Robb's cutting journal - 12 weeks (1/4/04-3/29/04)

[EdgeCrusher]

Introduction:

Hey, I'm Robb - I don't keep journals long. I'm making this *mainly* to back up my diet/training routine for the next 12 weeks and so I can pull it up if I'm somewhere else. Oh, and I won't be weighing myself nor checking bodyfat. I will weigh and check my bodyfat at the end of the 12 weeks so I can monitor my bulk though. Also, vegetables are excluded from the plan (not planned for) but they are going to be eaten. I am excluding them because they aren't going to heavily change my diet as long as I don't eat a significant amount of a high calorie veggie and it allows me to be a lot more free when choosing my vegetables. I put each day into fitday.com for an estimated calorie readout and for a breakdown of protein/carb/fat - which looks good - keeping protein about 50% most everyday and fat very low.

Concluding Comments: I feel pretty good overall. The peanut butter should've been natural peanut butter but I didn't have any around, I ate >1g protein per lb bodyweight, and other than the fact I could've done more triceps, the lifting was solid. Tomarrow (or today for that matter) I'm gonna try and eat less calories. Oh, and this record is my eating until 5am (or so), so I need to make sure that if I wake up early tomarrow to record eating prior to 5 am for day 2. Note: It looks like if I repeat this amount of food minus the peanut butter or eat less PB and less cheese, I should be solid.
