Keep us posted on the eating. I haven’t run BtM because I didn’t want to skimp on the diet and I’d probably wind up doing just that.

Day 1.
Had to finish my fence at 8 am that I was redoing so I just worked out and now I’m going to the grocery store. Gonna eat 6 eggs and a half lb of beef when I get home.

Did 6 eggs and .75 lbs of beef so I can just eat 6 eggs in a few hours, and then eat the remaining .75 lbs of beef in 2 burgers tonight.
Did it in a low carb bowl a la @T3hPwnisher - just taco seasoning, eggs, cheese and hot sauce. Honestly could not add tomatoes or sour cream, I found it pretty difficult to eat it all, as I expected. But I know I can physically get it down, and the simplicity of the diet kind of makes it all up to you - there’s no miscalculating macros or missing something. There’s beef, eggs, and you, and you either eat it or bitch out.

I’m not a sour cream guy, but definitely would throw some salsa on that and call it a day. Tends to help get the last few bites down for some reason.

I betray my San Diego heritage with how much I don’t like salsa. I only eat it on chips. Its refreshing then, but otherwise, I don’t like care for it on anything warm.

I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with one of your posts more.

Haha I could eat it by the spoonful. But, that’s a very understandable experience. I’m not a big fan of lobster which is strange for folks of my region.

Wishing I had @Frank_C’s truck as I start doing the 2nd half of my fence today.
Yes, those are 1x4x12’s hanging out the back and touching the windshield 
First half turned out alright
Never done it before and my friend who was supposed to help bailed. Just need to trim one post with a circ saw.

Lookin good! I did my fence project last summer. I took my Tahoe and thought I’d be able to load everything in the back. I ended up renting a truck (luckily Home Depot does that, too).
How many cross beams did you use (the horizontal pieces to which the pickets are attached)?
I am upset you bought all that lumber and wasted an opportunity to literally build a monolith.

- I’ve seen them done with 2 but it seemed like I might as well have given an extra support.

Good decision. Those pickets will bend if given the chance.
Finished the fence by the light of my impact wrench, lol. 6 eggs to celebrate. .75 lbs of beef (half the beef) and 12 eggs down. Just need to wait a couple hours and then I’ll slam 2 fat ass burgers.
I hope you took a before picture of your physique.
That’s a good idea, though I’m not exactly expecting any spectacular physique gains in 6 weeks.
Bet your legs will be bigger.
They probably will, but as of day 1 the only noticeable change is that taking a shit feels like someone pureed a ghost pepper and rubbed it on my asshole like chapstick.
