as the fell off-

I'm taking one to work with me tomorrow

What you can do is take one with you and you can eat it as a meal or whenever you are between meals and need something you can break off a piece and eat it. Always drink water or a non caloric drink with it and it will fill you up. If you do eat it a little at a time just add the total cals to your daily allowance. I think this will help with the cravings and make eating enough protein a little easier.

here is the breakdown for each one

275 cals

27g protein
36g carbs
2g fat

Today's #'s

1200 cals. Allowed 83 for nibbling pancakes probably was less

138 protein 120 goal
87 carbs 120 goal
48 fat 27 goal

Almost looks like an Atkins Diet. I did do well on
that diet just needed better variety. As I understand
this better, the variety will come

What a great day

I think you're off to a good start and as you get used to eating like this you will find all kinds of ways to add variety.

Question for CFD -

I made the protein pancake - love it

I ate 1/2 at mid morning and
will have the other half mid-afternoon.

Is there any issue with this type of food
(starchy carb) late in the afternoon? or
does the cinnamon help? Probably a
stupid question but would appreciate
knowing if there is a difference.

Not a stupid question at all. Some suggest that eating carbs ,proteins and fats in correct proportions is what's important but studies show that nutient timing is also important, something I believe in. With that said I believe eating starchy carbs earlier is better although not essential but there are exceptions. Because the starchy carb is oatmeal which digests slowly and on it's own does not spyke insulin levels as it is low glycemic it is acceptable, in addition the content of cinimon further steadies blood sugar that is why I recomended these. I would prefer not to eat anything other than a casein protein later at night, these are perfectly acceptable mid to late afternoon. In addition if you break it into two servings the cal count is only about 140, 26,carbs so it is not real high to begin with. So in short my answer is it is ok to eat.

Thanks, that makes sense. Now to refine the recipe -smaller pieces of
apple. Could you use raisins as well?

I in the past had a recipe that was almost the exact same except for instead of the apple it used unsweetened apple sauce, I preffer the apple pieces myself.

You could use raions but 1/2 cup will add about 100 cals and 20 carbs more than the apple so adjust the macro's accordingly

I'm heading out in the morning for 8 days in the Smokey Mountains. I REALLY need the R & R. I will be largely out of touch but wil try to check in occasionally. I will try to behave myself up there. There is a small gym, swimming pool & of course hiking. AND a very nice kitchen that you really don't mind cooking in. Most importantly a huge jacuzzi! When I get back it will be time to get serious!

great for left overs too.

High (H) days you will be consuming more carbohydrates, this will keep your body from dropping so much fat in the bulking stage. These days should be cardio and/or high intensity days. Cheat meals are allowed 1 meal a week right now. Try to not go overboard with macronutrients during the meal though. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be changing this up in 2 weeks

Had the time, so got it done! meals for the next 2 weeks complete, in the freezer they go!

[JoeP@TeamBeckyD]

WOW. That's crazy! That's a lot of food!
I'm afraid I'd lose track

Interesting though. It will be interesting how it
works for you. We'll be watching

Yeah , I did this on Team Bombshell, portion sizes are small and its all healthy natural food with more veggies during the day, very little fruit and NO processed food, so you can eat more, but believe me, your still hungry throughout the day so you have to eat more and working out W/ cardio helps burn alot of what you eat away LOL another reason you need to eat more!!
