Thread: stupid plateau

can i just vent my frustration?

i knew my meals were too good to be true
i wasnt accounting nearly enough fat in salmon. man those meals were delicious!

at least i lost like 4 pounds. even though i had way too much fat, my diet was sooooo much better than before. i'm glad i figured out why i hit the plateau tho...

anybody here doing the isocaloric diet (33/33/33 calories)?
if so, mind sharing the proportions of some of yer meals? i had it down, minus the salmon screw up... but im curious what other people are eating.
i get about 550 cals per meal., but i could just calculate the difference.

thanks for the info gang! (ha i called you guys gang)

I dont maintain a journal online, but here is my present diet. This is for a non training day(Off Gym). So the only addition to it on a training day is a pwo shake.

I avoid working out my diet from a percentage point of view as my macros get skewed. But this diet sort of 'fell' into the isocaloric scale without me trying too hard.

This site does not allow attaching an excel file, so i hope you are able to decipher the info.
