Seriously, I know. I have to intentionally put some of it in the fridge after I make it otherwise I always eat the whole thing.

That’s all you ate in a day? With that training? I think I eat that for breakfast lol. Props to you my man I did a 40K time trial on zwift and a 10k run and ate a while pizza afterwards lol

breakfast: 2 peanut butter and honey sandwiches. 3 cups of coffee, black.
workout: 6 mile run.
lunch: 2 Tofurkey sausages
dinner: 6 slices of a 14" pizza, 3 or 4 garlic knots.

the fattening is happening.....

Maybe that's why I woke up hungry yesterday? I don't count what I eat at all. Basically just wing it, as with most things...

Long Distance PB: 8:25

Now that is a detailed accounting. Way to go! I think I would lose my mind counting everything in that much detail.


For yesterday:
-Breakfast: Bagel/coffee
-Swim 3300 yds, run 3 miles
-Smoothie, couple hard boiled eggs
-Lunch: Leftover Mac and Cheese
-Bike 40 miles
-Dinner: Take out burger and fries from local brewpub to bring to my mom's for mothers day, also grilled some sprouts and other veggies to go with it

2 cups of black coffee with sweet n low
Ran 12.5 miles(Zone 2)
1 Gatorade zero
1 cup black tea with sweet n low
Will probably eat tomorrow evening after I workout

It’s actually pretty easy :)

I just try to get 6x25-30 grams of protein a day and then as many healthy carbs as possible. If I see my weight drop too fast or too much = add a bit more fat and carbs to my daily eating ! Or a few more beers - haha !

It’s only the protein - I’m ‘stressed’ about and I started about 2 months ago. Eating the same protein as always, now it’s just split into 6 and not just lunch and dinner.

40 oz of dark chocolate??? I hope that's a typo. If it isn't, wow.

40oz of dark chocolate is a lot. At 170 cal per ounce, that’s 6,800 cal for breakfast.

Pretty impressive. I was really craving chocolate last night and should have had another meal or something and ended up cutting 3lbs or so from yesterday. At 183.0 this morning (72.5in).

I need to get some chocolate..... I really like snickers and Reese’s... and I should get some some ice cream too - I like the energy it provides.

I think if we knew everyone's weight/height/BMI etc., and where they used to be or want to be would shed a lot of light on the opinions and positions of everyone posting guidance or insights in nutritional threads such as the current IF debate. Definitely not a one size fits all.

Yeah - I’m pretty lean right now - 183lbs is a good training weight for me. I normally fluctuate between 178-187lbs depending on phases of my workouts and eating patterns. Overall, I just want to get fast for my next 70.3. Maybe that’s a 183 training weight and a 175-180 race weight. I’ll go lighter if my speed in training takes me there, but I don’t really like the way I look at low 170s.

typo.... 40g dark chocolate.

fyi avoid the snickers, has partially hydrogenated oils (transfat)

reeses ok, but can do better with justin's peanut butter cups

yeah Justin's are pretty good too
