Man, that's nasty....even I have limits on how tuna is to be consumed. Blaaah!
Okay, back to the numbers....
Yesterday's macros
902Calories, 7.4g Fat, 10.0g Carbs, 186.4Protein
Time for Carb Scrutiny...seeking Ketosis
Carbs is Carbs.
The carbs I entered for yesterday might seem somewhat higher than what I've posted in the past. This is due to the fact that, from this point on, I will be entering every single gram of carbs. I consume...including vegetables, which I may have omitted in the past if the amount was less than .5~.75cups. This also includes things such as coffee creamer (.5g carb.s, 1g Fat per teaspoon) or I may stop (have stopped) using these completely, simply because things like this (e.g. Coffeemate) might say 0 sugar on the label, yet have sugar listed as the first item on the ingredient listing.
Fat Facts.
It is virtually impossible to follow this diet without encountering fat. Lean chicken breasts have fat, you're taking 10g of fish oil a day, etc. Therefore, I will try to maintain a minimal fat intake, but am not going to get too upset if I overshoot the number (20g max per day) The way I see it, at least the fat I consume is good fat with a vital function in the diet process.
Sticking with the Supplements
While I have kept up with the calcium, magnesium, potassium, multi-vitamin dose per day, I've gotten slack on the fish oil...usually taking only 5g per day if I remember to do so. Since Lyle has placed great emphasis on fish oil in the book, and we already know that it is very important, I will have to maintain the 10g per day. As for the importance of including this in my daily fat count? Myehh, I think I'll just stick to what I've been doing.
The Workout. The routine shouldn't be routine.
After this week, I'm going to change things a bit with the workout. I've been doing the same excercises twice a week......diet or no diet, this just can't be beneficial after months. I really really need to put more emphasis on hams and glutes. Crowded or inaccessible rack area or not, I have GOT to get the squats and deads in. Seems I've gotten away from this area, and I can tell. So I will put some thought into a new routine and post it here. Keep in mind, this workout is only to retain the muscle I currently have. That's it. So the numbers might seem low initially...but this is no problem.
Nah, I think you guys might be in similar positions...I've still got a little further to go before I can sport a banana hammock.
Got the ball rollin' again...this might be fun.
Friday's Feast...
