I have been trying to listen to my body the last few weeks and eat when I'm hungry. Currently 5'10 240 this is what I'm doing.
Breakfast : 5 Egg whites, 1 Yellow, 3 strips turkey bacon. Or a 3 egg white sandwich w/cheese & Turkey bacon. Coffee.
Snack : Protein shake 30g w/skim/water.
Lunch : Meat, Ground Turkey or Chicken, or Beef, with greens, either broccoli or a salad, olive oil.
Snack : Protein shake 30g w/skim/water.
Dinner : Same as lunch, olive oil.
Post workout: Protein shake 30g w/skim/water.
Now I have been eating shitty for sometime now, so this is a bit cleaner. I switch between two training cycles, mwf and sometimes but trying to switch to m t th fr. On training days I up the carbs. I will add in whole wheat toast, rice or whole wheat pasta at breakfast and lunch.
I try to cut carbs out from the afternoon on. I eat what I want on Sat & Sun. I bought a big ol bag of broccoli and I just eat a big amount with a meal if Im feeling hungry. Sometimes I eat some chips, 5 or 6 during the day if I feel hungry a little.
If I am feeling hungry it's usually between meals and I just do a shake. I really am trying to not have anything set or times and just eat when Im feeling hungry and back away when I'm not, but not for long, just postpone a little. I try to add more carbs in on workout days.
I plan on running this for a few weeks then upping my shakes to 60g. Its Whey/iso with 3g of carbs per 30 Prot.
Weekends need work but I am leaving them alone for now, I dont go hog wild, but I will eat what I want usually, Im trying to see if I can do this and adjust elsewhere. Breakfast is fine, lunch not too bad, dinner I eat what a normal person would, which isnt good, pizza, wings... I dont do shakes on weekends but am starting this weekend.
I weigh 240, I think 190-200 would be ideal, and I am slowly working that way. I just started morning cardio 20 mins / day. I have upped my water and will up the cardio next week until I stall. Then I will keep trucking along.
I do plan on eating a high carb breakfast meal on Monday mornings to see how this effects me. One other thing I have been testing is when I feel slight hunger, drink a little skim milk.
I want to try and mess with carb rotation, right now I feel like I am trying to move them when and where I need them. Is this a too simplistic way of doing it?
Thoughts?
