PB's eclectic log

[Leggodess]

I hit arms Friday, hams and glutes Saturday, tonight I have shoulders. Diet at about 80% No cardio last few days. Still struggling to wean off the pain pills.

The good news: due to a lovely chain of events I'll be able to rehire my diet coach. I'm at about 16% bodyfat now. My first goal is to lose fat, get down to 12-13%

You will reach your goals with a cleaner nutrition. What is your current nutrition like?

Dude! I know!
I posted my diet at the beginning of the thread.
I've been taking diet easy lately but I can be very disciplined. I had a diet coach up until a couple months ago. Around the time my prepaid was expiring my mother-in-law died (after a horrible 8 months of pancreatic cancer) and my dad (who is 95) was in the hospital and diagnosed with lymphoma and dementia. It was a rough time. I needed to take a break from everything and deal with my family and my mental health issues (depression, anxiety, chronic pain, opioid overuse)
So, things are getting back to normal. I fell into unexpected money and decided to use it to rehire my coach.


Current diet:

PF plan
Meal1: 2 whole eggs and 6 egg whites
Meal 2: 5 oz (cooked) chicken breast and 2/3 oz almonds
Meal 3: same as 2, or protein "ice cream" * and 2/3 oz almonds
Meal 4: 5 oz (cooked) top round steak and 2/3 oz almonds
Meal 5: 2 whole eggs and 6 egg whites

Also: 1 c veggies as a snack or with any meal

* protein ice cream is 49g Devotion protein, ice and water for 175 cal, 2.5g fat, 5.5g carb, 35g protein


PV plan
Meal 1: 9 egg whites
Meal 2- 5: 5 oz chicken breast
Allowed substitution: 5 oz beef for one meal, protein "ice cream"* for one meal

2 cups veggies

I take all the vitamins, too

I'll do PF or PV depending on my plans for the day and how I'm feeling


I'll post new diet when I restart with my coach within a few days

Wow that’s a lot of sets PB!

Idk... if you break it down it's not a lot. Shoulders for 15, traps 6 (that's more than I typically do). Of course adding in calves and abs things start adding up. Looks like I even skipped glutes that day.

Nutrition is looking good.

Sorry to hear about the family.

I never try protein ice cream. The macros for the ice cream seem ok. How much sugars per serving? How strong is your sweet tooth?

Zero sugar. The protein "ice cream" is literally just Devotion protein powder, ice, and water.

The protein powder contains: whey protein isolate, micellar casein, medium chain triglyceride powder, fiber blend, natural flavor, salt, digestive enzymes, sucralose and ace k

I don't have a strong sweet tooth. Carb cravings when I'm exhausted, but the cravings are for any carbs, not necessarily sweets

Got 15 min LISS and 10 min HIIT (running) this afternoon, and did Day 1 Quad workout this evening. Strict PF diet today. No more subbing protein supps for real food

[PeanutbutterDC]

Day 2 back on track with my coach. 126.8 yesterday and today. PF days. I posted what that was at the beginning of this thread, but I'll explain it again here.
PF is for protein and fat. It's a high protein, moderate fat, very low carb diet.
Meal 1: 2 whole eggs and 6 egg whites
Meal 2: 5oz chicken breast and 2/3oz almonds
Meal 3: 5oz chicken breast and 2/3oz almonds
Meal 4: 5oz top round beef steak and 2/3oz almonds
Meal 5: 2 whole eggs and 6 egg whites

Optional: 1 cup veggies with any meal or as a snack

My workout today was Arms. 15 sets biceps, 15 sets triceps, 6 sets glutes, 6 sets abs

Slept well last night.
Still weaning off the pain pills. Down 1/2 a tablet at night. (The tablets are 10mg Norco). I'm using tylenol and ibuprofen in small amounts when needed during the day- maybe 3x/week. Takes the edge off and not habit forming.

Got a rest day tomorrow. Well, rest from the gym, but very busy.

Good night, all!
