1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese

Meal #2 - 12:00 noon (sharp!)

1/2 cup cottage cheese

Meal #3 - 3:00pm

1/2 cup cottage cheese

Workout tonight will be cardio 40 minutes, triceps & abs (did several body parts last night so I'll give them a rest)

I will take my measurements this weekend and post all of my stats again.
ANyone know of a site that can estimate body fat (just for now until I get it done properly).

Thats all for now,

There are a few out there. Just do a search on it and you should be able to pull up quite a few. I don't know any off the top of my head.

CONGRATS on starting the log! I feel lost without mine now!

Welcome!

My Body Comp allows you to track bodyfat. Usually, these estimators are WAY off. If I were you, I'd use it to track measurements so that you can be sure that you are making the progress that you'd like to make. And, it will allow you to look back and see what worked and didn't work at a specific time period.

Good luck!

Quick substitution:


For my 3:00pm meal instead of 1/2 cup cottage cheese & 1oz almonds I am having:

1/4 cup whole oats made with water & 1/2 scoop protein powder


I'll have my 1oz almonds about 45 minutes before I hit the gym tonight.



Is it ok to have something small like that 45 minutes before a workout??

One other thing besides the question above:

This is the first day of my period (yay). Will that affect my workout at all?

I think each person is different. For me I seem to stay exhausted for the duration of my period. I've added extra iron for several days and it seems to help me.

BMI - my gym does body fat testing for $10. I have mine scheduled for Saturday morning.
