I could have gone for more, because I found my core pace. My breathing, step and heart rate were all in sync. But I already finished the lap.
What the foods look like?
Sandwich, Tuna Salad (Serving Size: 1 item, fresh celery, onions, boil eggs). I make 3-half sandwiches. I just put in enough Tuna Salad to cover one side of the bread, then fold it over. Therefore, I don't eat the entire container. It lasts for about one to a week in a half.

1 Whole Banana
16oz. (2.5 cups) 2% Milk
24oz. (3 cups) Special K cereal
The good thing I've noticed is my protein intake is always way more than my fat and carb consumption. And I felt full after this meal, so that means stomach sack is smaller! Considering all of these stats I put in, one could imagine what physique a 6' foot, 206lb man looks like. However, I do intend to put pictures up soon.

The rice was what was left in the pot. I'm cooking brown rice for now on. I might get some Special K or salad later on.

Even though, through the course of the day, I don't have that many cravings, I have to start my meals way earlier. I see that. But to me, they are... seemingly healthy, right?
I've noticed one trick about my body. When it comes to dieting, having a variety is key. Instead of feeling like I'm on a "diet", I feel like I'm pigging out. I'm having my cake and eating it too!

I know it's bad, eating my first meal so late in the day. At least it's healthy.

My end goal is to eat 8x to 10x 16oz. meals every 1.5 to 2 hours; through the course of the day. It'll feel like I'm just snacking, but my metabolism will skyrocket. Obviously I'm not going to cook every time. These will be already prepared meals of mostly greens, nuts, fruits, whole wheat, multi-grains and salads. My little secret, cost-effective way to save: I recycle the small, plastic containers from when I use to order Chinese food. Also, this effects my everyday workout, because I have to carry an extra bag.

A natural/affordable diet for striping down and getting cut up.
Does anyone have a natural, affordable diet plan for getting lean, losing weight, striping down and cutting up?
I usually go with very small bowls of 8 to 10 meals a day. And they consist of a minute combination of fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, tofu, lean white meat-chicken, lean turkey, salmon, fat free milk and lots of water (at least a gal. a day). But since my income has changed for the worst, I'm going to need something more affordable.
Does anyone have any ideas?
A change of plan.
Thanks to my injury, I was out of the gym for a little over a month. It struck my body in the worst way because my previous diet plan was meant for gaining a mass of lean muscle.
At first, I
thought nah... this can't be. I only gained 5lbs! But when I got my
muscle to fat ratio checked out, there arose the truth. Instead of just gaining fat, like any normal person would have, my body loss muscle and gained fat! So I couldn't really see the change by just getting on a scale. This is a perfect reason why body fat percentage is very important.
So, this in mind, I finally got up the guts to check out my full physique in the mirror. I was on the verge of throwing up. I gained the fat mainly in my gluts, thighs, love handles then my arms. I was past upset. I was furious with myself.
I've decided to change my workout plan. I have pushed forward my strip down plan; full steam ahead. Besides, I only had until March 8th to gain muscle anyway, being out for a month can heavily damage anyone's plan.
Now, although I won't be able to eat as frivilous as I did before, the fun thing about striping down is I can spend more hours in the gym and do a lot of different exercises; so long as I stay moving with minimal rest in between.
My gym offers back to back classes that I can take without scrutiny. I love it! It's because I know me. I see it as a challenge. So long as I keep my 2 liter bottle filled and keep thinking it can't kill me, I'm not dying; I would most likely close the gym on every visit.
My strip-down plan is ugly in its own. My cardio workouts are relentless and non-stop. They promise you a consistent heart rate of at least 150, very little rest, long intervals and will beat you down until failure; near passing out. With this alone, I should be back in shape in no time.
Then there's my 88 free one-hour classes of Tiger Shulman's Karate. I've noticed from my past experience with them that they're not that good at tactical fighting, but their workouts will kick your big, pudgy a*s all the time. I'm talking about you hyper ventilating, drenched wet from sweat, dizzy and sleep, on your hands and knees crawling out of the dojo. I love them to death!
Last, but not least, I have the Insane Workout, Guthy Renker Ab Workout and P90 DVDs. I've used everyone of them but the Insane Workout, because I couldn't pass the aptitude test. Yes, there's an aptitude test at the start. So I will make that one my last mountain to climb over.
I can't really do testimonials for any one of them, because I'm using them in combination. So my results would be fictitious.
However the case may be, I really look forward to the journey. As I said, I know me. So it'll be all types of exciting. I'm known for being detail-oriented when comes to how what eating everyday and what workouts I'm doing and I'll post pics soon.
