becbec Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm impressed... logging workouts on the fly shame about the knees, tho.That diet still looks light-on to me - esp if you're going to do an afternoon weights workout...I'd recommend pre-loading a lot of the diet into the mornings, rather than later in the day, if your circumstances allow.icing knees now and munching down the anti-inflammatories hahayeah i noticed that i eat a lot more in the afternoon (probably in relation to boredom) than i do in the morning, something i will work on this week :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 That gap from mid-arvo to dinner can be a killer, eh! It might be hard to fit eating around school timings, but it can be done - if you can find a way to get the tins of tuna/ chop-chop-chicken, they can be scoffed quickly...I'm certainly a fan of the six-small-meals-a-day theory, I find it helps stave off the mid-arvo hunger pangs. With you wanting to tone and grow stronger, feeding the muscle glycogen stores will be important, so anything that helps time your food intake around workouts is a good idea.

Preworkout shakes are a good idea and also a double size shake straight after helps protect and build your muscles. for glycogen stores, sugar boost etc alot of people seem to use dextrose in their shakes. personally i cant stand it so i have a jam sandwich on white bread . tfb is rite on with the 6 meals thing, not only does it keep you feeling full but it jacks up your metabolism so you lose more fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggurl27 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Don't worry about your weight at the moment especially as you said your meds can give you fluid retention. You know depending on what time of the month a womans weight can fluctuate between .5-3kgs, mostly not that high I guess, except me :grin: You're excercising when you can and improving your diet so all good in the hood.
