I wanted to thank you all for the support, it’s palpable and the reaction is noticeable
I’m hoping to go gym for a chest session tomorrow
I bought an air fryer yesterday, it’s much easier to make potatoes in 15 minutes, I have 500g chicken strips dry brining in the fridge, I’ll marinate and air fry it soon, I’m thinking to try marinating/tenderising the chicken with a whole egg and I need to keep it mild
I think I need to eat baby food for now
I’m trying to get the planning and organisation part of cooking mastered so I don’t waste my time in the supermarkets and the kitchen by doing things wrong
I want to become more efficient with my time and energy in the kitchen
590g raw weight air fried potatoes and approximately 300g raw weight chicken breast strips
Next time I’ll cook less potatoes per meal, I just wanted to see how much I need
The chicken came out delicious and tender, Thank God and thank you guys for the support
I didn’t even put oil with the chicken, I washed it then then dry brined it for about 1 hour, and then added 1 whole egg and poked holes with a fork and mixed and added Mexican chicken powder and lemon and mixed and I just left it to marinate while I cooked the potatoes, that’s it
Edited to add the food digested well and fast, I finished it all and experienced no bloating and I got hungry for another meal fast, but next time I’ll try 400g potatoes and 200g chicken breast per meal, I had french toast for my next meal because I was craving it, I can tolerate that aswell, I think because the bread is cooked
I had to take my air fryer back yesterday because the handle was broken, they sent it to service and they said they will let me know next week if they will exchange it or whatever
So today I used an oven bag for my chicken and I roasted potatoes
The roasted potatoes was delicious and perfect, they reminded me of Christmas, they took about 1 hour in the oven, I just washed, halfed, put extra virgin olive oil and sea salt and coarse pepper and put in in the oven at 200 degrees, then I added the chicken in the upper shelf
I took the chicken out too early and I had to put it back in but it still came out tender, juicy and tasty
Thank God and thank you guys for the support,the difference is so palpable, i Love you guys
I can tolerate oats again, 3 years ago I was intolerant to oats. Ive been craving oats for a long time, maybe because I didn’t eat it for a long time, I know someone who is allergic to bananas who loves bananas.
a few days ago I saw some organic oats in the supermarket and I was like I might as well since I’ve been unwell, what’s one more day, and it was delicious with maple syrup, and to my surprise I felt really good afterwards, like my body has been depleted and is replenishing stores, no negative symptoms
I’ve started mixing the zero calorie maple syrup with the full calorie maple syrup so it taste better
I use a bread that sucks up as much egg whites as possible and tastes good for french toast, I seem to get 1L egg whites into 10 pieces of bread
My condition has improved, Thank you guys for the support
Hey guys, I know I’m refeeding, ab visibility is very good and I literally think I’ve just started reaching my maintenance calories judging by how I’m feeling, I want to thank you guys for the support
I’m tinkering away on my diet and kitchen skills, I can’t find the chicken bone broth stan effording uses so I’m thinking to try to buy a chicken carcass or back from the butcher and making my own chicken bone broth, I’ll have to research how, I don’t know if I it’s safe to leave the stove on all night and if the broth will evaporate away or if I should buy a pressure cooker or slow cooker, and then I’ll remove the bones and put the broth in bottles in the fridges for use daily
I was going to do over 100 sit ups per again, it’s easy to stick to it when it’s daily but…My abs are feeling sore today so I’ll give them rest, I remember when I did 100 sit ups everyday for 3 months, it’s in this training log, I remember getting all the results when I stopped doing the daily sit ups
So I think rest days can be good for the abs
I’m still thinking about the ideal frequency for ab training, E2D or 5 days on 2 days off
So I put 1L egg whites in a container with 10 slices of bread and didn’t add any more bread, once I had used my last slice there was a little egg white left over, but not enough for another slice of bread.
The bread I’m using soaks up so much egg whites they become difficult to remove from the container in one piece. At first I tried one hand but they would break. I have sterile kitchen gloves, now I use gloves on both hands to get the slices of bread into the pan in one piece.
So I never felt the need or motivation to count calories in the past because I could maintain visible abs without counting calories
But now I’m bulking I feel like I need to start counting to reach my goals
On my previous bulk I counted the calories roughly, I wasn’t being that precise, for example I counted the calories from my monthly shopping, i was basically on 3x 1000 calories meals per day, with protein shakes throughout the day
But it feels like my calorie needs has gone up now
You guys make me motivated to start count my calories.
I’ll start weighing maple syrup and chocolate spread, and counting everything, Terrence ruffian said using spoons is not accurate.
I’ll start on 3100 calories per day
I feel really good on 400mg testosterone per week, this and 420mg is actually the highest dose of testosterone I’ve been on and I haven’t tried this dose without tren, so I thought I would try the 400mg test without the tren and see what happens, let’s see if what teach is true, it feels like the 400mg testosterone is helping. I’ll try to bulk a few months on this dose and then after that I’m thinking to try deca to bulk
I have actually been exploding with mass recently but I think that’s just you guys support

I accidentally put too much maple syrup on the plate, my oats have been coming out just how I like since I’ve been measuring the oats and milk, the weight for the egg whites and bread is estimates, I need to learn how to count the calories in french toast.
I used walnut oil to fry the french toast, it makes it delicious.
I accidentally bought wholemeal bread so I’ll need to check the calories when I switch breads
