Armada’s BodyBlog

I just updated my profile with some new pics.  I’ve been eating clean for 3 weeks, and my wife came back from vacation and was impressed.  Now I’ll be preparing a diet, and workout plan for her.  I’m looking for more ways to tweak my diet plan, so it’s not so boring.  I’ve been mainly eating chicken, brocolli, and tuna, because it’s easy to prepare.  I want to add more stuff to my diet plan, without going over my max carb, and calories.  I usually only eat no more than 1800 calories a day at the mosts.  The least I take in is 1300.

Well, I finally put together a meal plan, and I did it right.  The average man usually need anywhere between 2700- 2900 calories a day.  That’s just to do every day activities.  I finally got down to 1600 calories a day.  It took awhile for me to get down that low, because I didn’t want to shock my body.  I had to gradually decrease my meal portions each week, until my body got used to it.

I take in less than a 100 carbs for 4 days, and then go back up to a high carb, diet for 2 days.  When I say diet, I just mean I’m actually planning my meals instead of just sticking my head in the fridge, and grabbing the first thing I can nuke in the microwave oven.  I track my meals, calories, protein, carbs, and fats on a spreadsheet.  It’s made me more aware of what I eat now.  I’ve been doing this for 3 weeks now, and have lost 8 pounds.

I’m still putting on muscle because I take in more than 200g of protein a day, and work out 6 days a week.  I’ve put together an ab routine, which I do 3 times a week.  I look in the mirror and notice the difference.  I’m the one who usually complains because I can’t see any results.  Now my wife wants me to put a meal plan together for her.
