It’s been over seven months since I have started this journey and I have been tweaking my transformation and modifying my plan along the way to get to where I am today. This week’s update also brings some changes. 1) I am no longer going to track waist size. My waist hasn’t changed a bit [...]
Today was another turkey day. Every time I have turkey I get great results in terms of protein. Apparently turkey is just awesome for protein intake. I’m not even sure if I should mention what I had for breakfast. If you had guessed yogurt and nuts you guessed right. For lunch I went out with [...]
As great as all the days this week has been with my nutrition today was a semi-failure. I wouldn’t call it a complete failure just not as good as the rest of the days. I still managed to stay solid on my calories but my protein intake has suffered. Why? Because of red meat. I [...]
It is almost unimaginable but I have managed to eat 140 grams of protein while only eating 1,253 calories. And I did it with whole foods and without supplements. I just can’t believe it. How did I do it? I started out with a late but solid breakfast that included two eggs, 2 oz of [...]
Today was just perfect again in terms of nutrition. I have managed to eat 20% fat, 40% carb and 40% protein which is fantastic. My saturated fat was only 2.2% which is also superb. I’m very happy with today’s food intake. The morning was my well established boring yogurt with nuts, I just can’t find [...]
Today’s eating was great. Until I have decided to eat dessert after dinner. It was stupid peer pressure from my wife who made something called Raspberry Delight. It’s basically Graham Cracker crust, raspberries in raspberry jello and finally covered with a marshmallow whipped cream topping. I added up all the ingredients and it came out [...]
Today was another perfect day on calories. That is if you don’t care about sodium and cholesterol. Sodium was a bit high with 2,500 mg but not terrible. Cholesterol was through the roof but I’m not too concerned with cholesterol I eat, I’m more concerned with cholesterol in my blood and I’m not convinced about [...]
Today was good in terms of calories and not so good in terms of protein. The reason why it was good on the calories is that I ate no snacks and decent meals. The reason why it was bad in terms of protein is because I ate no snacks and decent meals. Since 40 grams [...]
What a perfect day! At least on the eating front. I managed to eat 1,400 calories and still eat almost 140 g of protein. Let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it sounds. 140 grams of protein contains 560 calories. So that leaves me with only 840 calories for carbs and fats. And [...]
I’m still trying to keep up my weight loss pace so I’m trying to cut calories. Today I managed to come in at 1,404 which included eating out for lunch. I had smoked turkey with green beans and corn on the cob. For dinner I ate my wife’s mini meatloaves that I really like. My [...]
