Fadi I have been on this 2200 cals for 3 days so far and so good. One question I have is, are the chicken thighs weight taken from raw or cooked values?
Also you told me to do 2 days on 2200 and 2 days on 2800. Is there any benefit to doing 2 dats 2200 and 1 day 2800 or do i need more time on the higher carbs for cycling. Im pretty carb sensative thats all.
Not the fittest at the moment either, could only perform 5 X 10 complete Burpies and was just to stuffed to do any more. i could have probably done 50 in the morning and 50 later in the afternoon. But since i didnt know how tough these were I was not prepared. Not to worry ill be increasing them by 10 in the one session until i get up to the 100. Then increasing the reps per set i do until i can do all 100 in the one session if thats even possible.
Hi Newguy22,
I understand what you mean and I do understand your concern. I usually specify but for some reason I didn't for breakfast for example with the sweet potato. There it's cooked weight, same with the chicken. Other places I say (raw) cooked, as in the rice for example. But thanks for pointing that out. I may have to do some rectifying tonight on few food items.
As for the cycling of the calories, people tell me it stops their metabolism from slowing down due to say a 2200 calories when in two days time you up it to 2800. That gives you an average of 2500 calories/day. Eating plans are all about trial and error to see what works for you. As for being carb sensitive; your energy has to come from somewhere especially when you combine this eating plan with the lose fat/maintain muscle program which is very taxing on your muscle glycogen levels. So it's calories in vs calories expanded.
The burpees will come; no one is born fit. We all have to really work at it and you’re doing just fine.
If I've left anything out, please don't hesitate to grab my attention to it. Thank you Newguy22.
Fadi.
