Day 312

Trying more harder to track calories and nutrition now, of course i can still only do rough and approx for things like per 100g: but il do best.

Breakfast 8 30 am

Protein scoop, 90 cal, 23g protein, id say 200ml of semi skimmed milk, so about 100 cals, = 29.8g protein, 10.8g carb.
3x wheatabix id say about 38g carbs, with 200ml milk, about 10g worth of protein, = 40g protein in total, and 60g carbs.

Calories, protein shake - 200, wheatabix, probably 355, so 555 calories.

Ill give the legs and shoulders a go today, and then biceps and back tomorow, quick question do the shoulders really need a seperate workout? Of course i want to gain them too, but they're a small muscle group?

11 20am: Can of chick peas, 240g net weight, per 100g = 76 cal, 5g protein, 13g carb, 0.8g fat.

So roughly going to go with 250g so i can work it out, 190cals, 12.5g protein, 33.5g carb, 1.6g fat.

Had some grapes before workout, again hard to workout the nutrition as 1/5 a pack was 64 calories and i think about 17% sugar, so maybe 60 calories from this.

Workout - Shoulders + Legs

Actually got a piece of paper and pen and wrote down the exercises i was doing so i now know what to type and not half hearted remembering, so in this order:

Legs By the way im aware deadlifts aren't just legs and that they work multiple muscles :)
4 sets of Deadlifts, (50kg barbell)Reps 8-9

Then while i had the barbell loaded up did a set of military press (38kg) did 7 reps as there was a click in left shoulder and don't want to overwork these as there a small muscle group and if i seriously injure them i won't be able to workout most of body for a while, so reduced the weight to 29kg - 2 sets reps 8-10
Back to legs:
4 sets of squats 20kg dumbbells x2, reps 10
4 sets of lunges 20kg dumbbells x2, reps 10 (5 per leg)

Did 4 sets instead of 3 for the leg exercises as i was doing more shoulder exercises and wanted to balance it out more.

Shoulders:
3 sets of shoulder shrugs 20kg dumbbells x2, reps 10.
3 sets of seated dumbbell press 14kg dumbbells x2, reps 6-7
3x reverse flys 5kg dumbbells x2, reps 7 - note when i was doing this both tops of shoulders were clicking a bit, just hope i haven't injured them.
3 sets of side raises, 8kg dumbbells x2, reps 6-7.

I feel it went well, at first when i went to do deadlifts and found it hard i was feeling down, but maybe i shouldn't be so harsh on myself as i feel that went alright.

Had a slice of "Granary bread" seaded sort of and looked brown to me, again no nutrition information on label, but done a bit of reserarch and probably 60 calories there, 11g carb, 2.3g protein, 0.6g fat, 1g fibre. Source: http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/ca ... bakery.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I hope im doing well :D Going to look for something to eat now, seeing as shopping has came, i have a few cans of chilli con carne, only thing about this is it has some sugars, but not tons like sodas etc, just a little, should i worry about this, i mean i know you said try 2 pieces of fruit a day, but where should i draw the lines with the amount of sugar? Sorry if im bothering any of you, you don't have to reply.

4 slices of hovis wholemeal bread per slice = 57cal, 2.5g protein 9.7g carb x 4 = 228 cal, 10g protein, 38.8g carb.
chunky chicken pieces, id say i had bout half a pack = 32.5g protein, 150cal
Had cottage cheese with onions mixed in it, and by a bit i mean just a small amount like a knifefull on a bit of bread or so, so lets say 60 calories here bout 7g protein perhaps. So yeah this is a kinda high protein meal, but was after workout. Could of had just one sandwich (2slices) but then would be hungry quite quickly after. Spose it's not a terrible idea having it shortly after a workout too, again apologies if it seems im flooding this thread.

438 cal, 49.5g protein, 38.8g carb.

Little sore and aching under right knee to the side, the thin bone, other than that im ok. Im just worried because i feel the workout went fine and nutrition so far is good, however where right leg is hurting a little im thinking, if all im doing is injuring myself i will be so mad and probably quit this. :(

Another slice of granary bread.

Dinner - can of Lancaster Chilli con carne: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Images/E ... 051086.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hope this is ok - 360 calories, 20g protein, 47.2g carb, 11.2g fat however it doesn't say carbs as sugar so heres the ingredients if it helps:
Tomato Puree, Water, Kidney Beans (Kidney Beans, Water, Modified Starch, Salt), Minced Beef, Dried Onion, Modified Maize Starch, Paprika, Sugar, Wheat Flour, Salt, Malt Vinegar, Soy Sauce (Water, Soyabean, Salt, Wheat Flour, Sugar, Colour (E150a), Preservative (E202)), Cumin, Garlic Powder, Red Pepper.

Pack of dry roasted salted peanuts - 300calories, 24g fat, 14.5g protein.

See, this had alot of fat in the meal, but of course healthy fats, could probably have a protein shake later to finish off the 2500 calories, il try and find out TDEE again, ive got to be careful not to get fat around the , as i have quite alot of free time, and tomorow will be the 3rd weight day in a row i don't want to get fat, as i tried so hard to lose some, i probably have made changes as i can see feint 6 pack and i never used to, brothers just said to me how skinny i was, im not skinny, and i feel if i did put on weight it would come straight back to the , so ive got to watch it. Does TDEE sound about right? I exercise everweek - about 5'9 or 5'10, and about 155lbs.

Again i am sorry to flood this, next il leave the working out of calories etc out.

9:45pm, protein shake with semi skimmed milk.

Day 313

8 30 am: Breakfast, Protein shake with semi skimmed milk- id say about 30g protein, 200 cal, 10g carbs.
3 shreaded wheat with semi skimmed milk, say about 350 cals, 42g carbs, 11g protein.

550cal 54g carb, 41g protein.

All this working out writing down etc is making me think alot more using head and causing me unnecessary stress if im honest with you guys, i mean i don't want to end up worrying so much that i have some sort of disorder, seeing as it's a fairly healthy breakfast anyway.

Banana - 95 cal, 23g carb/20g sugar.

Going to do back and biceps workout in a little while, after ive eaten something before, by the way i was going to mention this yesterday but had already flooded you with information, this weekend there's a party, alot of friends will be there that i haven't seen for months, and im most probably going to be drinking, he's having a bbq too i think but im not stupid im not going to be stuffing face with burgers, so in regards to this, what should i do on the day (saturday) cardio or weights? And should i cut back on calories seeing as im going to be drinking? Like eat small calorie foods but high protein so i still get the protein which i needed? The next day i know il be doing cardio anyway (stationary bike) to make up for it, i know it's bad to drink, but i haven't for like 5 weeks, which is over a month, i don't think that's bad seeing as im 18? So, i doubt one night should affect progress if i get back to routine straight after?

Can of red kidney beans and a slice of hovis wholemeal bread - 305 calories, 19.5g protein bout 49g carbs.

Workout
Back
3 sets of pull ups reps 7-8
3x barbell rows (44kg, normally 50kg, but i felt i could use better form with a little less weight) - reps 7-8.
3x Dumbbell rows - 22kg, reps 8-9.
Biceps
3x Barbell curls (24kg) reps 6-8.
3x Hammer curls - 12kg each struggled with these for some unknown reason - only managed 3-4 reps.
3x Barbell reverse curls (14kg), reps 8,5,6. On the second set right forearm felt as if it was going to burst.

But yeah did the workout so feel good, back to cardio tomorow for maybe the next 2 days if its still best to do full body on the saturday, going to get something to eat soon as im feeling a little hungry.

2 slices of wholemeal bread - 114 cals, 5g protein, 19.4g carbs, knifefull of peanut butter (to spread bread) so id say about 90 cals, 2g protein, 4g fat possibly, and a few pieces of chunky chicken, id say this meal was about 300 cals, 24-25g protein, it's hard to workout when it's by 100g and im having only some of it, but i think im roughly on track, and not way off.

Can of chick peas in salted water - 17.5g protein,57.7g carbs, 2.3g fat. 320 calories.

So about 900 calories left and have to get around 60g of protein, so probably have a protein drink or some meat, fish.

By the way, not sure if this site is accurate, but just worked out TDEE on there and it says that mine is 2944? I used the moderatly active one too, which didn't seem quite right as it was same as the example they gave (singing and dancing) lol.

Had a rivita slice (wholegrain, oats, seeds) ment to be a healthy thing - 45 calories, 1.6g protein, 7g carbs, 1.2g fat.
And the last of the chicken pieces.

Dad cooking a chilli con carne i asked him what he was putting in it and he said peppers, chilli, red kidney beans, onions mushrooms, and i think if hes going to put a bit of beef mince in hes going to drain the fat, or i just won't eat alot of it, ive already had red kidney beans today but hopefully eating some more won't do no harm, again only problem with this is i don't know the nutritional information but i doubt its over 300 calories, so probably have it and maybe a protein drink later whilst having a bit of fruit or so inbetween.

:)

Had some of the dinner - too much mince for likeing, so ate most of the beans and what i could - a bit of rice that was on the plate, must of ate maybe a 1/8, not alot.

And a slice of wholemeal bread, small bit of cottage cheese, again the probably being i don't know the nutrition exactly as it's in stuff like 100gs, i was wondering how you guys deal with that?

Probably have like 3 whole eggs later when im a bit hungry, then maybe a protein shake.

Actually, think il give the eggs a miss, as im unsure of the calories in some of the dinner i had, but il have a protein shake in a hour or so when im hungry, plus if i had the eggs, id prob be too full to have the shake, still think im getting enough protein anyways.

By the way, i know you recommend brown rice, but what's so bad about white rice/grain rice, plenty of chinese people have it.

Do the normal routine the day of the bbq. You can cut back on calories a little if you feel its necessary, but as you said keep protein the same. Go to the bbq and have fun... I would just have controlled fun... like have a couple of drinks and try to make the healthiest choices with the food. Its about balance.

I read the package of the bread and the cottage cheese to see what the nutrition label says. I measure cottage cheese so I know that i'm having a cup or 1/2 of a cup instead of "a bit" this way I know how much i'm eating and how many calories. For foods that don't have nutrition labels i look online... then i have journal that I record the info in so i don't have to continually look up the same food info online.

MartinBoy wrote:By the way, i know you recommend brown rice, but what's so bad about white rice/grain rice, plenty of chinese people have it.
Brown rice has more fiber and is less processed than white rice... kind of like white bread vs brown bread.

Honestly Martin if simply working out and writing down your food is causing you this much stress then you are going to have a rude awakening when you get out into the 'real world'. You constantly complain about wanting to change... if this is truly the case then working out and tracking your food should make you feel like youre accomplishing something. You complain about not meeting your goals then you complain about having to do the things that are necessary to meet those goals. I just don't get it.

Youre not doing bad Martin, not at all. However you said that the "working out writing down etc is making me think alot more using head and causing me unnecessary stress if im honest with you guys, i mean i don't want to end up worrying so much that i have some sort of disorder"... Which kind of sounded like you were complaining that the working out and writing down your nutrition stuff was causing you unnecessary stress. It shouldn't cause you stress. I realize that it is extra work however the only way to truly know how many calories/carbs/protein/fat youre putting in your body is track it. :D

You need to trust yourself more. Questioning yourself sometimes is fine, or even questioning a process, but when it gets too frequent, it looks like you lack belief in anything, to just knuckle down and do it solidly for a few weeks, for fear of doing it wrong or screwing up.

It is a learning process, but it's also a trust process. Trust in yourself that you can actually make a few things you learn work for you, instead of expecting at some point for the house of cards to fall around you.

This ultimately can be holding you back, if you say things like "I did X today; not sure if it worked what do you think?" "I might do X but I'm not sure it will be worth it, any thoughts?" "Nothing has happened for 4 days since I started doing X, is this normal?"

Just believe in yourself more, that you won't make a tit of yourself, when you try to eat and train right for longer than 3 days. You don't need to question almost everything you're doing. You've been doing this for around 1+ years now, so you should be past all the slew of rookie beginner style questions and concerns now and be more understanding of some things that do and don't benefit you, so you can even try experimenting with a few things by yourself and trust in yourself to do them for a good 2-3 weeks at least, without worrying it's all in vain.

If they are, Then you learn from that as well. That's why people like me wasted 3-5 weeks in tha past, doing Pyramid training and stuff like drop sets, to learn it's not worth bother.

Now after 11 years I do what I know works for me and I tweak if I feel like it.

Just keep living it and don't be so concerned or quizzical as much as you are being okay :).

Thanks for the feedback guys, and i think you're right, i do need to believe in myself more, however saying that i have learnt a hell of alot from you guys, so thanks, ive taken a good interest in health and fitness from starting this, something that i never even used to think about :)

Day 314

Breakfast the same as yesterday, so like you said, no need to work out the nutrition again, which i can see comes in handy, only thing is the semi skimmed milk im using, but im pretty much using the same amount every day.

So, same as yesterday: 550cal 54g carb, 41g protein.

Did 20mins interval on stationary bike cardio.

I know it says 20mins intervals because the actual time is 20mins, but it's only 10mins that you're going fast? As the minutes inbetween are basically slow/rest. Although im out of breathe and sweating, is this as effective as 40mins? Intervals target fat more? Another thing is, whilst doing it, particuarly the intervals, i feel really chesty at the bottom of throat/top of chest, could be to do with hayfever i guess but i feel it did affect performance and limited me abit. Just hope i can stay in pretty decent shape and not get any fatter, burned 325 cals according to the reading, so probably about 162calories, which seems more realistic. I am really determined, i wish i could show you somehow, but i have defintely improved, cardio i used to do it on number 1/8, now it's 3/8, so still an improvement and i feel nutrition has improved alot, hopefully this is the start of something big :D Sorry to keep going on and on, guess it's just a sign of needing to become more independent. Still, where i have alot of free time, don't have to worry about doing cardio now as it's done for the day, hopefully this time next year i will be twice as good as what i am now.

Just sound like a bit of a hypocrite saying im really determined and all when im going out the weekend, but everything in moderation right? :)

Handful of grapes.
Slice of wholemeal bread - 57 calories, 2.5g protein 9.7 carbs, there's some yougurts downstairs that are ment to be natural ingredients and look quite nice, but im not sure i should have them as there not that good unless the sugar isn't added?
Going to do 3 pouched eggs in a minute, if that's how u spell them (like boiled eggs) but taste better in opinion.

3 pouched eggs, not sure of calories im assuming around 240, and 21g protein/15gfat.

Now this is to do with personal life, i don't understand, im so aggressive lately, miserable i feel alright in myself, but the tiniest of things makes me angry, and it's affecting relationships with family.

Can of red kidney beans, added a bit of ketch up and pepper for taste, 250cals, 17g protein, 40g carb.

Hi Martin,

One of favorite quotes is "They can because they think they can". Like Bossman said, you just need to believe in yourself more! If you go through life not believing in yourself then you will continually set yourself up for failure. However if you tell yourself that you WILL suceed and that you CAN do this then you will have much better results. After all, if you don't believe in yourself why should anybody else?

Yes the 20 minutes of intervals is 10 slow and 10 fast. If that doesn't feel like enough you can always do more. At the end of that 20 minutes you should feel like you're worked HARD.

One medium sized egg has about 70 calories, 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat.

This aggression, anger is energy spilled over - you are allowing it to go "negative". Redirect this energy into the iron or into the bike or whatever and turn it into a positive.
Thanks, i sometimes notice that it helps performance for weights, but when im not doing them it's hard.

2 slices wholemeal bread 114 cal, 5g protein, 19.9g carb, with a bit of peanut butter (knife full) so id say around 100 cals, and some chicken pieces - 20g protein.

300 cal 27g protein 20g carbs.

It's 7 30 pm and suprisingly i still need 1100 calories, so had a protein shake with semi skimmed milk - 250 cals 30g protein, will have something else soon.

Wholemeal slice x2 = 114 cal, 5g protein, 19.9g carb, bit of cottage cheese 50 cal, 7g protein, some chicken and a pear.

260 cal 28g protein.

Had few slices of bread about 4, as i was hungry and trying to fill it but hungar wasn't going, had a actimel yogurt - 125 cals, 5g protein, only thing is about 15% sugar, but again, it's not as bad as the sugar from choclate and candy i guess?

Moderation? Actimel yougurts ment to be good for you anyways.
Slice of granary bread.

Day 315

Breakfast, protein shake with semi skimmed milk, 3 shredded wheat with semi skimmed milk.

550cal 54g carb, 41g protein

Did 3 sets of crunches before as i don't really seem to workout abs, reps varied - 30, 14, 15.

40mins stationary bike cardio - burned 674 cals which seems quite high, so id say about half is 337.

Can of red kidney beans and about 1/5 of cottage cheese - 298 calories, 25g protein bout 44g carbs.

Going to make a journal on computer (write down some of the foods i already know, for example kidney beans, protein shake, and hopefully build it up so it's easier than working it out in head :)

By the way, is there a type of sauce that's good for you, instead me using little bits of ketchup, i know it aint terrible but not great, ive heard of something called salsa? Looked in the freezer and saw what would be a good meal - 350 cals, 35g protein, but about 14g sugar and fat - 21%. Which isn't no good, because ive read somewhere to eat meals where only 10%of their calories are from fat.

4 slices of wholemeal bread - 228 cals, 10g protein, 39g carbs, can of plummed tomatos, 80 cal, 4.8g protein, 14g carb, some cottage cheese, 40 cal 5.5g protein

348 cal 20.3g protein 53g carb.

Hi Martin,

Making a food journal online with nutrition info from foods you typically eat is a GREAT idea!!! Good for you!!!

Ketchup isn't terrible for you but it does have sugar added to you. Salsa is great! I eat a TON of salsa. Mustard is also good (I love spicy brown mustard). Hot sauce is also good. I'm not sure if you have it over there but I buy a ton of Valentinos hot sauce. Its not overly hot and has a nice flavor.

Nice job friend!

Just got in from camping, had no sleep and been starving all night, it's 5:48 am, friends went mcdonalds i was so tempted but only got a diet coke as i knew id be home soon and would be drinking tonight.

Going to have protein shake and breakfast then go to bed bit of a mess up but hopefuly il be ok and can do weights i have no energy right now.

Just got up, not sure how long ive had to sleep, but id say at least 6 hours, just had a shower to try wake myself up. Going to have can of chilli con carne, not sure what to do about weights as i know perfomance is going to be limited, just hope i can stay awake for tonight, time for a strong cofee i think.

Can of chilli con carne - 48g carb 360 cal, 10g fat, 20g protein.

Did workout, tried best but really not sure if it was useful, but at least i gave it a shot instead of just doing nothing.

Bench press barbell 54kg - 3 sets reps 6-7
3 sets pull ups reps 7-8
3 sets chair dips - 4-6
3 sets barbell 25kg curls, 3 sets reps 8
3 sets dumbell shoulder shrugs 20kg reps 10
3 sets lunges 20kg dumbbells 3 sets reps 10 (5 per leg) legs felt sore whilst doing this though and wasn't completley stable.

But yeah least i gave it a go, after tonight and done cardio tomorow should be good to carry on routine on monday i hope, so i hope tonight doesn't affect me too much, going to have some prawns in a bit, and then nearer the time i go out 2 chicken breasts, so not eaten loads of calories to make up for some that im getting from alcohol, and still getting a fair amount of protein, so i do hope these couple nights don't affect me, shouldn't do as it's in moderation.

A good thing about last night is all of friends said i looked good like, one said ive made progress and that i probably don't see it myslef but i have, which motivates me a little and is good :)

Dinner - 2 chicken breasts, mash and greens, off out now.

Back, had 6 cans of carslberg.
It's 4:24 Am, better get some rest and back to routine tomorow, i was quite emotional tonight.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?

Day 316

think those 6 beers added up to around 1200 calories, didn't have many calories the day before so probably not too bad, but of course they have no nutirional value.

Going to do cardio soon, feel dizzy andd not all there, like im going to stumble and fall over, going to aim to do 40mins, but im not sure if i'll be able to do it as fast as normal, and hope i can get straight back to routine tomorow!

Breakfast, protein shake with ssemi skimmed milk, shreaded wheat with semi skimmed milk.


coffee

40mins stationary bike cycling cardio. According to the reading i did 14.9 miles, 674 calories, so going to look at about 337 roughly, as 674 seems inaccurate.

Handful of red grapes, few pieces of cooked ham
Can of red kidney beans: 217 calories, 19g protein, 31.5g carb, 5.5g sugar, 1.7g fat.

Slice of wholemeal bread.

Dinner - brocolli, mixed vegetables, roast potatoes, and 2 chicken portions, with a bit of gravy

:)

By the way, when i move left arm back and fourth slowly, it still clicks, elbow, is this something i should be concerned about?

Couple handfuls of oats, some semi skimmed milk for taste, and ham slices.
