative. Suggestions?

Meal 6
6 strawberries, 4 tbsp whipping cream, 2 scoops protein powder, water, ice.
500 mL water.
