i never really count up calories ...and today i had quite a big breakfast. so i counted the total up, and it was like 600 calories. which to me doesnt seem all that large. how many calories do you guys get in the mornings?

(my breakfast was like 50 grams of protein in the form of chicken, half of an onion, a bowl of fiber one cereal which contained 4 servings..so like 240 calories and 48 grams of carbs, and then a bowl of oatmeal which had 100 calories 18 grams of carbs.)

well i have been dieting for like a year and a half..so i never eat alot. i could eat an endless amount of food, sf...i just never allow myself to.

so, since breakfast this morning, which was at about 8:30, i went to class which started at 9:30 and gets out at like 11:00, then on the way to my next class i took two bcaa's and soem green tea extract with a diet soda. that class just got out at 12:50, and at 1:00 once i got bak to the main campus i ate a can of tuna and one 100 calorie packet of oatmeal (19 grams carbs, three of which are fiber and 0 of which are sugar) with another diet soda.

i wont eat again until after my next class which gets out at 330, but i wont be getting home untill probably 400...

i normally dont have the packet of oatmeal with the tuna, and i normally dont have nearly as many calories or carbs at breakfast... i eat like this every day i have class.

i guess i really dont eat a whole lot of food when i am out doing things.
when am at home with nothing to do i will catch myself eating every half hour if im not careful... but luckily i never eat anything but meats and veggies, or diet foods like sugar free jello or diet soda.. today was the first day i ate any wheat products(the bran cereal and the oatmeal) in about a month..

lol...

I get 90-250.

why are you eating both Fiber One cereal AND oatmeal?

candidizzle · « **Reply #6 on:** November 27, 2007, 04:28:17 PM »

because after eating the bowl of fiber one, i was still hungry, and felt like having oatmeal. =)

so i just got done eating my 400 meal i predicted i would have earlier... it was two 20 gram chicken breasts, one whole onion, and a half a head of cauliflower.

fucck i'd be shitting half the day eating that much fiber.

Emmortal · « **Reply #8 on:** November 27, 2007, 05:09:57 PM »

I shit 3 times a day and don't eat that much fiber.

candidizzle · « **Reply #9 on:** November 27, 2007, 06:11:06 PM »

on a normal day i eat over 5 lbs of broccoli(half of broccoli is fiber) and at least 5-8 low carb tortillas(10 grams carbs 8 grams of which are fiber)....i eat a shit load of fiber. and thats not counting all of the bell peppers, onions, and nightly salad i eat.

dizzle...whatever happened to your ketogenic diet??

did it not work

candidizzle · « **Reply #12 on:** November 27, 2007, 11:14:36 PM »

no it worked. but heres the deal... while your not as hungry on a zero carb diet, you just dont get too eat enough. with a diet that includes carbs, i am alloud unlimited veggies, sugar free jello, diet drinks that contain aspartame, and i can overeat on protein without worrying about glucoegnises spiking my blood sugar levels and kicking me out of ketosis. i prefer not having too worry about the carbs in my cayenne pepper, or the hint of maltodextrin in diet green tea... and like i said, i eat soooo much fucking food right now; yet im still getting leaner, because i just keep my carbs to veggies

Pete Nice · « **Reply #13 on:** November 28, 2007, 11:05:51 AM »

glucogenosis occurs when exactly? When you consume over 40g of protein in a meal??

Is this the Dan DuChaine diet you are trying right now??

candidizzle · « **Reply #14 on:** November 28, 2007, 02:38:08 PM »

well it doesnt have a set "occur point". it will occur if there is too few carbs in your body, if there is too much protein in your body. what is too little carbs, and what is too much protein is all very dependant on many variables, like hieght and weight, and what type of diet you are accustomed to, and what you are physically asking your body to do at the moment(energy demands)..

but on average iw oudl say that its around 40 grams, yes

What's with the onions?

candidizzle · « **Reply #17 on:** December 01, 2007, 06:42:55 AM »

i like the way they taste, and i was all out of broccoli.

protein shake = 240 calories

bowl of oatmeal = 300 or so calories.

the end.

I start out with a bowl of fruity pebbles (or cinnnamon toast crunch) . If I am still hungry, I will have 1-4 more bowls. I also have an english muffin, making sure I use a fork to split it as to not flatten the nooks and crannies, which act as pockets to collect all the butter I use. I then may have a 50 gram shake. If theres any left overs from the night before, I may eat those as well. If I am still hungry, its back to the fruity pebbles, with 1% milk. If there happens tp be any eggs, bacon, scrapple, sausauge, toast, pancakes, home fries or french toast, then I will have some of that as well. Breakfast ROCKS!

since the origianal pot i have had the saem breakfast everymorning....i wake up, fry one half ofan oinion and one green onion with cayenne pepper, chili powder, and salt; then i remove the onions and cook 10 egg whites with cayenne, onion powder, and salt mixed in, then i pour the onions i cook before hand on top of the egg whites and make a omelet out of it. i put the omelete in a bowl, and chop it up into sort of a scrambled omelete..pour some more salt in, and then eat that. i dont drink anything untill after i eat the omelete, and then i drink a bunch of water with my morning supp's (mens multi vitamin, dhea, green tea extract, b vitamin complex, chromium, zinc, and two grams of fish oil.)

that works out to about 150 calories..

Most days (Sun, M, T, W, F, & Sat) breakfast is usually my biggest meal - about 750 calories or so. Thursday I work an early afternoon shift so if I train that day I eat very light before training. If I take the day off I'll eat a large breakfast.

candidizzle · « **Reply #24 on:** December 06, 2007, 03:14:04 PM »

this morning i had my usual 10 egg whites, but i mixed in one 20 gram chicken breast, and left out the onions. then i mixed in a shitload of cayeenne pepper, chili powder, crushed red pepper, and hot sauce from the mexican market downtown... normal morning supplementation; but before my psych class i bought a spike because i knew i was going to have my final today.. at 1115 i took 2 bcaas some green tea and a gram of fish oil, then at 130 i ate a can of tuna.. when i get home ill eat two 20 gram chicken breasts, take some green tea; wait an hour and half before drinking some no explode i got for free, wait a half hour, take my arginine akg+bcaas+green tea+yohimbe and go to the gym to train arms. when i get back ill have a 10 gram protein shake while i cook up another 10 egg whites; and after that ill replenish glycogen with my broccoli tacos that i make with raw broccoli low carb tortillas salsa and hot sauce. dinner will be salad, some chicken, and a bag or two of frozen green beans. then later on tonight i mmight have some sugar free jello, or some more broccoli tocaos. before bed two bcaa's.

what do you think about this kind of dieting/ its how ive been eating for a couple of weeks and it works really well. its easy for me to lean out this way, because i am a big nigth time eater..so goign really low in cal's in the early morning burns up alot of fat, and low carbs before my workout burns alot of fat, and dips farther into my glycogen stores for later on that night..so any carbs i eat fall right into my low glycogen tanks. because with my carb metabolism, if my glycogen is close to full, any free floating glucose will be stored as fat. (as a result of 15-16 years of intense overeating of processed sugars and trans-fats my body now overproduces insulin and high have much higher free floating levels of it..so any blood glucose above normal is strongly pushed towards storage; and since the only place to store carbs once muscular glycogen is full(aabout 750 grams of carbs) is fat cells... i am very prone to carbs being stored as fat.
