Engine 2 Diet - Day 6

Uggg. Arsenal Game postponed this AM. It's ok though as Loomi and I stayed in bed and got caught up with some shows. Yesterday was a bit brutal again with the "volume" of food. It really tends to happen when I lift. I will have to make a conscious effort to not eat as much and drink more water on the days I work out.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!


Breakfast:

  • Shredded potatoes with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, celery, cumin, cayenne pepper, chili power, salt (I really need to probably limit the amount of salt I cook with), pepper and oil spray. Mixed with Soy Chorizo
  • 2 pears
  • 2 Cuties
Lunch:
  • Small bowl of pinto beans, brown rice and mixed pepper veggies
  • Small bowl of cereal. 
Dinner:
  • Veggie Burger
  • Veggie chips with mashed pinto beans and guacamole
  • 2 pears
  • 4 cuties
  • 3 oatmeal rasin vegan cookies

    question for you...you mention how hungry you are on days you lift. how does it compare vs days you run or do a bunch of cardio?

    It's way different for me. I think my metabolism is running at a higher rate for some reason. I think that's why a lot of experts stress weight training when try to lose weight. When you have more muscles you have a higher metabolic rate and I think when you're body is repairing your torn muscles fibers from lifting, it's running at a higher rate as well.

    Cardio is about burning fat, if you work out with a heart rate monitor like I do. 4 years ago, my V-O2 MAX rate was 149, the limit to where my body burns fat vs muscle. I try to work out in the 140-145 range now when I'm doing my cardio.
