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.


Current Nutrition Plan: Monday - Friday

Meal 1 (6 AM)
8 oz Egg Whites, 1 serving of oatmeal made with 1 cup of skim milk

Meal 2 (9 AM)
Meal Replacement Shake, banana

Meal 3 (Noon)
4-6 oz Chicken Breast with 1 cup brown rice and 1-2 cups broccoli

Meal 4 (4 PM)

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.
