Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Like several others who have posted today, I'm trying to get back in gear, so I thought I'd post my meals & workouts for a while. Feedback and suggestions are welcome. M1 - veggie breakfast sausage and oatmeal M2 - lf yogurt & cheesestick M3 - vegetable barley soup & cottage cheese M4 - hb egg and apple M5 - salmon and roasted veggies (incl. potatoes) M6 - pretzels & cheese, I think LBWO from Krista's All dumbells all the time (http://stumptuous.com/program8.html) routine: dumbbell squats - unweighted 3x10 stiff-legged deadlift - 2 lb dumbbells, 3x10 single-leg calf raise - 2x10 (that was failure, yikes) swissball crunches - 3x10 Cardio: 40 min intervals on the stationary bike. Upward, onward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi , A few comments since you asked for feedback: Meal #1: How many sausages are you having? One doesn't seem like enough protein. Meal #4: I would definitely have more than one egg per meal. That is not enough protein - and you may want to eliminate the yolk - way high in fat. Meal #6: What type of cheese? Reduced fat, hard? or semi-soft? Do you know what your caloric intake adds up to? It does not seem like you are eating enough. Esepcially if you are doing extra cardio as well. > > Like several others who have posted today, I'm trying to get back in gear, so I thought > I'd post my meals & workouts for a while.

I didn't include my numbers in the original post, but when I started calculating things a while ago I was aiming for a little under 300 calories per meal. > Meal #4: I would definitely have more than one egg per meal. That is > not enough protein - and you may want to eliminate the yolk - way > high in fat. > My 'problem' with eggs, if you can call it that, is that I don't like them very much prepared any way but hard boiled. Is it worth just eating the whites of a hard boiled egg? > Meal #6: What type of cheese? Reduced fat, hard? or semi-soft? > Reduced fat, 2 oz, which is something like 160 calories and way too much fat. I know that hard cheese isn't the greatest, and for a while I had not been eating it, but it seems like one of the few snacks that is really satisfiying that I've found that's somewhat on plan. Any suggestions are welcome. > Do you know what your caloric intake adds up to? It does not seem > like you are eating enough.

(I'm 5'10 " ). Is that crazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 As far the egg goes - the whites are the BEST part as far a nutrition. Absolutely - have 4 egg whites boiled. Just throw the yolk away. A little salt and they are YUMMY! I use cheese -reduced fat - about once a week as well, mid-day snak with some fruit, just for a change. It's a little high in fat, but when you think of the alternatives.... =) As long as you are in your calorie range - then you are doing just fine! It just didnt seem like a lot. Have a great day!
