Modification to Current Plan

I have to bike to work (about 1 hour each way) at 6AM (no busses run out here before 6:30) each day for 2 weeks.

While I’m not worried about the extra “workout” as it’s not grueling or sprinting, I am concerned about the steady-state cardio thing.

and I’m out of BCAA’s…my gym ran out.

So, I figure I’ll add in an extra meal (maybe 350-400 cals) toward the end of the day but keep the meal plan otherwise the same.

I’m still on a restricted cal diet (1750 on nonworkout days and 2000 on workout days), and this would increase the totals to 2250 and 2400.

So the plan is:

6AM Liquid breakfast (Pro shake and olive oil)

6:05AM Leave pretty much immediately afterward(6am)

9AM-2nd Breakfast-still liquid and fish caps as I’m on the go still.

12noon-lunch (hopefully solid food if they are serving pro-AD foods). If not, I’ll find some eggs somehow.

1pm: ride home

2-2:30: Shower/get ready for other job

2:30-3pm: trip to other job

3pm (immediately before I teach a class): Meal 4 (liquid and fish caps)

6PM (1hr before leaving for the gym): Meal 5 (prob liquid/olive oil)

7PM workout

9PM Simple BBQ Lamb or Beef with shake.

Yeah, I know it’s not a lot of solid food, but for the next 2 weeks there is very little options (timewise).

Just throwing out the situation and my idea to cope with it in order to see if anyone has any suggestions about dealing with it.

(Edit: This was supposed to go on the “My Experience on the Anabolic Diet” thread, but I guess I brainfarted and made a new thread. My goal of this post is to try to find ways to maintain LBM.

If a mod sees this, could you please send this to the appropriate thread? Thank you.)

Sometimes we just have ot make do with what we’ve got. It shouldn’t be too bad, provided it’s only for a couple of weeks, and you’re using a good quality slow digesting protein blend.

As long as the overalll caloric intake is what you’re looking for and the macros line up, it shouldn’t hurt you. You may be hungrier, though, than if you ate solid foods.
