This is very true! However, after being an athlete all my life and now finding myself in an office for 10 hours every day before I train is very difficult. SOme may love that idea, as it allows them to bulk, rest and put on mass, but I have the need to do something first thing in the morning. I've tried to cut back, so I switched to 10.5 ramp and 3.0-3.5 speed, but this is pretty taxing. Not sure if it's because I am exremely overtrained and burned out, but I am zonked for a few hours post......I just would like to have a concrete diet in place, one that will allow me to put on lean mass and not worry about at gain chubbyness!
My am shake this morning was
1 fish oil tab
1/2 tsp of flax
1 scoop casein
1 cup egg whites
large coffee (all fats and protein)
next meal will be 1 cup of oats, 6 egg whites and a scoop of casein (all carbs and protein)
I would so much LOVE to just go to QUiznos and get a couple footlongs for lunch, then go train, then eat all night, but my body and mind say no way!
Here in lies the biggest problem I have mentally aside from losing the abs (shit, anyone can have abs at 160, I look anerexic but cant beat it) I eat my final meal of the day as I lay down and watch tv and zonk out for the night. So, this tyhpically is 5 minutes before I actually turn the lights out. Thats why I do am cardio, because my mind says since I ate so late, I need to go burn it off. I used t have a huge bowl of cottage cheese, a slew of veggies and ff dip, about 20-25 peanuts in the shell, and a huge casein shake. Prob. way too many calories huh, but I been starving myself all day cause I love this meal and want to be able to consume it. It's def. my favorite meal of the day and one I look forward to. it's post workout, it's while I relax, and it's just "fun" to eat.........is this bad? Too many cals? Are the peanuts and veggies a bad idea? WIll this result in fat gain?
