I went up to 225 on the blast and have leveled out at 212 and 15%BF after PCT and trying to drop the BF a little more before the next blast.
I do morning workouts, up at 430 or 530am depending on the day. I am an assistant editor so I sit in front of a computer all day. I have 7 meals a day spread out every 2-3 hours. I get to bed between 930-10 nightly. I have noticed if I work late(which is often in my field) and have dinner later, I have to skip my pre-bed shake or make it very small as a full stomach has messed with my sleep.
Currently eating:
Meal 1
40g protein(5 egg whites, protein powder), 1/2 cup oatmeal shake
Workout
Meal 2a (post workout shake)
50g protein(protein powder), 3/4 cup oatmeal shake
Meal 2b (after getting ready for work)
1 slice ezekial bread, 1 slice lowfat swiss cheese, 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites, 1 serving low fat turkey sausage
Meal 3
Banana, protein shake, carbmaster yogurt
Meal 4
Varies, either chicken breast or ground turkey with brown rice or steamed veggies
Meal 5
Beef jerky, carbmaster yogurt, 12 almonds
Meal 6
Varies, chicken breast or steak with steamed veggies or sweet potato
Meal 7 (right before bed)
Cottage cheese and casein shake
I usually add more carbs only on workout days (more fruits-bananas, grapefruit, apples) and when on cycle I eat bigger portions
I usually do stair master or eliptical for cardio when on cycle (for some reason its hard for me to run on gear, not sure why) So I have only been running since a week or 2 after my blast ended.
I have taken the past week off working out and have only been running every other day and have noticed improvements in my sleep. I still usually am awake before my alarm goes off. Should get my apnea results back next week.
I start my deload tomorrow and head back to the gym.
Hope this info might help and thanks for all your input!!!!
