Today's Miraculous Macros

884 Calories, 7.0g Fat, 2.0g Carbs, 200.1g Protein

:hmmm: How'd-I-Do-Dat?:D

Lots of shrimp.

BUT WAIT!!

959Calories, 14.5g Fat, 3.0g Carbs., 200.1g Protein

Forgot the horseradish stuff I put in the shrimp..

200 grams of protein.. that's allot of shrimp! Isn't that bad for your cholesterol?
 
Yes,I is.:D

The Burger from Hell
So, I just finished checking the nutritional data on the new burger I just added to the menu....:hair:
Serving size is 4oz....the Burger is TEN ounces...so, we're talking about 800Calories, 70g Fat, 0g Carbs, and 45g Protein......per burger.

I wonder if this would fit Lyle's parameters? :nerd:

I'm so damned glad my cheat meal is TOMORROW! :(

It was 16.1 oz. of shrimp....quite a lot in one sitting. But, since shrimp is a "lighter" food, it wasn't that bad. The other was turkey cutlet. I realized at 8:45 that I hadn't had time to eat, so I had to gorge on shrimp like a starved whale....well, a little whale, lol.
According to what I've read, and what Built has talked about in the recent past, cholesterol is really more of a genetic predisposition than it is a response to ingested cholesterol.

CNN: Shrimp's high cholesterol may not be so bad

I'll go with that for now, anyway.:D

So, today is all about staying tight within the parameters, and tomorrow is
CARB FEST!:ohyeah::rocker::dance::clap::banana::dancer:

I'd agree with that. My uncle told me that his cholesterol level was 130something. Mine has been sub 100 years ago and was 143 back in 2006 (I have a binder with my Quest Diagnostics report in a plastic sleeve :nerd:).

I'm sure my grandmother's was low, too. Or I'm guessing it was. She lived to age 87 and died after a surgery for issues related to diverticulitis. We were raised on scrapple, eggs, and typical Pennsylvania Dutch foods.

I almost wish I could trade for a genetic predisposition to "getting swole!"

lol @ little whale :)

SCRAPPLE!?! Man, it's been a while since I heard (or have eaten) that! I was first introduced to scrapple back in, uhhhh,'89 in Drums, Penn. I think it was. Interesting stuff....until I learned what it was made of,lol. They actually sell it here, but I haven't had the urge to buy any for some reason.:hmmm::D
 
I have been thinking about BBQ'd shrimp ever since you mentioned it.
My wife picked it up for me today and I scarfed it down like it was my last meal!
:laugh:
Happy fathers day buddy!
 
Refeeds.They seem like fun at first...

Okay, so you know you've consumed enough carbs when you find yourself looking forward to eating tuna again, lol.:spaz:
Man, that was a tough one. I stayed within my intended range, both with the total grams consumed (~480...maybe a tad high...we'll see) and the five hour period in which to consume the carbs.....I'mjust glad nobody lit a match, or I might have reinacted the whole Hindenburg thing.

Alright,now on to the workout. I've been going with the full body routine two times a week, but I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't try a different split...something similar to what Lyle has outlined in the book, but a tad more focused on areas I feel need attention. Not a lot different from what I've been doing....just a little more.

Monday/Upper
Seated Row (Cable or Nautilus)
Bench Press/Nautilus Incline Press
Lat. PullDown
Tricep Press (Cable)
Curls (Alternate between, ez-bar,DB,hammers)


Thursday/Lower
Leg Press (eventually working back into Squats exclusively)
Leg Curls and/or Rack Pulls (Working back into RDL's exclusively)
Calf work
Leg Extensions (I've been doing these more often than squats)
Weighted Crunches
Back Extensions

Sunday/Upper
DB Press (Flat or Incline)
Seated Row (Cable Close Grip)
DB Lateral Raises
Dips/Tricep Press
Cable Curls
Cable Crossovers


The following Monday would rotate back to the Lower workout, etc. etc.So it is basically what I've been doing with a little accesory work thrown in. Those that are in grey are excercises that I wanted to add, but would be done in few sets (2-3) just because there are certain areas that I would really like to work on.....seems like I have been doing nothing for biceps (yeah, I know curls are over rated) but pecs need a little more attention I think, if nothing more than hitting them from different angles. This is all thrown together, so it will obviously need tweaking. The bottom line is this.....I need to work on my legs without overdoing it (during this diet anyway) and I'd like to tighten up on my pecs and biceps. I have been too nonchalant with squats and RDL's, doing them only when they were most convenient, when the rack was available, or when I didn't get slack and opt for leg press instead. So I really need to focus on these because otherwise Imight end up with developed quads and no hamstrings or glutes....that would be odd, to say the least.

Let me know what you think.....with this diet, as you may already know, the workout is more about not doing too much...which is getting hard for me. Full body is okay, but I'm afraid that the boredom might get me off track eventually. Off to the gym to do one or all of the above listed workouts,lol.
 
I too got burned out on doing full body workouts. There's plenty more energy to go around with a split.
One thing I will suggest my friend, Do some dips for pecs as well as for tri's. They have really kicked started some otherwise stagnant gains in the chest. Also, though not for everyone, I found those hack squats are really great for the quads and dont really require a spotter or rack to perform. I do leg extensions too but once you start getting into the really heavy weights, not so good for your knees.

Yeah, I think I'm just bored. The problem, or potential problem, is doing too much while on the diet. I just wanted to add a few things, or change excercises for the same muscle groups. Did leg extensions today....I've run out of plates on the yuppie machine...time to move to the free weight loaded model,lol.
I need to go figure out my food....BRB.


906 Calories, 5.4g Fat, 3.2g Carsb, 205.5g Protein.

That'smuch better...especially after the carb-fest. Tuna and mustard never tasted so good.....well.:thinking:

You're the king of discipline.:rocker:
 
I love the fact you got the words 'nonchalant' and 'squats' in the same sentence, good job :laugh:. Your discipline when it comes to your food is an eye opener for me, im nowhere near your level of detail, impressive.

3.2 g of Cars? No wonder I felt bloated.

I am quite the Grammarian, and often a Malapropist, y'know..:D

Re: Diet.....I have found that without properly tracking macros, it is nearly impossible to have any control over (any) diet. I don't get obsessive about it, but I do have to input this stuff or I'll go right off of the tracks. It is waaaay too easy to ignore or overlook things that will compound and ultimately ruin your plans. The beauty of the RFL (PSMF) diet is that the parameters are clearly defined, and the routine is easy to follow.
Diet diet diet free meal diet diet refeed.

Oh, but one must hold Salmon in high regard, and have a profound adoration for TUNA!:lol:
 
Before I get sidetracked with something else...

Today's Projected Foodages

1,025Calories,15.7g Fat, 3.4g Carbs, 206.3g Protein


Won't be seeing any Calorie totals in the 800's anymore. 1040 (@200g/P,20g/C, 20g F) will be the minimum from this point on, with the exception of refeed days, which will be in the kazillions.

Are these increases in carbs and fat due to this cat2 thingy?
I assume you're not shooting for ketones anymore.

:hmmm:....Oh snap! That was misleading.:doh:

I'm still staying under 20 grams of fat and carbs, so ketosis isn't out of the picture. I've increased my minimum protein from...what was it?....160 grams to 200 grams, so as a result my total cals will go up.

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but Fitday's Caloric total is wrong...it's about 45 calories higher.:thinking::gosh: Due to this sort of variance, I have pretty much ditched (or avoid) most of the fitday pre-loaded macros, and now use the one's I've entered myself.....I have a freakin' library in there,lol.

So, last night I was walking through our kitchen, tripped, and fell into this..
peanut_butter_salmonella1.jpg


:rolleyes::wits: Yeah, I know...STOOOOOPID.

Not sure what the problem was yesterday, especially late in the day, but I had the freakin' munchies. I ate my foods (as posted here) right on the money, and ended up consuming some fat/sugar free jello, 3/4 of a jar of pickles, a LF cheese stick.....and then that other thing....the one with too much fat...and sugar....son of a...:headbang:

Initially, I figured I would just count it as my "free meal"...but the sugar! What the heck....

So today, I will punish myself by eating enough tuna to result in near fatal heavy metal levels. Call me Freddy Mercury.:suicide:
 
Y'all know the drill....

998 Calories, 19.4g Fat, 5.1g Carbs, 203.2g Protein


1007.80....Fitday numbers only off by 9.8 cals this time. Of course, it could be the macros on the various nutritional labels, but I'm not going back over all of those. Workout tomorrow. Woot.

what the hell are you eating? I really dont stray much-I eat 1 egg, about 7 egg whites, a package of no carb beef jerky, several shakes a day with 1g of carbs only, 1 lb f grilled chicken with 2 cups arugula, 2 tbsp mustard, 2 cups 1% cottage cheese with 3g of carbs and a teeny amount of fat, and finally 2 more scoops of whey and 1 tbsp natty pb from smuckers. That's it. I cant get lower than that. Its job to get in 40g of protein a day.

Mainly tuna (vac-packs rock vs. canned) , turkey (breast) cutlets, chicken breast, shrimp,tilapia, haddock, LF string cheese (mainly for the calcium) etc. I have to make a special effort to keep up with the green leafy vegi's, and have been using protein "shots"~those fruit flavored vials, sugar free, 1g carbs~ to manipulate my daily numbers/ get me where I need to be. I've gotten away from eggs lately because it takes so damn many of them to get any reasonable amount(s) of protein.... and here lately I have not been hungry in the a.m.
I have, until recently, tried to stay away from things like my Pure Protein powder, natty peanut butter, coffee creamer, etc. because of the minimal or hidden sugar that might inhibit ketosis.....still not sure if a single gram is enough to ruin things, otherwise I'd be knocking down a lot more protein shakes.

One thing I've noticed since I resumed the diet is that my hunger has not been blunted as much. I'm assuming that the refeeds will cause this, since I will be riding the carb coaster....now spending half of my time recovering from the carb load and it's associated cravings. I'd kinda rather just stay in Ketoville..seems a lot less stressful. But if I did, I'm sure I would surely stall.
