plateau busting - goin back to what got me this far
havent officially weighed-in for 10 days due to sickness; decided to breakthru this bullshit month-long plateau this week. i took an objective look at what i ate at the beginning and what ive been eating recently. my portion sizes were growing, i kinda veered away from strictly eating whole food, and ive been way too liberal with "luxury items."
==================================
I dropped the natty peanut butter, whole wheat bread, light mayo, south beach bars, and stuff that i guestimate carbs / fat - like my dad’s "healthy chili". Im rationing myself 1 pure protein bar as a treat per day instead, either pre or post workout.
I also added in more starchy carbs, which I was a little nervous to do. ive actually have had more energy and MUCH better pumps, so i guess im on the right track. typical menu:
5am)wake - 2 scoops Isopure zero carb whey protein isolate ; *50 minutes cardio*
7-8am) 3 eggs; 1 cup oatmeal
11am) walnuts;
12pm) BCAA drink *LIFT* 1 sccop isopure/1 sccop casein/ 1 tsp creatine mono
1) 1/2 BIG can tuna; 1/2 cup brown rice; broccoli; walnuts
4-5) steak/ chicken breast/ OR 1/2 big can tuna; 1/2 cup brown rice; cauliflower
8-9) 3 eggs
