My Nutrition Journal

[BlondBomber]

I figured that since I have a training journal, I should also chronicle what I eat. Recently, I have started bulking after losing about 45 pounds. I have a naturally large appetite, so eating a shitload of food is not hard for me. I am 6'2'' and weigh 211 (after breakfast and passing two solids). Here is today so far..
Meal 1:
1. 5 eggs
2. 6 pieces turkey bacon
3. 2 c cooked oatmeal mixed w/1/4 c 2% milk&Splenda
4. 4 c coffee
5. multi
6. fish oil capsule
Meal 2:
1. 2 1/2 c (1 c raw) white rice
2. chicken breast
Meal 3:
1. 2 1/2 c white rice
2. chicken breast
Snack:
1. 2 Tbsp CarbControl PB mixed w/Splenda
Meal 4:
1. ~8 oz steak
2. 1 serving whole-wheat pasta w/olive oil spread&light parmesan sprinkle
3. heart of Romaine salad w/dressing
Meal 5:
1. 10 pieces Hooters 911 spicy wings
2. 3 draft glasses Heinken
Meal 6:
1. shrimp burrito
2. 24 oz Budweiser
3. CarbControl dessert

If you are in a bulking phase then I would cut out the four cups of coffee. At 150 mg of caffeine per 8 oz cup [brewed coffee] that is quite high. You shouldn't need a stimulant at that level.

Your BMR is 2207.1, so use that as a reference point in planning out your nutritional and workout routines.

I can see why you would recommend me cutting down the coffee. I am endo-mesomorphic, so any stimulants other than ephedra don't really affect me that much. I actually put about 5 lbs of muscle on when I smoked, but anyways, I have cut out the other coffee or tea that I had everyday when cutting, all diet sodas and dipping.
I might try to cut my morning coffee intake in half.
Good point.

I drank 3 2 quart containers of water during the day, more now that I have gotten home.
Taking my food today was really motivating. I really liked knowing what I was eating, and that I could eat it when I needed to. I probably saved about $20-30 dollars today not eating out, another added benefit.

hey bro if you don't mind me asking, why no protein pre-workout? Seems like you woulda wanna get some in there. Or is your 2nd meal pretty close to pre-wo?

All questions are welcome. I usually wait 1 to 1.5 hours after my second meal to train. I want to make sure that I am not bloated when I hit the weights.
What would you suggest?

 

[sublime35]

That sounds good to me. I wait 1.5 hrs after my 2nd meal before i workout. I was thinking your snack was like 3 hrs. after meal two. I know some that eat some fruit right before working out just for some extra energy. Since ur 2nd is so close I would say you're fine.

[JKurz1]

you are bulking bro...........no such thing as low carb days............get the cals in and drop the cardio...........

also, 1 cup raw steel cut? God that's got to be a HUGE bowl after it's cooked.......

 

[mrhoon]

Don't sweat the coffe man, if you drink it every day and have for awhile, its effect are severely diminished.

 

[mrhoon]

Hey man, your stats are similar to mine, except I'm trying to loose the 45 pounds. I'm 6'3" 260, and 21% bf. How long did it take you? Did you use ephedrine? What kind of diet, work out, cardio regimine did you follow. I'm on a plan of my own, but I will want to mix it up to keep things fresh.
Thanks

 

[BlondBomber]

I lost weight in two stages: 245ish to 225ish, then 225ish to 200ish. I never followed a structured program, like diet one way for 12 weeks. I just changed how I ate, started doing cardio and curbing my vices as much as I could.
I have used ephedrine in the past, but it didn't play a role in my weight loss. I actually find it easier to diet without stimulants. I think ephedrine is better for a workout booster. Feeling cracked out just fucks with me too much.
Anyways, I have a journal on the Weight Training board, so you can check that out.
I mainly follow a routine like this:
1: chest/biceps
Off
2: legs
3: delts/triceps
Off
4: back/calves
Off
Off
I follow the low-volume, high intensity protocol mostly. Reps 3-10 depending on what I am doing, mostly 6-8.
For cardio, I got a treadmill for Christmas, so I started doing it in the AM after I woke-up. When I got all the way down to 198 I was doing 45 minutes in the AM (4 mph, with an incline anywhere from 1-9%) and 45 after I worked out.
Currently, I was trying to bulk, but just do it because I get sick thinking I could gain any fat back, so I am just eating cleanly and just working out with weights.

As much as I enjoy drinking beer, you really need to nix the beer, bro. It counteracts what you're trying to do. It will help you put on weight, but the wrong kind. Alcohol has damaging effects for bbers.
