Today’s morning weight: 214. (Again/still? Likely not a huge issue. May bump up to twice weekly weigh-ins once I crack down on things overall.)
Yesterday’s food:
-
Bigass coffee with stevia; everything bagel, 3 eggs cooked in 1Tbsp butter, 3 slices ham, 3 slices turkey.
-
1 slice grain bread, 1 slice cheese, 4 slices turkey. (Basically just half a sandwich)
3A pre-pre-training) Indigo-3G
3B pre-training) 1 scoop Plazma, 5g. creatine
3C training) 1 scoop Plazma
-
Homemade meatloaf (made with 15% lean beef, 1/2 cup panko, 3 eggs, 1/2 an onion, splash of milk); homemade mashed potatoes (just peeled potatoes, boiled then mashed.); sauteed kale with garlic; 1 glass of wine.
-
2 scoops Mag-10.
Rhetorical Math Quiz: The meatloaf was made using 2 and 2/3 pounds ground beef. I ate almost 1/3 of the meatloaf. How much meat did I eat? The answer is “plenty.”
I’m really digging the pre-bed Mag-10. I’ve played around with it before, but I’m pretty sure I’m sold on this being my favorite application. Pulses during the day are fine, but the big hit before bed seems to crank up recovery even more.
If you follow the "eat for what you’re about to do” approach to nutrition, then I think it makes sense to throw down fast-acting, high quality protein when you tell your body “I’mma rest, you go rebuild and grow stuff.” Whether it has to do with how the hydrolyzed casein influences cortisol levels at night or how protein synthesis works during sleeping hours or whatever, I have no idea, but I’m sticking with it.
