Old guy making a comeback...

[tbody66]

4 am - 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, bowl of oats with one scoop of whey protein
8 am - subway tuna sandwich on flatbread, no cheese, tomatoes and jalapeno's
11 am - 1/4 cup white rice, 3.5 oz tilapia
2 pm - 1/4 cup white rice, 3.5 oz tilapia
5 pm - 1/4 cup white rice, 3.5 oz tilapia
8:30 pm - 8oz new york strip bison steak, 6 oz mashed sweet potatoes with salt and pepper
10 pm - 13 whole peanuts with sea-salt

worked from 5am til 7pm, had to miss my workout, but my legs are still sore from monday's 10x10 squat session, so I think it was okay, since today is leg day number 2 for the week.

how's that diet for today? Are the peanuts okay this way instead of natural peanut butter?

What was the point of just peanuts before bed? Why purposely consume fats before bed and no protein? In this case i'd say not eating at all is better then eating nothing but fats before bed. Get a casein shake or some cottage cheese in there with those peanuts!

I didn't say there was a point, I just pointed out that I did it, I just wanted some peanuts, there is some protein in them, but not why I did it, oh and then I ate 4 tomatoes and two jalapeno's with cajun seasoning sprinkled on them, and drank about a 1/2 cup of pickle juice. The cottage cheese should be whole fat, right?

I'm just saying that it's counter productive IMO to eat a fat only meal, especially when protein is needed before bed. If you do the cottage cheese, i'd say go with whole fat because the fat will slow the protein absorption a bit.

Sorry, but I strongly disagree with this statement.

THere is nothing wrong with some good fats before bed. You just had a good meal 90 minutes prior and '13 peanuts' will help satify you through the night. There are times when I am afforded (during dieting) a tablespoon or two of peanut butter. Guess when I have it? As a desert right before bed. I've been known to have a TB of PB last a half hour. AND....there are COUNTLESS times where I wake up ravishing during the night and guess what I have? A tablespoon of PB.

Point is, there is NOTHING wrong with this protocol and it's almost encouraged as good fats are needed to burn fat.

All good.

My issue isn't as much with having the fats as it is with NOT having any protein. I think protein in every meal is very important for a BBer. Satisfying a craving with a tbsp of PB is another thing, we all do it. I'm talking about a meal. Tbody, are you considering this your bedtime meal? You should IMO, and with that, add protein to it. It's arguably the most important meal of your day aside from maybe your PWO meal. You don't need me to tell you that you recover and grow while you sleep, so why not provide your body with a fresh dose of protein immediately before hitting the sack? 13 whole peanuts barely provides enough protein to be worth mentioning, and it's incomplete protein at that.

PS - I hope it doesn't sound like i'm coming down on you, because i'm not. I'm just here to ride your ass the way I expect you all to ride mine. Ok, that sounds gay.

LB - the 'eat fat to burn fat' theory is heavily debatable. I'm not necessarily saying I personally disagree with it, but it is not 100% accepted by everyone.

I know you are not coming down on me, I appreciate everything you do and the way you do it. I actually had written quite a lengthy response to you to explain it last time and just deleted it and said that I agreed and thank you. That being said, I do agree, however, LB was right, I had just eaten at least 8 oz of bison steak, about an hour or an hour and a half prior, 6 oz of mashed sweet potatoe and was having tomatoes, jalapenos and pickle juice before bed time and just wanted a few peanuts.

I am currently editiing my photo's that I took tonight and will have them up in a few minutes.
