Better again.. after many little helper pills (Bifidus Balance, Jarrodophilus) and the first 2 letters of the B.R.A.T. diet = bananas & rice. I'd already started eating rice spontaneously as in rice noodle soup as I craved more carbs than usual but then got pointed towards the BRAT diet.. and bought a bunch of bananas. Only had one but I think it helped as well.

Seems that when ill one automatically needs a ton more carbs. I got as high as 55% carbs just a few days ago and feel fine on that much.. protein fell down to the lowest in a long time (65g or so) as I just didn't feel like eating more.
Was craving SALT soo much though yesterday but since 1. my favourite potato crisps aren't on sale anymore (thickly cut dill crisps/chips) and 2. salted popcorn is too hard on the intestines with the corn shells I just had plain chicken soup w basmati rice... very yummy and salty enough as I'd simmered it for long enough so there was less liquid.

So now I'm leaving for my first workout again... no depletion WO but a tension/hypertrophy WO .. 1. I'd not even planned one since I'm supposedly in a mini-bulk and 2. it'd be dumb to do this after having been ill.
I'm going to cut down the volume though, just to be on the safe side.
