First entry

[Baumer]

Well, here's my first diary entry here.

Today is early morning workout day, I really don't like working out in the morning, late afternoon is much better.

Yesterday was kind of a "cheat day" only had 5 meals instead of the usual 6, and dinner was definetely a cheat.

meal 1:
-protein shake
-stack of pancakes made with ketogenics lo-carb, hi-protein pancake mix with some bannana slices and a few choc. chips I got at the health food store that are non-dairy with no refined sugars thrown in(they're pretty good, and kinder on the insulin levels) topped off with sugar free syrup.

meal 2:
-Pure protein bar

meal 3:
-Myoplex vanilla shake blended with some cinnamon and ice

meal 4:
Went out to dinner and ate:
1/2 order of chicken quesadilias
A large plate of chicken, broccoli, shrimp, and scallops over angelhair pasta in a garlic wine sauce
I just had to bring along a bottle of pure protein to at least try and offset the carbs and fat

meal 5:
-Protein shake


workout was:
legs and cardio
-15 minutes interval training on the bike
-4 sets leg presses
-3 sets sitting calf machine
-3 sets leg curls
-3 sets leg extensions
-20 minutes interval on the eliptical stepper

Leg day is a short one, I probably don't spend as much time as I should on them in the gym, but I'm also pretty active outside the gym, play hockey, raquetball, so they get their share.

As far as other supplements go, I use CLA, glutamine, and creatine, as well as supplementing my diet with additional fiber when needed.

Any comments or suggestions on my first try here?

Anyone have any comments on my diet or training so far?

 

[EarWax]

I think it is a great diet but a little to many shakes for my taste

How do you feel about your diet? Is it working for you?

[Baumer]

My diet seems to be working quite well, when I first started dieting and working out more strict like this, about 10 weeks ago, I was really crazy about my diet, watching and counting everything, with no "cheat" day or meal. I dropped calories and carbs too fast and lost too much weight fast, now I'm trying to slowly gain lean weight back. I'm getting a little smoother, but it's worth it, I was down to about 6% bodyfat, but was miserable.

[frankm007]

where do u get the "lo-fat, lo-carb, hi protein muffins"? brand name, etc... thnx whats ur total daily caloric intake btw, approximatly? ur height and weight (body i can tell is low by the pics, heh)

------------------
Eat burgers and deadlift

 

[Baumer]

I make the muffins using a recipe with Carbolite brand bake mix. It's made from soy protein, each scoop has 0 carbs, 0 fat, 96 calories, and 24 grams protein. I use it also to make waffles, pancakes. I usually use like 3 1/2 scoops for a batch of waffles or pancakes, so it makes for a high protein, lo-carb meal.
