I recently had a cheat day and ate tons of garbage, it was amazing.
At first I couldnt wait until cheat day and go all out. Eventually I got used to the diet and when cheat days came around they would make me feel awful. So my cheat days became cheat meals. When I made that change my metabolism took a hit, so I switched back to full cheat days again and boosted my metabolism throughout the week.
I am in a caloric deficit to lose weight and initially, I had lower energy levels. My brain felt fuzy at times. So I had to adjust carb levels appropriately and eventually found a good spot. Strength is up, weight down, speed up so things are going well.
When I my goal weight, which is either low 180s or when I visually think I’m low enough, I’ll increase cals by about 300 to start and see how that goes.
I’m not a big eater of fruits and veggies. Dude, you shouldve seen my old diet. You wouldnt be worried about how much fruits and veg I’m getting now. I’m just glad they’re in there.
This is just a 1 day snapshot of what I’ve been eating for the past month. Things change around frequently.
Worked on my clean technique a little too. So far my weights are a little all over the place, thats partly on purpose to give some of my lifts a little rest. I guess by the full sense of it this is more of a base block, next one will be a strength block then back to speed.
I’ve got the breakdown in an excel spreadsheet. Its 2500-2800. The almonds and cheese help to boost things considerably without the massive quantities of food.
