Day 7 (Wed)
Ahh fat. Just when I think I have you under control. Well, I did learn something, duck is so taste because it is naturally very fatty. I thought I was doing good getting roasted duck, but this sucker had 45 grams of fat on its own.
Protein is a struggle so I’m trying to see if there are some better protein shakes. Not to high in sugar and Fat. Over 26 calories. I know Fairlife has another shake with 42g. I think that will be good for after boxing. I saw Oikos has one with 30 grams so I’ll try it out. I did adjust my macros. I noticed that I was able to be comfortable under 1800 calories pretty easily, so I adjusted my macros ration to P150 | C150 | F50 | 1700 calories.
I’m starting to get an idea of what my weekly meals with look like. I’m so bad at buying food I intend to eat and letting it rot in my fridge. So this time around, I don’t want to overcommit. I also think I’m going to stay away from fresh veggies. I’ll do a little bit of fruits but I know I need veggies so I’m going to look at my frozen options.
So this is the end of my first week. My weight is down 2.5% which is really good. I know its water weight and stuff and things will slow down, but I’m happy that the over all progress was downward. Getting on the scale kinda feels like gambling. I’m afraid the number is up, but I’m hoping that it is low. And every time it is low, I feel encouraged to stand on it again. I am worried about how I’ll feel if I see the number go up. I know it may not necessarily mean. I’m doing something wrong. I could have inflammation or retaining water. I know it ebbs and flows. I just have to remember that as long as I maintain the deficit, I will change. Even if it doesn’t always show on the scale.
