My training and diet log.

Right, I'm in the gym on the stationary bike reading posts on EF on my phone! I'm thinking I'll do a MetCon today to test oxygen4energy on the recovery, I usually collapse afterward and don't get up for a few minutes to recover. Maybe this'll mean I don't have to wait so long.…. I'll let you know.

Just done 6 mins of the MetCon. As per usual I was seriously out of breath by the time I'd finished. 5 pulls on oxygen4energy and I'm nearly back to normal breathing already. I'd say that's shaved 2-3 mins off my recovery time!

New years day! Stayin in with the Mrs. Watching TV. We don't usually get a Sunday together as she works Sundays. No training today but I'm seriously looking forward to getting back to it tomorrow. Starting 5x5 and I'll get to test out oxygen4energy kickboxing. Not a bad start to the new year.

Happy new year to all!!!

Thanks bro. It's actually nice to use lighter weights for a change. It won't last though lol!

Water, check
Diet, check.
I plan to keep my protein at 200g per day as I'm still 26% bf (didn't get fat over Christmas) I plan on doing cardio on off days as well as boxing/kickboxing rather than reduce cals as I have been recently.

 

[Colstreamer]

Diet for today.
2,956 calories total
Carbs: 47% 350g
Fats: 20% 68g
Protein: 33% 244g

I think I've excelled myself today!
Well under my max fat intake and well over my min protein intake. A few hundred cals over my max advised daily intake as I'm trying to drop fat but the cardio should take care of that.
