BioRhythm Diet / Typical Days Eating + Training Log 4/25/15
Thought I'd include some diet related stuff since you guys seem interested in that.
My bodyweight is currently hovering around 90kg and my goal is to maintain it while using the BioRhythm diet to Recomp / Consolidate my gains. Things have been going well for the past 2 weeks. I've had to increase my food intake quite a bit to avoid losing weight. At 3000kcals per day I began losing weight rapidly, so I've gradually increased it.
Here's todays diet log, which is pretty typical of most days, considering that I basically train everyday.
Breakfast (8am)(493kcal, 31 fat, 11 carbs, 40 protein)
6 Large Eggs
1 cup Green Beans
2 Fish Oil Pills
Lunch (12pm)(553kcal, 30 fat, 17 carbs, 54 protein)
Beef (140g)
1 cup Green Beans
1.5oz raw Almonds
2 Fish Oil Pills
Pre-Workout (4pm)(369kcal, 25 fat, 8 carbs, 29 protein)
Black Coffee
1 scoop Whey Isolate
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
30 Pistachios
Post Workout (6:30pm)(121kcal, 0 fat, 31 carbs, 1 protein)
1 Large Banana
Dinner (7:30pm)(1,751kcal, 5 fat, 350 carbs, 69 protein)
1 can Tuna
1 cup Black Beans
2 cups (Raw) White Rice (cooked in the rice cooker)
Dessert (8:30pm)(446kcal, 6 fat, 83 carbs, 15 protein)
1 cup Blueberries
1 cup rolled Oatmeal
Macro Totals: 3,733kcal, 97 fat, 500 carb, 54 fiber, 208 protein
