Day 2:
Here's my complete daily meal plan...
Meal 1: 3 eggs, 1 slice cheese, .5c spinach, .5 bell pepper, 1 tomato, .5c mushrooms (makes a nice little omelette)
Meal 2: 6oz chicken Breast, 1c Broccoli/cauliflower
Meal 3 (Pre W/O): 6oz chicken breast, 1c Broccoli/cauliflower
Meal 4 (Post W/O): 3eggs, 1 slice cheese, .5c spinach, .5c mushrooms, 1 tomato, .5 bell pepper.
Shooting for 1600cals give or take, and keeping it real simple. I plan on changing the menu after 7 days, maybe eating salads instead of broccoli... tuna instead of chicken etc. Not gonna lie though, 1600cals isn't a lot. I don't feel hungry, exactly, just... weird. Training was rough yesterday too... although I went up in all my lifts 5lbs, and decreased the rest time 60s from the previous round.
Today's Training:
DAY 4
HIIT - 18 minutes (90s walk/30s sprint)

I'm also taking 3g fish oil with breakfast and with meal 4 but not counting the calories. I'm not sure what JB's original protocol was with this, but in all honesty, I'm not too worried about 54 calories of fish oil.
Also, 20g creatine spread over the four meals, and I'm going to start supplementing with some BCAAs beginning next week. Any recommendations between powder and pill? Or any brands in particular?
This to me was debatable too... but JB says the difference between dieting with BCAAs and without is night and day... and honestly I've worked crazy hard over the past year to waste any hard earned muscle.
p.s. Just ordered Cressey's Maximum Strength... hello new year's resolution
