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:

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 :)

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 identical

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 exercise and a lack of food and your bo

Finally - Progress Pics

Recently I've been struggling with my motivation. I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. My workouts stalled (poor diet, lack of discipline and no sleep). Then, today, I hopped on the scale to a solid 116.0 lbs (was literally 117.8 yesterday at the same time). I think the two pints of Guinness I had to celebrate St. Patty's with my girlfriend and the bar appetizers I shouldn't have eaten may have given me the "Whoosh" that Martin Berkhan speaks of. "By the way, a nice bonus after a night of drinking is that it effectively rids you of water retention. You may experience the "whoosh" effect, which I've talked about in my two-part series about water retention. That in itself can be motivating for folks who've been experiencing a plateau in their weight loss." In any event, I'm pleased at my results so far and look forward to seeing how I will look in another two months - just in time for Memorial Day at the Jersey Shore. Here the
