Everything looks good, just one thing, i've been to a few contest before with friends who were competing and they usually carbed up with stuff a little cleaner that the fast food. Usually waffles and stuff. If the whoppers and mcdonalds works for you, then don't mind me, just from my experience I have never seen those type of carb up meals. I usually see ice cream, waffles, pancakes and stuff of that nature. Just opinion. Best of luck! REDROCK

hehe, you can see that i've been heavily influenced by Mike_xxL.

I thought about going with a steak, french fries, and danish for my big fat load meal but i know mike goes with whoppers and i talked with a few guys around here and they all go with whoppers, so i figured it can't be much of a risk.

As far as the McDonald's meal, i talked to some guys around here and they'll go with 12 poached eggs instead, but mike_xxl suggested the mickey D meal and i trust him more than some of the guys i've been talking with.

I'm still lookin to get a couple more replies if i can, i'd like to see what Dr. D thinks, but i don't know how often he checks the boards any more.

Just messin around at the good ole dunkin donuts web site, probably a bad place to be at when you're dieting.

Anyways looks like i'll go with this donut for day of contest, and i'll eat 3 of em.

Gonna make a couple other changes.

Got some taraxatone from GNC. I'm gonna take 3 at my 11:00 and another 3 at my 5:45 meal on friday.

I'm gonna throw in some gatorade mix with the water i sip between prejudging and evening.

I'm am also gonna take a quick gulp of honey as i walk on stage and a sip of water with it.

Alright, no more changes for now. I'd still like to see some more replies if i can get some.

Well, been thinking about this a lil more and I'll just write down my thoughts.

I'm trying to figure out when to cut my multi-vitamin but not sure about that yet.

On day of show, i'm thinking about deleting the 9:45 meal, but haven't made a decision yet.

I think thats about it, if any of you guys have any thoughts or opinions at all, please don't be shy.

Note: To all the guys doing a show and doing research. This is just a rough outline. I stopped making changes cause no one responded.
