Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Meals...
Meal one looks good. You could take out the bread and have fruit there instead as another option.
Meal two.. i would have either rice or potatoe but not both. In place I would add a few healthy fats and perhaps some veggies.
Meal three... looks good!
Meal four looks good!
The 11 oclock meal looks good.
If you have anythings just have a bit of protein before bed. You really don't need another meal in there... What you've had so far is fine.
Great job!

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Thanks for the info cassie! This helps a lot. For meal two: I had very little rice, and the potato were thin 4 slices? does it affect that much? Too many carbs maybe?cassiegose wrote:Meals...

Meal two is lunch so it will always have rice (at least when I eat at home)...but sure can definitely take it out and add veggies!
I usually sleep around 2 a.m. (which didn't happen last night to an annoying creaking bathroom!!!!), I eat meal at least 2-3 hours before. And the cook is sleeping late at night, and I don't know how to cook food

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Yes a protein shake is completely fine before bed.
Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Today is Off workout day, but is rather a more active day than the others in sense of (no exercise, but a lot of walking) as opposed to ( exercise, plus light activity)
12 p.m.: 1 egg, a Special K Pro-Plus cereal, green tea...(200-300 cals)
2:30 p.m.: Grilled chicken with rice, little bit of lemon juice (300-400 cals)
5 p.m.: (Was in the movies) 8oz of corn with little butter,pepper,lemon, some popcorn, and PB granola bar (Probably another 300-400 cals too)
9 p.m.: bad meal for the week was Haredees. Had Chicken Fillet (no cheese), fries, and 7up. (Probably 700-800 cals...or?)
I will be sleeping at around 1-2 a.m....so I think body will have enough time to digest the food...and I'll be moving every now and then to do a few jumping jacks and stuff.
I don't think I should eat anything else...but will have a protein shake a little while before I sleep.
I think I still consumed about 2,000-2,500 and not more...right?
And hey everytime I've gone out for the past few weeks I've went for better options, it's just these two last weekends that I had a bad meal, but not the next weekend...(not this type of junk at least)

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Today's meals. There were a few slip up, but not major ones.
I overslept so I woke up around lunch time
1:00 p.m. 1 granola bar and half and a bottle of water (to keep me hydrated and get some carbs in)
2:30 p.m. (lunch). Grilled chicken, topped with lemon, and little rice, and 100ml of lemon juice. Too much lemon, I know!!!
3:30 low fat Roll-ups candy. One piece, 50calories.
4:30 one Stirred yogurt(has 0 sugars) and Protein Plus Special k Cereal with low fat milk
5:40-6:30 Weights, followed by Protein Shake and Granola bar
8:15..I was waiting for food and ate a bit of crap here and there...blah!! 1 mini pancake (like those mini CD's), some popcorn (a cup), Half a sandwich: Brown bread, turkey, lettuce, mustard, low-fat labneh. Small salad: Lettuce, potato, cheese, broccoli w/ oil and balsamic vinegar.
I probably had a lot in dinner, but not more than 500 cals (I hope)
11-12: I'll finish the other half of the sandwich (turkey) and have a Protein shake. If I felt hungry still...I will have 1 rice cake w/ PB

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Yey! Thanks!
Honestly I find it hard to eat what I usually eat in the morning, in fact I'm never really hungry. I just eat every few hours, despite the fact I'm not hungry. I also feel I eat too much, but I know that I need to what I eat to gain those muscles and lose the fat.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
First day of Uni....things don't seem so bad. SO FAR! Lol. I've been here only for 3 hours.
9 a.m.: Protein Plus Special K, 1 boiled egg (w/o the yellow. I don't like it when it's boiled, but it's quicker to eat), green tea (also pre-workout meal. I hope it's decent enough?) (200 cals)
10 a.m.: Weights,
11:00 a.m: 22g of whey protein shake w/water. 10 minutes later I had a brown bread sandwich (Low fat Labneh and Zatar), + half of a granola bar. (300 cals)
Sadly, I will be not be able to eat at 1pm for post-workout meal, but at 2 p.m. I hope it's not that destructive? If I eat at one p.m. (right after class) I will end up eating food with high fat in it, therefore, I'm eating lunch at home. So I have to drive back to city.
The rest is yet to come, but....
2:00 p.m. Rice w/ grilled chicken and lettuce w/corn. is eating a grilled chicken thigh bad? (300-400 cals)
5: 00 p.m. Peanuts, yogurt, 10g or protein shake (250 cals)
6:15 p.m. Class at Fitness First, BodyBalance (Tai chi, yoga...etc).Not intensive workout. Is that okay after weights within 6-7 hours? Probably lost about 100-200 cals
8 p.m.: Dinner: 1 scrambled eggs, 4-5 vine leaves w/rice in them, and green olives. change in plans. I know this older option is way healthier, but I did say I do not want to force myself into the path...and I feel I've been doing that. I refused to eat junk food in the past 4 days when asked. So I decided today I will go for it. It's not really junk food, but most likely has a lot of Saturated fats. A Shawarma (from outside). I'd assume it's 600 calories. I will be having one, and it's about 4 inches tall (pretty small one) W/ a few sips of Mountain dew (will aim for 50-100ml only) which I didn't have since....I don't remember. I'm not falling off the wagon. I'm making a choice. Plus I did weights today so I do have a higher metabolism, and need some extra calories which I doubt I'm getting
10 p.m.: 1 rice cake w Peanut butter, and MAYBE a protein shake if I felt like it. Would be, if I have it, 300 cals.
Sounds good? too much? About the right amount?
total of the day would be: 2,100-2,200

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
9:30 Special K Pro-Plus, w/ protein shake
10:40 had a half granola bar. I wasn't hungry but throat felt weird.
11:00-12:00....was super active, walked a lot, the whole time I was on feet
12:30 (not the best meal, I know) 6 inch white bread, turkey, olives, rokka, 1 slice of cheese, and I FORGOT to say no mayo. I told myself I would but it slipped mind. However, I said no to fries, and no to soft drinks and had water instead. I'd assume it was 550-700 cals not more
Plan for later in the day. it's 1 p.m.
4:30 Fruit and yogurt (170)
5:30 Cardio day. Will do RPM (biking). Probably will loose a lot of calories 400-600 in 45 minutes.
6:30 Protein shake(100 cals) and Peanut butter choco chip granola bar (100 cals)
7:30 6 pieces of vine leaves with rice stuffed, 1 scrambled egg, and ounce (few cubicles) of low fat halloumi cheese w/olives topped with olive oil.
10:00-10:30 1 rice cake with PB
Are calories balanced for the day?

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Looks ok. 12:30 meal wasn't the best with the mayo and white bread. Good job on skipping the fries and soda there though. The half a granola bar at 10:40 wasn't totally necessary. The 4:30 meal could probably use a bit more protein and fewer carbs. Not sure how many carbs/protein is in the yogurt. Rest of the meals look fine.
Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
I know the 12:30 meal could've been better. Eh. At least I'm saying no fries 90% of the time, so that's good, right?cassiegose wrote:Looks ok. 12:30 meal wasn't the best with the mayo and white bread.

The yogurt I have is about 6g of protein, 5g of fat, 9g of carbs, it has 0 sugars...The pot is 109 calories.
Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
That's not bad yoghurt. The Fat is probably some Saturate, but I would expect from the 5g to at least have 1g unsaturates / Omegas I would think, but obviously I don't know.
Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Yeah, it has 3.3 sat.fat...a lot probably? but it has 0.1 sodium, so it's good.Boss Man wrote:That's not bad yoghurt. The Fat is probably some Saturate, but I would expect from the 5g to at least have 1g unsaturates / Omegas I would think, but obviously I don't know.
