Nutrition & Supplementation
Week Ending: Saturday, April 5, 2008
I didn't make any dietary adjustments this week. The first change implemented will be next week in the form of some carbohydrate subtraction. This meal plan has been working great. I have actually tightened up and lost a couple pounds in the last two weeks, without doing any cardio. I will be making bi-weekly nutrition changes in the next couple weeks. The addition of cardio will come in the beginning of May.

On the weekends I've been eating what I want for the most part. My first three meals of the day are the same as my weekly meal plan and the rest of the day I eat foods that I don't get to during the week. Anything from steak and potatoes to pizza. I even throw in a dessert or two on the weekends. This is a great physical and mental break for me.
I am not too concerned with the exact nutrient totals during the weekends at this point. As long as I am sticking to the meal plan above during the week on my training days I am happy and know I am approaching the weekends in a good place. One thing I make sure I do on weekends is to get consistent quality protein from morning to night and eat plenty of vegetables
For weekend supplementation I don't take most of them. The only thing I make sure I get in is my multi-vitamin/mineral each day.
