Today was a pretty good day and I used up almost all my calories. Yipee!!! It's a huge accomplishment for me. Of course I had a big dinner to do this and I can't do that all the time.
So I came up with a game plan. 2150 cal/day and I am supposed to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks (which I think all 3 snacks could be the same total calories as one meal) so divide 2150 by 4 and that equals 537. So every meal should be approx 537 calories. And then I take 537 and divide that by 3 snacks and that equals 179. So every snack should be approx 179 calories.
If I keep to this formula I should be on track every day. Let's see how that goes kids. Stay tuned.
I did try my first protein shake post workout today because you are supposed to have something high protein as well as something high on the glycemic index (the one time it's ok to do this) within 45-60 minutes post workout to help repair the muscles.
First one up: EAS Myoplex Chocolate Cream Shake.
Calories 210
Fat 2.5g
Carbs 23g
Protein 25g
My opinion: It was ok. It tasted a bit watery and had a bit of a funky taste but it didn't taste nasty. It was easily chugable and didn't leave an aftertaste in your mouth. I would drink it again and would be interested in trying their powder as well which I think is higher in protein so that will be nice.
So one down Muscle Milk is next.
Totals for today
