Mmmm, Egg Whites and Bran

Eating my new breakfast this morning inspired me to hop on and write a new blog post. I’m incorporating a bit more protein to my diet. 2 egg whites and 2 whole eggs (scrambled) with a little bit of cheese and 1/2 cup of bran cereal in the morning. I’m also replacing my 4th meal (pasta and vegetable) with a protein shake and moving the vegetable to my 6th meal along with my cottage cheese. I’m trying to get at least 25g of protein per meal, this ups my daily intake to approximately 150g protein instead of 120-130 like I was eating and I get to take that carbohydrate out of the 4th meal. The fat is coming off slowly but surely and I cut out peanut butter and only have a tiny bit of cheese in the morning. The fats that I am consuming are flaxseed oil, cheese with those eggs, and a meat source at my 5th meal.

I ordered my Dymatize Elite Whey… so excited for it to come because my roommate’s powder is DISGUSTING. blech.

Training is coming along great, except for the fact that I don’t wake up in the morning and write it off as being able to go in the afternoon. Yeah, I go, but I’d like to start going in the mornings like I plan for. The up side is, though, that I only do this when I haven’t gotten 8 hours of sleep.

Goals for the next week include EATING CLEAN and hit those abs HARD. I’m working my ass off in the gym, but I need to work my ass off outside of it, too.

Nutrition Program

Trying this meal plan for a while. As of now, the caloric intake is about 1800-2000 and I’m burning off anywhere from 200-500 with cardio 3 times per week. Of that, approx. 130g is protein (I’m at 130 lbs. right now). I still feel a bit hungry after I eat. Does anybody have tips on if I should be eating more or should I just ignore that until the next meal? I am trying to decrease bf to 9%. I am at 11.5% right now, using Lipo 6, and am pretty sure that bf has dropped significantly in the last month, so I am doing something right.

Meal 1:
Oatmeal w/ a little sugar-free syrup or a high-fiber bran cereal

Meal 2: (Post-Workout)
Protein Shake

Meal 3:
Deli Sandwich (usually turkey or tuna on whole wheat bread)
Piece of fruit

Meal 4:
Whole wheat pasta or brown rice
Vegetable

Meal 5:
Meat source (love the chicken breast)
Huge salad w/ grated cheese and low-fat dressing

Meal 6:
Cottage cheese
1 tbsp. peanut butter

On my cheat day I try to take in more carbs than normal because I hear this helps the effects of creatine. If anyone, especially ladies, have any advice on this experimental nutrition program I’m using, lemme know. Thanks!

Dymatize Elite

Hoky dokey, so hey everybody. I’ve been using CytoGainer whey protein for the last month or so and just ran out today :O. It was my first experimentation with protein powder and was free of cost to me, so I just used it. It’s great for the calories, but it only has a little over 13g of protein per scoop. SOOO, I’m thinkin’ about Dymatize Elite Whey. Has anybody used this and if ya have, let me know how it works/worked for you. I’m using my roommate’s EAS stuff in the meantime to hold me over, but I think Dymatize could be better and it’s fairly inexpensive. Thanks!
