What are your macros?

[PrettyPinkDonut]

its kind of hard to keep track exactly because most of my food comes from the campus meal hall
typically
eggs, biscuit, hash browns, and milk/water so maybe 25p, 60c, 15f ??
salad with lima beans, lots of leean diced ham, and light ranch usually with milk/water ?20p, 20c, 5f?
some kind of lean meat at carb with water and maybe a bowl of cereal ?25p, 60c, 10f??
trail mix snack
lean meat with some carbs again
chocolate milk for dessert

Cut out the trail mix. And try to get more fiber in there. Also oats > biscuits/hashbrowns. You need a lot more fiber in there.

[PrettyPinkDonut]

ok...so i shoul just get a plate of eggs, then get a seperate bowl of oats....different lines for the two at my meal hall
i rekon im getting enough dairy and fat, so i will up the fiber

just for informational purposes, whats wrong with the trail mix...its unsalted

Trail mix by definition and purpose has extremely large amounts of calories.

[PrettyPinkDonut]

i see...i havnt ate it in a while, but i typically do....i wont be buying that tomorrow
whats something i can snack on every once in a while thoughout the day

[Croaker]

i see...i havnt ate it in a while, but i typically do....i wont be buying that tomorrow
whats something i can snack on every once in a while thoughout the day

That's low calorie? Quite honestly nothing that tasty. Apples are good because the pectin and soluble fiber make the sugar release slowly into your bloodstream, carrots are good because they are nutrient dense without that many calories.

If you eat more fiber though, you will feel more satiety throughout the day and won't need to snack as often.

[PrettyPinkDonut]

yeah i admittedly have a big sweet tooth, so ill need to be getting over that
i usually buy calorie-less flaVORED water as something tasty to drink once or twice a day
and like a said,a chocolate milk for dessert

[PrettyPinkDonut]

well ladies and gents im back
im coming off an ankle injury (stupid sewers) and busy nights due to ROTC
yesterday (march 13)was the first time ive trained since last friday...and thankfully it was a pretty light day

weighted myself thursday at 165, so thats atleast within reasonable cutting rangefor 155, but i hope to be naturally between 160-165 not flaoting at 165-170 like i am now

my diets going great, and i only tend to cheat on the weekend

[PrettyPinkDonut]

the next few weeks will be focused on technique in the gym, and strength training(primarily legs) in...the other gym..

[ny_chow]

here it is!
subbed

[PrettyPinkDonut]

I havn't added much, spring break hehe
but i trained this last monday and friday for about 2 hours a pop with a gym sessions on monday and thursday

sounds good, that's the weight i want to compete/fight at and yea you'll be huge for 145 DO IT

[PrettyPinkDonut]

[Clark_Kent]

We have a guy at our gym who walks around at 162 and fights at 145. He is only 5'6" so he is pretty jacked. With your height at that weight you would definitely be at the top end of the reach spectrum I would think.

[PrettyPinkDonut]

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/412JvH4R%2B9L._AA280_.jpg

[PrettyPinkDonut]

weighed in at 154 this morning before food
morning shake consisted of 2 scoops of protein, 4oz of skim milk, 2tbsp of flax powder, and a bannana

the only exercise i really plan on doing today is some backyard basketball or football, and a fun run at sunset (couture's "active leisure" you feel).

[gainmusclefast]

so ur weighing at only 4lbs over weight?

[PrettyPinkDonut]

i reckon, i have two scales in the house but one is from like 1950 something so i tend to trust the newer one we got last year....it said im 154 this morning before food and i feel i can force cut 5 or more pounds week of...so yeah im bout 4 lbs away and 4 weeks out

[gainmusclefast]

id get a new digital scale, i had a old one that had me weighing a lot less then i really was

[PrettyPinkDonut]

i thought digital scales were the most innaccurate??

[PrettyPinkDonut]

[PrettyPinkDonut]

so for breakfast i had 1/3 of a banna, 1 scoop protein, 6oz. skim milk, 1tbsp flax seed, with some splenda

snack im eating 100 calories worth of tuna

[gainmusclefast]

u got 3 weeks to drop 5 lbs, i drop 5 lbs in a day when i remove all carbs from my diet, ur fine

if u want, the next easy day u have do a test and eat no carbs the whole day and weigh urself the next day and see how much u drop

[PrettyPinkDonut]

yeah, the only carbs i ate today was this thin crust to this BBQ pork pizza my gf made (which was delicious) could ate the whole thig but i limited myself to two small slices, and a bananna with water amount was in 6oz of milk

[PrettyPinkDonut]

for some reason i just can't get into a workout at the house i always start then stop

[PrettyPinkDonut]

the lack of overall skill is a bit evident in AR, but their was some good brawls, and a pro women fight where a girl that trains at my gym TKO'd this other chick and broke her nose in 12 seconds
my boy their that was fighting displayed some awesome jitz (almost got a gogoplata), the other dude hung in their but was eventuall RNC in the 2nd

and yeah workouts are hard to do at your house lol too many temptations...it usually consists of push ups and ab workouts while watching DVR'd ufc unleashed

so ill be fighting in those, i feel that the shorts hinder my shots and leg kicks

Why get long ones bro?

I have the V&M ones from there and love them. Short = better IMO, less movement restricting.

[PrettyPinkDonut]

got a job finally so imma have to revise my workout schedule..gonna be weird the next couple of days
went to boxing tonight from 5:30-7pm, great workout and some good technique drills, im really sore
my wrist is a little tweaked and i been wearing a brace...gona ice over night and see how i feel
checking out a new MMA gym due to the lack of challenge at my old gym and the fact that its shut down, butr since i have a job i can train at a good school

[PrettyPinkDonut]

ok so im basically working till noon everyday so that gives me plenty of time to train
wrists are a bit jacked, im bandaging ice to them before i go to bed but i didnt do much of anything besides shadow box a little bit and work on some slips and weaves

endurance circuit of squats to pull ups no rest
3x3 minute rounds on the heavy bag
ab work

sparred three three minute rounds with a hvyweight pro boxer and reaffirmed that i wasnt misguided in my belief that i have a good chin lol....i ate this uppercut like a chicken sandwich, got dropped but was told i was back up as soon as i hit the ground and continued to spar for anoter 5 minutes

[gainmusclefast]

[PrettyPinkDonut]

yeah man ill try my hand at anyone, but i wont do that for a while my face hurts lol...bujt everyone at ABC is incredible
im training at a new judo and jui-jitsu gym for the last couple weeks until my fight...will update on that

[gainmusclefast]

more head movement! u gots to be elusive! :p

i practice moving my head a lot, when doing pads and hitting the heavy bag, u just got to get into a habit of either moving ur head or moving after each combo

[PrettyPinkDonut]

rolled for about an hour yesterday moderate pace, really working the finer points of my ground game/ ground and pound, maintaining dominance

[BPP]

but was told i was back up as soon as i hit the ground and continued to spar for anoter 5 minutes

lol @ "was told" I got back up and kept going

:D

[PrettyPinkDonut]

ur only 3 pounds over how far out? maybe u should fight at a lower weight

[YesThatGuy]

3 pounds over?

He has got 1 week to cut 8 pounds. Easily done.

Your training partner got supplies to properly corner you? wrap your hands? stop any bleeding? etc?

You wanna fight me on August 15th at 145? (srs)
