Thursday already!
Push-pull programme really working a treat. Hammered after some serious push this morning.
Coach Von Hitler asked for my meal plan and is going to give it a go himself. I must be doing something right. Seems utterly absurd that a 22 year old former elite swimmer is asking a 42 year old tool for advice but it’s a funny world.
Have you shared that meal plan here before? Care to?

A couple of times I think. Here it is. Pretty bloody boring but it works for me.
Breakfast: Cup of oats mixed with shake (2 eggs, 2 egg whites, protein powder) + berries.
Morning tea: 2 rice cakes with peanut butter.
Lunch: 1.5 chicken breasts, rice, mustard and almonds.
Afternoon: spinach/kale shake with protein powder
Dinner: Repeat lunch but with salmon, turkey or steak. No nuts.
Before bed: Protein shake.
On Saturdays I eat whatever I want although try to lay off the sugary treats and ice cream.

I can’t see the daily beer recommendations. I’m assuming that’s some sort of misprint ?

@rancid-schnitzel so how many calories is that?
Obviously you are doing alot of work to burn through it.
I'm looking to change from IF, as I am not enjoying at moment, but looks like far too many calories in that for what I am going to burn!

It really isn’t that much at all. Only about 2100 when just chicken breast. A couple hundred more when steak or salmon. If you really want to drop the kgs then don’t eat carbs for dinner.
-
@rancid-schnitzel yeah I'm not trying to drop any more, but dont want to gain a bunch either, more maintainance.
looks like it would be much more than that?? WOulda thought the protein powder alone would be getting up there.
I am doing IF at present, but am a bit over it now, so looking to change it up

It’s 3 scoops of VPA in total which is only 336 calories.

@rancid-schnitzel ah ok, one of mine is 500 per shake and the other (Mrs TR bought it this week for me) is like 800, although is a meal replacement one too, but I dont like it much, so will smash it out to get rid of it.

Yeah some of those are calorie bombs. Heaps of carbs. Mass gainers have some insane amounts.

Anyway will be eating a whole lot more today.
Did 2.km in the pool then a 15km run. Absolutely blasted🤯 -

So those meat portion sizes are what, 250gms per meal or so?

That gives me some ideas for lunch👍

Yeah about that. I cut the crap off the breasts (tendons etc) then cut them up into small pieces then bung them in the air fryer. If I’m particularly hungry I’ll add a bit more. The hardest thing is finding the right balance.

He he. No thanks! I also haven’t ridden a bike in about 15 years.
The marathon will be an epic cnut. My calves are killing me and that was from just 15km! Admittedly the swim involved a lot of kick work but still. I’m thinking the best preparation for a marathon is getting used to a world of pain.

Good man. Cyclists are fluffybunnies

You blink and it’s Thursday!
Ran out of eggs and Kale on Tuesday and wasnt in the best way when I got up on Wednesday. Shows just what a fine line the diet is. Need every calorie I can get. But ended day on a high. Brutal swimming session.
Good push session today. Looking forward to a good pull tomorrow 😁

You’ll have to let us know how the weights go too.

Coach Hitler again today. I’m not sure what’s worse, his sets or him trying to engage me in conversation while I’m in the middle of them. Not easy trying to pretend to be polite while in the middle of 20 burpees.
Pull session later was also most satisfying. As was the gym session.
Youngest had GPS swimming champs today. His school got absolutely destroyed and his relay team came last (although his breaststroke leg was very good). But yeah, training during the Christmas holidays then another 6 weeks for that result. He wasn’t impressed. Ah well, it was great he made the team but this will be a hobby and fitness training going forward. Unless you’re a farking potential Olympian you’re insane to put in that kind of training. It simply isn’t worth it.
