Nope, I'm not crazy, Tim!! I'm just feeding off of your energy & dedication.. It helps keep me focused knowing someone else is going through the same thing I am, only on a higher level. Believe it or not, it still cracks me up knowing that someone as dedicated as yourself still gets cravings from time to time for such simple things as a Mounds bar or ice cream. I actually thought there was something wrong with me because I couldn't just shut those cravings off.. The further along I get, the stronger my will gets. I figure I've gone this far, why not continue the journey? Thanks again for helping get me motivated!

No problem my friend......beleive me,I too appreciate your input on this thread. I haven`t had a craving in a while now..........but did you have to go and mention that damn Mounds bar ?? ;D tomorrow is gonna` be a tough day,but at one time I did 19 days without eating any carbs other than veggies..................when I was doing cardio one day during that lunacy ,I felt like I was just gonna` drop like a fly........ran across the street to a store and bought some Pop-Tarts..............simply had to eat something as fast as possible. I was loopy in the brain dept.,................I would never go over 3 days now,and that`s tough enough..........anymore than that and the brain doesn`t function well,and I don`t need any help in that area!!

Thanks Kelsey......I`ll need all the luck I can get,just to make it through the next three days......I`m hungry already!! ;D
I got up extra early today so I ate earlier than I normally would so I could get to the gym......the hours are screwy since it`s a college gym and it`s spring break.

3/21/05
As usual,protein goal is 200 minimum,and carbs between 130-150.
I still have to get into the carb cycling to get it down pat,but I`m looking to go just a bit lower than normal for a cycle.....hence the 185 grams, as opposed to 200 yesterday,and the 130 grams, as opposed to 150 today,and so on.......I feel I`m not quite where I should be at this point in my prep, but do not want to freak out, and do anything too drastic,as I feel it will come together in time,because I`m doing basically what needs to be done................I am looking a bit tighter today............more seperation in my quads,intercostals, delts, & abs.
Approximately 9 weeks or so left!!
Meal # 1: Pre-Workout: Whey shake in water/22 gms.of protein
Meal # 2: Post-Workout: Whey shake in water/44 gms.of protein
Meal # 3: 8 egg whites/24 gms.of protein 2 whole eggs/12 gms.of protein sm.amt. pepper strips mixed into eggs 1 baked potato/40 gms. carbs 12 oz. water
Meal # 4: 8 oz. skinless chicken breast/56 gms. protein 1/2 cup brown rice/33 gms. carbs salad (with vinegar) 10 oz. water
Meal # 5: 8 oz. skinless chicken breast/56 gms. protein 1/2 cup brown rice/33 gms. carbs 10 oz. water
Meal # 6: 8 egg whites/24 gms. protein 1/2 cup oatmeal/26 gms. carbs 12 oz. water
Total protein = 228
Total carbs = 132

3/22/05 Normally on this day of carb cycling ,I would shoot for 100 grams of carbs but because of my condition being just a tad behind schedule.........in my opinion,I will shoot for approximately 85 grams today and tomorrow I will just have 1/2 cup of rice which =33 grams as opposed to my normal 50 grams on that day! Meal # 1: Pre-Workout: Whey shake in water/22 gms.of protein Meal # 2: Post-Workout: Whey shake in water/44 gms.of protein Meal # 3: 8 egg whites/24 gms.of protein 2 whole eggs/12 gms.of protein sm.amt. pepper strips mixed into eggs 1 baked potato/40 gms. carbs 12 oz. water Meal # 4: 8 oz. skinless chicken breast/56 gms. protein 1/2 cup brown rice/33 gms. carbs 12 oz. water Meal # 5: 8 oz. skinless chicken breast/56 gms. protein sm. sweet potato/30 gms. carbs salad (with vinegar) 12 oz. water Meal # 6: 1 can water packed tuna/33 gms. protein 12 oz. water Total protein = 249 Total carbs = 103 (spaced out about the 85 grams......still OK as 100 is the original goal..........musta` been lack of carnbs causing the forgetfullness! :Big Laugh:

Hey question for ya' Tim, when you eat 8 oz of boneless skinless chicken breast, you put down 56 grams of protein. Is that the cooked weight of the breast, or raw weight?

Post by Tim Wescott on Mar 22, 2005 13:00:07 GMT -5
jianblaze,I weight it raw,but the protein content of cooked chicken or meat, remains the same............. even after it is cooked.
