ACDC's Food Journal
Today's Food Journal:
Monday
10am (late start on day) Apple, boiled egg, and almond cookie
12pm: Catfish, steamed broccoli and spinach
2pm: Beef jerkey (didn't like it, but I was really hungry)
3pm: half a grapefruit
6pm: Boiled egg
8pm: Tilapia, steamed spinach, water
Yes, I know I should probably have a bigger breakfast and I should do away with the fruit in the afternoon - I'll try eating it only in the mornings. I'm also going to add hot salsa to breakfast/lunch, and snack on veggies instead of fruit. I'll do better tomorrow. I did, however, pack more fish and veggies in lunch

I agree with Clare.....please check out the diet and nutrition section on this forum and read the sticky. Speking from experience, I gained muscle mass by increasing protein, and carbs , and doing very minimal amounts of cardio as sepcified by trainer. You need more protein in the morning and why are you at the gym for 2.5 hours?

2.5 hours includes commuting to the gym, changing, etc. So i'm really only working out for an hour to hour and a half. Yea, I do need to add protein and carbs, I'll pick up more eggs, oatmeal, bananas, veggies and protein bars today. So far I'm on track with diet except I had 5 pieces of chocolate covered almonds Which amounted to atleast 400 calories
Yeh i agree 0 dont worry about the odd cheat. If you are the kind to go mad when you are deprived then maybe you should allow a small treat each day into your calories. I know if i try not to eat at night i will go silly. So i always have toast at night. Always have, always will. And it doesnt do me any harm.
Also as rk said - limit to an hour max for workout. If you are lifting and working hard enough you shouldnt be able to do more anyway.

Thanks for the advice, guys! So after eating chocolate covered almonds, I stuck to plan and had fish, spinach, black beans (just bought them today, they are soo good!) and hot salsa (to make it more tasty and force me to drink more water). Gum has been helping me stay on track.
I'd really like to buy some protein bars, but I'm allergic to a lot of things including peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, but not almonds!! So if anyone knows of a tasty protein bar with almonds, let me know. Oh, and I'm actually not suppose to be eating chocolate, I get itchy from it, so I'm trying to cut that from diet...its so hard when its so good. I usually just use hydrocortisone or take bendryl so I can eat chocolate!!
I also bought lentils, more eggs and I'll be picking up some veggies tomorrow (finished spinach today). Ahh lets hope I stick to healthy eating with the help of this site and self discipline.
