Frustrated..What am I doing wrong?

[kaptainkeezy04]

yea good idea. Stupid heartrate things on the machines is so inconsistent..sometimes it seems right..then itll go down when i kick up the intensity. other day it said 194 and i was like woww.whatever. I know I should invest in a heartrate monitor but that costs $$..i barely have enough for food/protein powder

if you only post-whoring was a job

if you only post-whoring was a job

The issue probably lies in your macros...adjust them accordingly. What does your diet look like?

[chest6]

diet is on the first page..

[Giantz11]

I don't see your diet. How much have you lowered your cals from your original diet?

[chest6]

bump..any thoughts on the revisions?

[chest6]

nother bump....

[Giantz11]

Too many shakes, switch to more solid foods. Give me your cals before and after as well as macro breakdown before and after.

[chest6]

well the pwo shake is a given..Im thinking about keeping the last shake before bed and changing the first shake to 8 egg whites or so..how does that sound? Oh and I've got the macros/calories as soon as I get chicken today and look at the label

[chest6]

oh and this morning i added brown sugar to my oats..is that alright?

[Giantz11]

That's ok, PWO is a given. Before bed try something solid as well as any other time you are having a shake, except pre and post workout.

[chest6]

hmmm My PPWO is 2 chicken breasts and brown rice I cooked yesterday..what do you recommend that has at least 40g protein before bed..a solid food? Should I just throw another can of tuna in there?

[chest6]

Also..Im a little worried. The chicken I eat has 8g fat per chicken..so thats 16g fat per chicken..what Im concerned about is combined with carbs (brown rice) with that much fat. What you think

[Giantz11]

Try cottage cheese if you can eat it if not get a Forman Grill, it'll be your best friend!

[chest6]

yup..i made it on the foreman grill..I love those things. I mean I dont see how it has that much fat..tastes like every other chicken Ive ever had

[Giantz11]

I think you should be fine then, it usually strips it of most the fat. So I wouldn't worry.

Best invention ever. I need to get a bigger one now as mine only holds 3 chicken breasts.

bump for giantz

bump for giantz

Looks ok I'd drop some of that fat and add more carbs though. 100g of fat is a lot.

[chest6]

Thats what I was thinking..I could remove the fish oil caps, the peanuts and one slice of cheese at meal#2..
