Mr. Farang’s mumbo jumbo corner

Yet again post my meals. I have not done so for a while.  I am a little bit lazy to post my diet plan. Thank goodness, I have the hots for training as always. 

My meals for the last 1 week is slowly taper down the carb intake. So my meals yesterday are such

• water
• multi vit

Meal 2

• 2 cups of coffee
• water

Meal 3

• 1/2 bowl of noodle
• 2 cups of ginger water

Lower carb diet takes a little effect for now. I felt my pants slightly looser on the glutes and quads department. It has grown onto a panic for me. I couldn’t locate the pants my size in Asia. And last week, I have to order from bodybuilding.com for tshirts.  There aren’t many from me to choose from.  This is still a panic for me. ;(

I have not mentioned my meal plans for sometime now. Well, it almost the same as before.  Not much change. While lowering my carb intake, I am also spreading our the timing & portion of carb intake.  Most notably, I had some carbs in the morning snack, lunch and preworkout.  I workout at 630pm and after workout, I am skipping my carbs intake on certain days i.e. shoulder days or chest days or non cardio days. 

Meal 1

• 10 eggwhites steamed
• water
• multi vit

Meal 2

• 2 cups of coffee
• water
• 2 sets of chicken sandwiches

Meal 3

• Beef slices
• Rice Noodle 
• water
• 3 servings of ginger tea

Meal 4

• 2 sets of chicken sandwiches
• water

Meal 5

• Torrent 2 servings (PreWO)
• 1 liter of water

I have had problems with torrent postWO. It left me with quivers and cold sweats. Sometimes, I get slight faints? :confused:

Meal 6

• 1/2 bowl serving of low fat cottage cheese
• 2 servings of yogurt
• water

I don’t know how I broke my rice cooker recently.  Still trying to find out the reason behind the spoilage. Now, this left me with no good carbs (brown rice).  Being in an Asian country where carbs are usually simple carbs, needlessly to say I am not happy with it at all.  I had 2 days of simple carb in the form of rice noodle for lunch.  That left me sleepy and I get afternoon slump.  Rolled oats and brown rice are my fav. form of carbs.  They keep me full at a smaller portion and yet not making me sleepy. 

Meal 1

• 10 eggwhites mixed with water microwaved.
• 1 ruby grapefruit
• 2 coffee
• water

Meal 2

• 2 servings of chicken sandwich
• water
• Multi-vit

Meal 3

• Grilled lean skinless chicken breast
• 2 cups of ginger water
• Water

Meal 4

• Beef slices with white rice noodle 
• water

Meal 5

• 1 coffee
• Chinese baked pastry (1/4 size of a muffin)
• water

Meal 6

• Mushrooms
• Sweet Corn
• Grilled lean skinless chicken breast 
• Apex anti-oxidants
• water

I will buy my rice cooker this weekend shortly!

Nothing different from what I ate the previous day.  I am still eating on maintenance calorie with a smaller carb intake.  Contrary to a big drop of carb intake, I prefer to reduce it bit by bit to give my body adaptation.  Also, this could avoid jumping into the yo-yo diet trap.  Most importantly, I don’t want to get lethargy in the gym thereby hampering my workouts.   

Meal 1

• 10 eggwhites mixed with water microwaved.
• 1 ruby grapefruit
• 2 coffee
• water

Meal 2

• 1/4 bowl servings Brown rice
• grilled skinless lean chicken breast
• water
• Multi-vit

Meal 3

• 2 servings of chicken sandwiches
• 3 cups of ginger water
• Water

Meal 4

• 1/4 bowl of brown rice
• 170g of grilled skinless lean chicken breast
• water

Meal 5

• 1 serving of chicken sandwich
• water

Meal 6

• 6 grilled fishcakes
• Apex anti-oxidants
• water

Since switching to brown rice, my afternoon slump somewhat reduced.  However, there is no way I can confirm my afternoon slump is merely due to lower carbs or lack of sleep.  White rice tend to leave me with slumppiness for about 1 ~ 2 hours.  This has reduced to about 30 ~ less than 1hour.  I will have to monitor this to track of the culprit - is it white rice or sleep factor?

Stay tuned.

I am reducing my carbs intake most notably rolled oats and brown rice.  my breakfast usually consists of rolled oats and eggwhites. But I have been eating my eggwhites without oats and cutting my brown rice intake to 1/2 bowl servings.  My ass is getting rounder and it sort of tightening my pants a little bit. It might not be a pretty scene for some.

Sunday (GMT +8) July 1st 2007

I woked up really late in the morning as a result of a late movie (Transformers) lol :p.  Breakfast timing is virtually passed the mark.  I didn’t want to eat extra heavy prior to my lunch and training in mid afternoon. So I went a little low carb yesterday.

Plus my glutes and quads are getting tighter than usual.  so far this year I have changed my wardore for 1 time already, needlessly to say I am pretty reluctant to carbs up and possibly having to shop another wardore full of clothes.

I have 4 pairs of jeans and not could fit no more especially the quads area.  I had to buy a spare pair and I’m pretty reluctant to shop for clothes.  I don’t work in a "dress for success" industry so I am not an avid shopper.

Well, I lower my carbs a little bit.  My entire day meals are left with five. 

Meal 1

• 1/2 cup Low fat cottage cheese
• 1 cup of low fat milk
• Water (as measured by protein shaker)

Meal 2

• 4 sausages
• 3 Japanese dumplings
• 3 slices of wholemeal bread
• 2 slice of ham

Meal 3

• fish ball rice noodle
• lean chicken breasts
• water

Meal 4

• Roasted Almonds
• Water (as measured by protein shaker)
• 1 cup of coffee

Meal 5

• 1/2 a bowl of Brown rice
• 5 slices of grilled pork chops
• cabbages
• Water

Overall, I am not trying to eat big but eat just about right at maintainence.
