REST DAY

NUTRITION:

Saturday was my cheat meal day. Stacey and I went to Boise Fry Company about 130pm and I pigged out. I really hadn't eaten anything since the night before and didn't feel like eating anything else all day. 

Also, I usually don't post rest day nutrition because I just post training days. Trust me, it is not a day to just go wild nutritionally.  My knee/IT band issues have been causing me to drastically reduce training right now, so I have to be strict. 

REST DAY NUTRITION:

8am-

caffeine/green tea

3 BCAA caps

1 tbps MCT oil

1230pm-

1 tbsp MCT oil

about 8oz of grilled steak

handful of raw almonds

about 1oz of gouda cheese

fish oil

vitamin D

6pm-

3 BCAA caps

10pm-

1 tbsp MCT oil

1 whole avocado with lime, salt and pepper

about 12oz of grilled steak (Yeah, I know this was lots of meat today. It wasn't even grassfed, but it looked really good at the store and was on sale so I grabbed a couple instead of thawing stuff out).

-Big handful of some pistachio nuts. I'm going to have to look into these particular ones. Supposedly they are toasted and only have a little sea salt on them, but I need to look into these to make sure the toasting process doesn't change anything in their nutritional content.

fish oil

1130pm-

Zn, Mg, B6

PROGRESS PHOTO:

Weight is 226#, and the reduced training due to the knee has been frustrating me greatly. I can't do my sprints, and more than that, I know it makes me move less. I am working on a few solutions to it, that don't include chemicals or being sedentary. I always feel like I get soft when I can't train as hard as I'd like.
