Woke up this morning 20 minutes before class and realized that I’ve really been slacking on my groceries, so breakfast wasn’t quite what it usually is. But after I got my shopping done, it pretty much returned to normal.
Meal 1: Mint-chocolate whey and skim milk; this was only because I was slacking on my groceries and I had to get to class.
Meal 2: 8 peanut butter crackers (natural peanut butter and whole wheat crackers), 1 cup skim milk
Meal 3 (pre-workout): Half of a grilled chicken breast (roughly 3 oz.), 1 cup of basmati rice, 1 cup skim milk
Meal 4 (post-workout): Whey shake
Meal 5: 4 oz. broiled steak, 1 cup rice, 1 cup skim milk
Meal 6: Other half of a grilled chicken breast, 1 cup cottage cheese, multivitamin, green tea extract

Any comments are appreciated, as I’m almost sure that even though I feel like I’m eating a ton, I’m not eating enough, and on my routine.

First day back at the gym after a week with the stomach flu I didn’t really feel up for lifting, as I still felt pretty shitty and wasn’t feeling so confident about lifting anything for an extended amount of time. Instead, I decided just to do some cardio, as I knew I needed to get something done this week. Did some HIIT for roughly 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. I felt a lot better afterwards!
