Blonde will make thin ....Here we go again !

[Woodsey]

Right fuck this shit!

I'm sick of my lack of discipline creeping in, so just snap went shopping for a load of food to help me plan the next dew weeks properly.

I have to say M+S has got a ton of great food in right now from ready meals through to some tasty chicken and fish dishes I can just add a bit of veg to for some great meals, I doubt any of them will be over 400 cals when all said and done. Loads of 3 for 2 etc offers.

I reckon that is all my dinners covered for the next 23-25 days for £60! I reckon that's pretty good. Have got loads of porridge and oatibix in for breakfasts and I'll just make a sandwich for lunch each day so I don't dive in like I did today!

Will I be able to avoid booze of saturday during the rugby? Dunno we'll see, rugby without booze just ain't right imo    One thing is for sure, if I put any weight on this weight it's GG end target I reckon without silly dieting at the end which I'm not gonna do.

Maybe having eggs or something less carb heavy if you're having sandwiches for lunch Woodsey and that might help. Although on first glance by calories your diet might look good, the nutritional breakdown may not be as good.

Generally the best plan is to keep your diet high protein and low carb/fat, those ready meals whilst labelled for slimmers I've often found are low fat but high carb which for me is a nono.

I know what your saying mate, the problem with me is if I'm not eating food I enjoy I have got zero chance whatsoever. Stuff like eggs I detest after a couple of days and because I'm on the road all day I have to take something out with me that is practical. I make sure my dinner is higher in protein for the most part. The stuff I  have bought isn't 'diet food' as such, its mostly chicken/meat/fish type stuff I can add a bit of veg to.

In reality if I pull my finger out and stick to my plan I really shouldn't be having a problem, its sticking to it when I'm sat there for a couple of hours with food staring at me that is the problem lol

100% that's why I eat mostly stir fries and kebabs so it's like living on takeaways. I hate eggs too and never eat them, I was just chucking it up as an option because most people do like them

I'm lucky I spend all day at home now so the only time I have cause to eat bad food is when I go away anywhere.  I'm off the leash so to speak anyway then and just eat whatever I want.

I've just treated myself to a lovely curry.

It's one of my favourite meals and one which before I got a bit sensible I'd have probably had 3 or 4 times per week.

Anyway just for curiosity I decided to weigh everything out to check the total calories and stuff. The results were quite impressive.

60g basmati rice
3 x pitta bread
220g chicken
265g balti sauce
150g madras sauce
80g sweet chutney type stuff

Add that lot together and you get 1566 calories, 83g protein, 203g carbs & 43g fat. Not bad for a single meal!!

Add the rest of my days intake and I'm in for:

3965 calories
304g protein
456g carbs
96g fat

Overall it's not actually too bad. The fat's still only 11% so not the end of the world.

If I can have the same meal but substitute the curry sauce for a sweet & sour it cuts 400 calories almost all of which are from fat. My fat intake would drop to 6.9%

By having it all in a spreadsheet I can easily make any little adjustments that might be necessary. This is going to be vital as I approach June and the big final weigh in.

Training's been excellent again and I did about 5 miles with big Ron. All in all a very good day.

Quiet on the old fatty front.

Im nipping off to racecourse to do 2 laps(4 miles). Followed by a 30 min PT session.

Gonna need it as im off out drinking tonight. First drop of alcohol since 28th december so due a good slurp.

I found it a pain until I had the macros of most of my staple foods listed and now I can just pull them from that and input daily. Means you can just make tiny adjustments if things start to stutter for whatever reason rather than just snap pulling out meals etc.

Chicken/Rice is my staple although I weigh my rice once cooked and am only having 25g precooked effectively per meal to keep the carbs lower and I have to be careful with the sauces too as they're normally pretty carb heavy

I like weighing myself the day after I plough my cheats home to see how much water weight I can put on

Is there a table updated or graph on here to see how everyone is getting on?

Diet 22/02/12

Reflex Flapjack
400g Chicken
200g Rice
Pro 50
Isoclear

Protein:214g
Carbs:  104g
Fat:      37g

Cals:    1625


Finding it easier atm to just have a flapjack in the afternoon then 2 evening meals with 1/2 a pro 50 for dessert each time, fits in well with work anyway and means that mum doesn't spend too time in front of the stove preparing food for me

Last night tonight then off for the weekend, should be working Sunday but will bribe up and get it off so free until Monday night. I'm working all next weekend while everyone else is off to Star City for the LVTC and sure am looking forward to pulling a bunch of double shifts. Not that appealing working 7pm-4am and then up at 10 to work 11am-4am the next day
