So I know you are supposed to take pictures of the food you ate on Tuesday and post it on Wednesday, but I totally forgot and then saw a whack load of WIAW posts and was all… OOOOooooOOOOoooo I can still do this. So this is a WIAW of what I actually ate on Wednesday 🙂
Breakfast
Morning “Snack” which I definitely forgot to pack and thus was stuck drinking lots o’ water and my yummy coffee – don’t do this!
Lunch
Afternoon Snack
Pre workout stuff
Dinner – I took pictures of the cooking to show that I almost NEVER cook just one portion of things. I don’t do a massive food prep like lots of people do on Sundays, instead I just double, triple or quadruple whatever I am having for dinner.
So because I forgot my snack I actually under ate despite the gigantic chicken breast for dinner. I may make some protein sludge a la Muffin Topless before bed to make up some of the calories. If you are hungry on a diet, you’re doing it wrong!
So totals for the day:
Calories – 1160 (way under my allotted 1500 – 1700 – not good) Protein – 135 grams (spot on) Fat – 53 grams (good) Carbs – 33 grams (Holy crap! What?)
Oh and I also did a 20 minute run, which was supposed to be 30 minutes but I was super drained (possibly from the complete lack of carbs and the missed morning snack) and stepped off at 22 minutes. Followed by a KILLER leg workout where I set a new PR of 185 pound squat 6RM! You should have seen the smile on my face! However I tried to follow that up with deadlifts which seems mysteriously difficult after that… hmmmm.

I see you have one of those blender bottles, would you recommend it?
Highly!!! They are the best. I have 3 plus a mini one. Just make sure that you rinse them out well after using protein powder, especially in the crevice in the lid because it catches the whey and gets smelly.
Nice one!
Read “your story”… wow! You are very much an inspiration! Keep up the great work & hope you do better with adding the necessary calories/carbs, moving forward! It really helps with your workouts, as I’m sure you know! Also, thanks for the S/O on the related article!
