Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Meal plans look good, but I personally think your cals are too low for your height and w8. I'm not the expert here though.

Hey mochy (got your name right now) ,

I was waiting for you to jump in and say that, I am having a hard time finding ways to up the cals (on low carb diet) and protein. I also find myself not being full after my fifth meal and craving more food, makes the evening tough. Although that craving will disappear when I am keeping myself busy ie working out.

I tend to carb up every 4 days last meal of the day. I also try to carb up the night before a strenuous workout for example legs or back. Helps give you an extra pump the next day.

Good Idea! Next week I will re-arrange my workout routine:

Sunday Night: Carb up
Monday: Legs
Tuesday: Chest Shoulders
Wednesday Night: Carb Up
Thursday: Back
Friday: Arms

I probably won't Carb up till Sunday this week!

Thursday January 9,2003

Just a little sore today (as I reach ever so tenderly to scratch my back). Oh well! I guess my Chest/Shoulder workouts kicked in, funny though I felt my back begin during the workout last night. I don't usually get any muscle aches for at least 12- 24 hours.

Well Today will be a Carb up day on my last meal. So far today:

7am
6oz Ground Chicken
2 Large Omega 3 Eggs
3 Egg Whites
1 Tbls Olive Oil

10am
2 scoops optimum whey
1 Tablespoon Flaxseed Oil
4 Strawberries
Fibre Supplement

12pm
9 oz Chicken Breasts
3 Cups Spinach Salad
1 Tablespoon Flaxseed oil
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar

230pm
1 can Tuna
1 apple
2 tbls nat pb

7pm
5oz Salmon
1 Cup Cauliflower

930pm
10oz Sweet Potato
1.25 cups Steel Cut Oatmeal Cooked
2 cups Broccoli
1 tbls nat pb

Damn that filled me up a lot more than I expected!

Cal 2467
Fat 101
Carbs 154 (I haven't been totalling active carbs)
Protein 241

I do with certain Exercises, Back not being one of them. I have a hard time working through them, because I find the pull exercises become a lot more difficult. I know what a whuss!
But I got through my workout!

It would be
1.5 cups of oatmeal
12 oz of Sweet Potato (Wow!)
6 oz of Banana
1 Cup of Veggies
1 tbls of butter or nat pb

IDF

What about adding Protein? Yeah or Neah?

Eating food is not my problem, Trust me! I think I have a couple of hollow legs, it just seemed that the calories would sky rocket.

I guess you gotta give it a shot, before you bash it.
