Rest day with 40 mins incline treadmill

I'm hungry as fuck even though I had my tirz shot this morning. It's been raining here for the past week so I've been doing less after-meal walks so that could be a reason.

I'm also 4lbs heavier for some reason which is kinda dumb. Probably hanging on to water, even though I don't look bloated at all.

100g carb days are kinda tough. Thinking of maybe dropping from 4-5 meals to 2-3 idk

lean into that cucumber and green leaf lettuce bud!

You ever used to get that feeling of being stuffed to the gills from veggies but still hungry?

 

[dcdogz]

You ever used to get that feeling of being stuffed to the gills from veggies but still hungry?

oh yea lol, ive found to stop right at the point of being stuffed. gotta go like 80%. otherwise once those veggies digest, it leaves like a vacuum in your stomach which i found would leave me hungrier then before sometimes.

so for me it was always like 300 - 400 grams where id stop. then once id get hungry again go another 200 -300 or so. slowly munch on them all day.

Ever tried having fewer but larger meals?
Now that you mention it though munching throughout the day might be a better idea, haven't really tried that.

oh and dipping them in cinnamon helps i had 2 recipes id switch back and forth.

cinnamon stevia

and stevia/lemon juice/red onion and dill seasoning.

im doing that now currently on my low days / rest, i dont think it makes much of a difference.
i honestly prefer more smaller meals and eating more often.

Oh yeah I remember reading about ceylon cinnamon a lot in your log so I bought some but now idk where to use it lol cinnamon with veggies sounds kinda weird

when I am in a large deficit I have to eat only 3-4 larger meals, because if I try to eat 6 tiny meals on low calories I never get satiated, I am just hungry all day.

My ceylon cinnamon is still whole and I was lazy to grind, but I did have some pumpkin spice mix which I was wanting to try. Mixed it with some monkfruit sweetener and it was good with cucumbers.

Wife said I've completely lost it

Wife is cooking for BIL and was asking me how to make those cheese crusted burritos, sent her a video for visual demonstration.

Coach @Meetketchup, you think we can fit in this kind of meal atleast once a week?

You can make that work if you fit it in your macros. Pretty easy. Use lower calorie cheese, lean meat, etc. You can manipulate some of the macros throughout the day and use them towards this.

Yeah I suppose it's doable. Hardest thing is the tortilla itself which will eat up like 1/3 of my high day carbs, we don't have any low carb options.

But I'm not craving it too badly, I've eaten plenty of these to get to where I'm at

 

[Hughmangoes]

Lower A with high carbs

Workout was pretty decent. Went in the evening because I thought loading up on carbs throughout the day would be good for gainz lol
Weights were kinda difficult but I felt the muscles work well, idk if it's placebo effect. But I want to reduce pendulum and leg press weights a bit for next week, I think I'm going too slow on them.

Had a random guy at the gym comment on how I'm getting leaner, asked me if I'm on a diet(???). Third time this happened in the past week.

It's kind of awkward because I can't say anything nice in return because I'm a bit autistic like that. To me everyone else at the gym looks the same since the day I started going there. Maybe I don't pay enough attention to others.

welcome to the random compliment club full of guys not used to it, not sure how to deal with it, and dont know what to say or respond.


and yes youll notice in time how dudes/ladies are killing themselves in the gym, maybe even working harder then you are, but visually they look the same forever.

you could do this with cottage cheese/low fat mozarella and instead of a tortilla use leaf lettuce for the wrap.
might hit the spot, or at the very least not make you feel left totally out.

Rest day with 40 mins incline treadmill

Started walking again after eating and hunger seems to be back under control. Legs feel like a wet noodle though, probably from the yesterday's lower.

 

[Hughmangoes]

Got these things while shopping for supplements recently, must've been hungry as fuck lol now I feel like they are a waste of macros so I'm hesitant to eat them

Yeah it's protein fluff, if you add some xanthan you can make it into ridiculous volume. But I wasn't a fan, its sort of either too warm or melts too fast for me. Ninja creami really is the goat.

I'm working on something a bit more nutritious, recently started experimenting with chia and flax seeds. You can barely taste them and I think it's useful minerals and vitamins idk. Just prepped a large batch for a week. I also bought some 0 cal flavor extracts which I will also be trying for different flavors.

If you get access to good mangoes I recommend this with mangoes. It was my favourite, 100 times better than berries. I don't really make it anymore because it has too much carbs, but you can afford it.
