P90XR2

Alright, gang.  Time to restart the program.  

I've taken a full two weeks off from just about everything.  However, with only a couple of notable (and gastrically unpleasant) exceptions, I have remained faithful to the clean diet.  

I have decided I am going to try something a little different with the recovery drink part of the workout.  I have been doing some reading and it appears that consuming a carb/protein mix during the workout itself may have some additional benefits, not the least of which are better growth and recovery.  So, we're gonna try it and see what happens.

I have decided to try something in between the Energy Booster Phase (40% protein/40% carbs/20% fat) and the Endurance Phase (20% protein/60% carbs/20% fat) because I don't think I was eating enough carbs in the P90XR1, but I am not sure I want to get all crazy with 60% carbs.  So I'm gonna do 30/50/20 for a few weeks and see how that works.  

Here's my new diet, complete with brief nutritional data for almost every item (things like tomatoes have very little in the way of carbs, fat, or protein so I just left that off).

DURING WORKOUT SHAKE:

- 1 scoop protein powder - 20 grams protein

- 2 scoops Mass Tech carb powder - 60 grams carbs

(about 450 calories total)

RECOVERY DRINK (mmm)

SNACK

Hummus – 4tbsp 100 calories, 2g protein, 8g carbs, 7g fat

Broccoli – 2 cups (yes, 2 cups) – 62 calories, 12g carbs, 4g fiber, 6g protein

LUNCH

Turkey sandwich – 381 calories

2 slices of bread - 280 calories, fat 7g, carbs 46g, protein 12g

turkey - about 6oz - 180 calories, fat 1.5, protein 36g

spicy mustard - 5 calories

spinach - about 6 leaves - 12 calories

3 roma tomato slices - about 4 calories

Fuji apple - 80 calories, 22g carbs, 1g fat

SNACK

Yogurt – 80 calories, 5g fiber

Walnuts – 14 halves, 18g fat, 2g fiber, 4g protein, 4g carbs, 185 calories

DINNER

Salmon – 8oz filet, 416 calories, 64g protein, 16g fat

Annie Chun's Sprouted Brown Rice 135 calories 29g carbs (2 servings in cup – total 270cal 58g carbs, 3g fiber)

Veggie drink – 2 cups – 100 calories, 20g carbs, 0 fat, 4g fiber, 4g protein

As for those notable exceptions, let's just say I ate the better part of a pizza one time.  And another time I may have eaten more than 2/3rd's of an apple walnut cobbler with vanilla ice cream.  It was wonderful, but I think I broke my gall bladder.

Tomorrow morning the next round starts.
