    BlueX_v1: eating, lifting, resting

    I'm going to see if I can keep one of these journals going, to help me with my diet more than anything else. This is the first time I have really taken weight training seriously and educated myself about it and looked at it as a lifestyle change rather than an activity. I'm pretty much on the far end of the hardgainer spectrum, so my program will reflect that, on the conservative side, until I get a better idea of what my body is capable of and responds best to. (Intro)
    Age: 25. Height: 5' 10". Weight: 140 lbs. Male.

    I'm going to try to consume 2650 calories daily (I have a desk job):
    Initially trying 200g protein, 350g carbohydrates, and 50g fat for a 30/53/17 caloric ratio.

    I will be doing a 4 week cycle, training an average 1.5 times per week-
    Week 1: Upper on Monday, Lower on Friday.
    Week 2: Upper on Wednesday only.
    Week 3: Lower on Monday, Upper on Friday.
    Week 4: Lower on Wednesday only.
    I'll also be doing cardio in between, at least 3 30min sessions preferably via outdoor activities like biking and paddling.

    Foods will be listed with macronutrient levels in the following format, to be calculated at the end of the day:
    [g protein, g carbohydrates (g sugar), g fat]
