I think I am plateauing so my new gym plan is to shake things up by pushing more weight. I've fallen into a trap of flitting about the gym going from machine to machine looking for more of an anaerobic workout than a strength workout. The major benefit to pushing more weight is I will build muscle and look better, the down side is muscle weighs more than fat and the scale will provide fewer rewards short term.
5:00 Muscle Milk protein shake 150 calories.
7:30 3 egg whites, 3 oz Turkey sausage, 1/2 piece of wheat toast very small amount of potatoes. Cranberry juice 370 calories.
12:30 2 oz leftover steak meat, 6 ounces potatoes, 250 calories.
3:00 Bowl of mixed fruit, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries. 125 calories.
6:00 Chicken soup with mushroom and onion 200 calories.
9:00 one tablespoon peanut butter 100 calories. Edamame crackers 40 calories.
1,275 calories consumed less 200 for my early morning workout = 1,075 net calories on the day.
Dear Mike,
ReplyDeleteAs you build muscle, muscle consumer more calories than fat does so don't worry about that aspect. I'm amazed that you can eat so little. I bought some Myoplex Lite. It was at the store next to Muscle Milk, and I read the ingredients and found more nutrition in it. I had one this morning with a banana and didn't feel hungry after. Talk to you later,
Terry
I will look at the Myoplex Terry! I don't think 1,200 calories is enough but I don't go to bed hungry and I have more energy than I have experienced since college. Excellent tip on the banana/Myolex Lite drink.
