Quint Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi guys, So I'm hoping to start 1st March and trying to get a good weekly plan ready. How does this look? TIA!! Diet Paln.xlsx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhed Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi Quint! A few things jump out at me: you have smoothies down for breakfast, which don't meet the template and aren't recommended. Also, your Wednesday and Friday breakfasts are pretty small. You also have snacks planned, but if you have enough to eat at breakfast and dinner, you shouldn't need the snack. Also, if you do need a snack, it should be a mini meal or at least two of the following: protein, veggie, or fat. Post workout should be protein, with a few bites of starchy veg if you need it. Are you planning to make the Kerrygold into clarified butter? If not, it's not compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quint Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi Rhed, That's very useful THANK YOU very much. I'm still reading the book so still getting my head round it all :-). Was wondering about the kerrygold - very sad to see that its not okay unless made into cb (I'm from Ireland) where the stuff comes from. So smoothies are a complete no go no matter what's in them?

rhed Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 It's not a rule, but a recommendation. Here's an article about it (scroll down a bit in it). And here's another. Having a smoothie by itself doesn't meet the meal template (a palm sized serving of meat, a thumb-ish of fat, and the rest of the plate filled with veg).

jmcbn Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 What @rhed said re the smoothies & meal templates... In your case postWO should def include some starchy veg - this is when your body will best deal with it so don't miss that opportunity to refuel the muscles with glycogen, but definitely don't forget the protein for your muscles. Stick with the template, and follow the recommendations as well as the rules and you won;t go far wrong. Protein, fat & vegetables. Three times a day. If you're hungry and you need a fourth meal make it a mini meal with at least two of the three macronutrients with protein & fat always being your best option. Eat your first meal within an hour of wakening. Limit your nuts & seeds. Limit your fruit. Salt your food. Drink half your body weight in ounces in water per day. And sleep. Sleep is going to be key to your recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 FWIW- Kerrygold turns into absolutely delicious clarified butter and it is dead easy to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
