8/27

Ok I havent been posting much because i have been at home all week. My kids are home schooled and I had to play teacher for the week. Or 3 days anyway. They hog all the computer time.

WO
Deadlifts
Overhead press
pull ups
ellyptical
Swimming (not laps but playing with my kids for about 45 minutes)

Didnt want to go. I was lazy last week which made my Monday WO leave me sore all week. Glad I did though because I felt better after I left. Went straight to the in laws and hopped in the pool.

I have re-devoted myself to Fitday. My weight loss has been flat lately and I want to do a better job tracking it.

Calories: 2,069
Fat: 27%
Carbs:34%
Protein 28% (155.2g)
Alcohol: 11%

Had a cheeseburger, chips and 3 beers for dinner. I was actually shocked when I seen how low my calorie intake still was.

So far this week

Calorie avg.:1,827
Protein avg: 123.4

Whoever said getting 1g of protein per lb of body weight was full of shit. I have been eating double protein every chance I get and chugging shakes and still come up short.

Taste great! Less filling!

Yeah I know. I have been told that since I am pretty close to goal and lifting pretty heavily I should shoot for 1g per BW. Really makes no difference though. I would pretty much have to set in a protein I.V. to get either one.

You must be really bad at "eating double protein and chugging shakes", because I find it pretty much impossible not to get 1g of protein per lb of body weight. And I weigh 190 lbs! When I'm actually trying it's more like 2.

Does your diet suck? Shoot me a pm and we will fix it!

I guess I just don't eat that much. I know what I need to do, eat more protein. Duh. 190g is hard to get though. Even with 5 meals a day that is 38g per meal. Maybe to some that is easy but with me its a little tough. Believe me I have read a billion articles on "tips" to add protein. I just don't eat that much.

How much is "just not that much"? 'Cause I'm eat about 1800-2400 calories a day, myself.

I think you are confused about some of those tips, or something, because I could show you how to make it pretty damn easy. You can do whatever you want. I'm just sayin'.
 
OK here is my low protein day for the week.

Breakfast
Oatmeal w/ natural PB and 1/2 scoop of whey
Turkey sausage link
28g protein

Lunch
Lite beef frank on wheat bread x2
Cantaloupe
27.7g protein

Rice cake w/PB and honey

See what I mean? Proportionally, I am eating LESS food than you, in terms of bulk. And significantly cleaner. Starches only after weight training. And yet I am getting more than twice as much protein. This is what I meant by you being confused about the "tricks". :)

I can do the rest of the day's comparison if you like, but it basically continues that way. In the evening I eat protein + fats instead of protein + carbs, but am still getting at least 40g of protein per meal, though my total calories (with the exception of "lunch" which is my PWO meal) stay at or around 400 per meal.
