Here is my log from yesterday. It was a rest day, so my calorie intake was lower and my ratios were a little weird.
I suppose this is a pretty typical off-day for me, although the fat content is a little high because I got caught on the road and had to sustain myself on gas station mixed nuts. No good haha. This is also quite under maintenance for me. I should probably be getting in another 200 or so cals a day. I'm trying, but I'm so full all the time!
On days I workout, I tend to get in more carbs post-workout after I take in a 45gram+ protein protein shake. I avoid fat intake at this time and then eat a solid meal maybe an hour and a half later. This seems to work well and keep me settled till the next day.
The food looks pretty boring, I know, but yesterday was pretty busy for me so I didn't have much time to make/invent better stuff. I use plenty of seasonings when making things, usually salt-free, or I just don't use it. I've also been using the crock pot so much it's probably going to break. I need to get better at making things that will last 3 days instead of 5 though, as I tend to get bored of them around day 3.
One more thing I forgot to mention is water intake. I've been drinking probably around a gallon/gallon 1/2 a day. I've also been making a ton of green tea iced tea (caffeine free) that seems to keep me feeling pretty good. The only liquid I really miss having a lot of is beer! :)
Whelp, hopefully I didn't bore you too much! On with the posts!

Yeah, it's totally good. As a matter of fact, I'm going to blend one up right now with some almond milk! I'll bring some in next week.
ReplyDeleteJohn - thanks for the advice, that is exactly what I need. I want to understand the science behind when to consume my protein vs. fruits, etc. I DEFINITELY want to try this coffee protein.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have or know of a good book to read about Paleo?
Rae - read the paleo solution by Robb Wolf. It's a great read filled with some good humor to keep you interested unlike the other dry boring paleo and general dietary books. In fact I'm sitting in barnes and noble right now reading it... I should be studying... Woops!
