Well, I have decided to keep a word doc on my desktop and add the menu as I go through my day.  And just add it every week instead of blogging it everyday, even though I know that would give me more exposure, but that is not why I am doing this anyways.  I have people that know what I am doing and if they want to see how I am doing on an daily or every other day basis, they can hit me up.  I am an open book, for sound-boarding.  I am officially starting my Anabolic Push Monday morning, but I wanted to do a 2 day ramp up to work out the kinks and get my systems in place. I seemed to have a nice system working for now and an tracking nicely.  Today my goal was a high calorie day with 3040 k/cal, 315.5 g Prot, 190 g Carbs and 114 g fat as the goal.  I got pretty close on the goals and sometimes had to adda shake on the end.

So here are the numbes for the day and the meal plan blog will post the detail.  I started based on the 2500 calories maiuntaining my weight, I will do another weigh in 5 days like recommended and weight also at the recommended days of W, Th, and Sunday.

Sunday, 13 Jan 08

Cal:  3128 (+88); 162.5g Prot (-152g ), ouch supposed to be around 314g); 344 Carbs (+  154g); 125g Fat (+50g)

Just goes to show what Meal planning and after meal tracking can do for your day if you keep a running total.  If I would have known what my totals on my dinner were already I could have adjusted it to tailor my overage/ shortages)  But, instead I had a running total and a general idea of what I was eating (I went out) and then totaled it when I got back home.  By then it was too late and I had already gone over.  I cut the anabolic foods cheat sheet out of the mag and threw it in my purse for that reason, so that I can at least have a general idea of how much the carbs are and fats are in certain foods.  I can always add protein at the last pre-sleep meal in the form of a protein shake.  But you can’t take those damn Potatoes or rice back, can you?

Details:  I am using a spiral notebook for meal Logging and journaling on the opposite page, I am using a Weekly calendar for the Cardio, Lifting  and weigh In schedules.  I keep the calendar in my canning cupboard above my chopping board area in the kitchen and I keep the spiral notebook menu planner open on the counter.  I have my computer monitor mounted on my kitchens breakfast bar and a wireless keyboard so that helps for convenience of having it there to look up nutrient data on Calorie King and having the calculator right on the desktop.  I will be logging my supplements also along with my meal plan and my pre/post workout supps will be written in in the workout calendar.

Good Luck and let the BULKING commence!
