I wasn't looking forward to this workout. Idid much better than last time as familiarity makes me a little more confident and my trusty skip back button is getting worn out while I try to learn these moves!
Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast:
Hot oatmeal with a smidgen of Brown sugar and a touch of 1% milk
Lunch:
2 rice cakes with peanut butter
Dinner:
Stir Fry Thai chicken with Bell Peppers and some Jasmine Rice
Snacks:
Muscle Milk Fitness bar
Gatorade G2
Water
Recovery drink
Not great, but I still feel like I am eating a lot healthier than I ever have. I have lost a few pounds, but I look a lot better than I used to.
I am going to be a little more discretionary with my Muscle Milk, since I was told that that might not be good for me. Damn those GNC salesmen! I know that I need some kind of Protein Powder drink and Muscle Milk seemed like ti would help me a lot. I only use one scoop instead of two, but I do use about a two cups of 1% milk. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've found that the eating plan is wrong for what my body needs. My body thrives on carbs for energy, so I've pretty much cut them out on days I'm not lifting weights. I take a multi-vitamin with plenty of B vitamins (specifically B3 and B12). My typical food intake is something like this:
Breakfast: 1 cup non-fat-plain yogurt or 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese with 1 serving of fruit mixed into it.
Brunch: protein powder drink like Nitro-Tech Hardcore or Musclemilk (always mixed with water), a couple servings of peanut butter with carrots (I make my own peanut butter - just peanuts in a blender until it's butter-smooth).
Lunch: 2 servings of lean meat and some veggies (if a salad, then fat-free dressing or put the meat on top and let the juices from the meat be the dressing). No croutons. No cheese (unless it's made with 2% milk or less). 1-2 servings whole-wheat Carbs if lifting weights today.
Snack: same sort of thing as brunch. Maybe with fruit also. Post-workout drink here if I worked out after lunch.
Dinner: Whatever fancies me and is high in healthy stuff. Always with a salad of some sort.
Another Snack.
I know you didn't ask for any opinions, but this is my typical meal sched. It's wicked healthy, and pretty tasty too. I'll add more carbs as I get further along in the program. I'm only in week three right now. I've lost 8 lbs and 2% body fat so far. Check out my blog.
