Grilled chicken, zucchini, avocado and cauliflower/potato mash

Today's lunch

7 oz (cooked weight) grilled chicken, 1/2 avocado, a cup of zucchini and a half-cup of my homemade red potato/cauliflower mash.

Approx nutrient breakdown...

Any questions?

Hey Jenn! Excellent blog - so glad that Martin mentioned it!

I'm basically doing the same type of program as you, and looking at your daily macronutrient breakdown I'm astonished to see that we're pretty much on the exact same level!

I'm blogging my experience at http://theprimalpantry.wordpress.com/, drop on by sometime! Let me know if you need any moral support or if you run into anything groundbreaking in your routine :)

Hi Erin. I took a quick peek at your blog and will definitely go through it...which BCAAs are vomit-inducing? I take Scivation Xtend (refreshing watermelon) and find it tastes like watermelon jolly ranchers. To get them to dissolve, mix in hot water first and add cold before you drink it.

Jenn,

I, of course, just decided to get the cheapest (but still high quality) form of BCAAs I could find, so I got these from Vitacost:

http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-BCAAs-Branched-Chain-Amino-Acids-5-000-mg-10-5-oz-Powder

It's actually fine now that I started taking it with a little lemon juice. I'm seeing a lot of bodybuilding forums where people are having the same problem downing the powder without some kind of juice.

Once I finish this container I will DEFINITELY be investing in Xtend BCAAs!

Do a google search and you can find small tubs (30 servings) for about $17. I don't take them every day - only on days when I workout in the morning and won't be eating until 1 pm. Then it's 3 servings spread out, including one pre-workout.

i think your calorie count is wrong, because 4oz of grilled chicken is 165 calories, so the calorie count for 7 ounce would be around 300 calories so nearly double, its a mistake i did before 165 calories is 7 ounce of uncooked chicken, just a tip :)

Lift Like a Girl - You just might like it

After I sent Martin ( Leangains.com ) my chinup vids so he can post them, he asked me about my routine so he could offer some background to the videos. He felt it may help give some direction to other IFing women out there; and I hope it does. I think he's going to post this sometime soon as well, but I wanted to archive it on my own blog. I created this routine from bits and pieces found scattered like confetti across his blog. I know everyone is slightly different and has different goals, so this routine may not be for you. I also know that, after two months of this, I'm stronger than ever before, but will likely have to find a way to shake things up a bit to keep things moving...but I'm not sure how to proceed. In case you rush through the routine without reading the fine print, I generally rest from 3 to 5 minutes between every set. Since I'm only doing 2-3 types of exercises at 3-4 sets each, I'm in and out of the gym in under an hour. Oh, and I only workout 3 ...

I may never eat ice cream again

What looks like ice cream and tastes like ice cream, but has 12g protein, 19g carbs, a paltry 2.5g fat and just 150 calories packed in a 1.5-cup serving? It's not frozen yogurt, it's not fat free ice cream and it's not sugar free ice cream. What you see in the above photo is my newest creation and the clear front runner for my evening dessert choice for the foreseeable future. Meet Strawberry Cottage Delight. To whip up your own bowl of this delectable must-try, you will need the following: 1/2 cup 2% lowfat cottage cheese ~1cup or 5-6 large frozen strawberries - no syrup, chopped (could prolly sub other chunky frozen fruits) 1/2 - 1 tsp Truvia or your favorite zero-calorie sweetener to taste Add all ingredients to a food processor and puree until it reaches your desired consistency. I personally enjoy some strawberry chunks in mine. I plan on experimenting with canned coconut milk, bananas and nut butters in my next attempts. In comparison, an ide...

Optimal Fasting Times for Female Fat Loss - A discussion.

How long should I fast? This is probably the most common question I see among women new to Intermittent Fasting. Unfortunately there is no hard-and-fast definitive answer to this question. We all react to stress differently. Yes, I said stress. Fasting is a stressor to the body - especially the female body. Like money worries, relationship drama, and exercise, fasting will cause the body various levels of stress which can, and often will, result in negative consequences regarding our health. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing most of you have jobs and financial responsibilities, relationships, some of you have children or are care takers of family members. You probably rarely get eight hours of sleep and, let's face it, who has time to meditate daily when living in the real world? All of these things are life's stressors. Now, add lack of sleep, job and family/relationship stress to a boiling pot of intense daily e...
