Carb Cycling: Week 3

Posted: October 26, 2011 in Carb Cycling

Well I’m not sure if I fell off the wagon with this program or not really. I’ve pretty much been sticking to the rules. I’ve had my 6-7 meals with 1/6th of my daily protein requirement. I’ve kept 3 days of low carbs and 1 day of higher. This past weekend, the higher day included whole grain pasta with sauce and a whole grain bread and a glass of wine. I really couldn’t say if that day was a bust or not. I stayed below my TDEE. To account for that day, I pushed into 4 low carb days instead of 3 this week. So today is the last low carb day and tomorrow is another higher carb day. My higher carb days, I get milk with my protein, shredded wheat and a no sugar latte with milk. My milk is always fat free. So what is today’s menu besides lots of water?

4:00 am – wake preworkout of creatine, Jacked3D and during workout chugging Green tea (no sugar).

4:20 am – Shoulders and Tricep workout with vigorous intensity. HIT training basically

6:00 am – Protein shake with water, flax seed and wheat germ. 6 eggwhite omelet with a little sesame oil, onions and spinach, fish oil capsule

10:00 am – 1 cup Oats

1:00 pm -  2 chicken breasts with onions baked

4:00 pm – handful peanuts and some almonds, protein shake with wheat germ and flax seed, tuna fish

7:00 pm – no meal, maybe a handful of nuts.

8:30 pm sleep

As far as how I feel and look this week. I look bigger and more massive, especially through the arms, shoulders but my abs are less defined this week which is a disappointment from last week. I expected week 3 of carb cycling to bring more definition …not less but I’m going to trudge on. Tomorrow, I will increase my calories by about 400.

My weight this past Sat was 237, which is down a couple lbs from two weeks before.

My height is 6

Waist is 35″

Body fat is 16% by the calipers

I really wish I had a nutritionist look over my daily routine and see where I could make some improvements.
