Put in a tiny bit of clover honey and its fantastic!

[Bumbler]

Not sure about my macros but I'm guessing I'm around 50-60g carbs and 120-130g protein? I get squirrelly when I have to track. On a five week mini-cut and trying to lean out for another three weeks.

Breakfast
6 ounce bison t-bone
two cups of grilled eggplant, zucchini, and mushrooms
All done in a maple syrup/balsamic/olive oil marinade
fish oil, vit D3

Lunch
4 hardboiled omega eggs
a cup of carrot sticks
fish oil, magnesium

I might have another egg before my workout but I'm not really hungry so maybe not?

Here the plan for post workout:
6 ounces ground bison burger with sauteed mushrooms and red onions on a grilled tomato
guacamole
more fish oil

Needless to say, this is more than a 1000 calories.

[pryncess77]

Breakfast:
1/2 cup oats mixed with 1 banana and 2/3 cup ff cottage cheese, and a little sprinkle of splenda

snack: 2 hard boiled eggs

Lunch: 6oz turkey on medium sized salad with ff ranch dressing and a myoplex light protien bar

About 1080 so far. Afternoon snack will be some baby carrots, a string cheese, and a few sunflower seeds

Dinner: Pinto beans mixed with can of rotel, topped with some ff sourcream and a small sprinkle of cheese (YUM, I call it my naked bean burrito!)

Trained legs today so I'm aiming for around 2k cals. My glutes eat 1000 cals a day ON THIER OWN, so that would never work for me.

[kdot28]

Breakfast: 1/3 cup of oats w/ 1 tsp natural peanut butter, cinammon & honey & green tea
Snack: 1 apple w/ cinammon and 1 tsp natural peanut butter, 1 cup black coffee
Lunch: 1 cup pasta salad (made with wholewheat pasta, brocolli, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, celery, cucumber, tomato & cottage cheese dressing), 1 slice low-fat cheese
Dinner: 1 cup of chunky veg soup w/ 2 pieces of rye bread w/ low-fat margarine, 1 slice low fat cheese
Snack: 1 hard boiled egg
& 2L of water during the day.

Aiming to lose fat.

LOL! I love it

[tiff_7_17]

Hmm I think I am somewhat low on calories so far today...but that's okay...there's a birthday in the office and someone brought ice cream cake from dairy queen. I am SO having a slice today because I've been very very good and I have boxing tonight!

Woke up late so I had:
Coffee
1/4c oatmeal with 1 tsp peanut butter
Usually have eggs/egg whites but didn't have time so I had a cheese stick and a yogurt once I got to the office.

later I had a yogurt and a shake (with water)

Lunch I had a big green salad with homemade balsamic dressing and a bit of chicken - maybe 3 oz, to make up for the protein I had some leftover shrimp cocktail I had in my fridge.

Then I went to the dentist so even though i've been hungry I couldn't have anything...

Now i'm about to have a slice of ice cream cake and I can't wait!!!

Then i'll probably have a shake before boxing with pp, fruit, and almond milk...

After, I will probably have some steamed asparagus and tuna or egg salad in a flax wrap.

BOOYAH.

1,000 calories a day is way too low unless you're 6 years old, a quadruple amputee, or an extremely petite person in a motionless long-term coma.

To respond to the sane part of your post, I've had:

2 eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon, and a slice of TJ's sprouted rye toast (this breakfast is absolutely my favorite thing to eat, ever. Love the egg goo and the caraway in the toast).

I'd usually also have a protein shake with whey, soymilk, some canned pumpkin, and pie spices, but I skipped that because today was cardio and not weights day.

Midmorning snack was a cup of nonfat Greek yogurt with a scoop of cake batter protein and strawberries.

Lunch #1 is a half-cup of non-fat refried beans, 1 oz part-skim mozzarella, a TJ's natural chicken sausage, and some hot sauce.

Lunch #2 will be sashimi-style slices of cold-smoked salmon loin on baby lettuces with a light oil/vinegar dressing.

All this leaves me with enough "calories left" to have a good hearty dinner while still meeting my 2,500 calorie goal. Sweet, sweet bulking, how I love thee.

Let me know how that "2 cheese sticks, a salad, and a protein bar" is working out for you. I used to eat like that, too. I was thin but still squishy looking, had no energy, dull hair, vacant eyes, and was an antisocial loser who passed on time with friends to hole up in the gym. I've been everywhere: fat, skinny-fat, dangerously thin... and I assure you that I feel and look best right where I am now (buff and getting buffer), which is only possible through well-reasoned and enthusiastic eating.

[jane-m]
