Zach's Anabolic Diet Training Log

I’m changing up my nutrition because I’m feeling really hungry around my training time. Also, I didn’t feel like I was getting much in the way of peri-workout nutrition. This is it breaks down this week:

2010 kcal, 238g Protein, 68g Fat, 109g Carbs, 15g Fiber, not counting green veggies

Meal 1- 7.5oz 90% lean ground beef, veggies
Meal 2- 30g whey isolate, 1 Tbsp EVOO, greens superfood powder
Workout- 10g EAA, 20oz G2
Meal 3- 5oz chicken, 8oz sweet potato, veggies
Meal 4- same as meal 3
Meal 5- 5oz chicken, 1 Tbsp EVOO, veggies, 3g fish oil, multivitamin

*Easter weekend was a nutritional blowout. I had fried fish, barbecue, almost a bag of Reese’s eggs, and a large Sonic blast with Snickers and hot fudge. It was probably over a quart of ice cream. Needless to say, my digestive system in not happy.

Walked a Color Run 5K with my mom, we didn’t really time it but it was around 50 minutes.

We went fishing Sunday and I took a rest day. Yesterday (5/26/14) I did 20 sprints in front of my house, 15 second sprint/45 second walk, and that’s it.
