Hey Guys! today is the second day of my diet, but this day differs in terms of diet compared to during the week which I will explain later. Currently I am weight training on monday, wednesday and friday and performing 10 minutes of cardio after each weights session, (swimming or treadmill). On tuesday and thursday I do a light session of cardio and eat slightly less carbohydrates during the day, as I will be burning less calories. However today is a rest day, therefore, as I have not damaged my muscles with weights today I will not need as many calories. I eat less calories on rest days (today and sunday) to give my body an extra edge, anyone can try this and it is a great way to loose extra fat. As you have not exercised you will not require as many carbohydrates, so when you cut back on carbs you will not be more fatigued than other days on your regime. Hope this helps!
Rest day diet: (remember this diet is tailored to me in terms of my calorie allowance)
9.30 3 eggs, 3 whites, oatmeal
12.30 chicken breast, brown rice
(less rice than usual by 40 grams)
15.15 chicken breast, 180g sweet potato
17.45 2 haddock fillet, wholemeal pitta bread, lettuce,
1 red pepper
20.30 1 glass skim milk, small 1/2 cup cottage cheese
(great source of casein protein before bed)
This diet is similar to training days, but with less carbs, on monday I will outline my chest and shoulder workout along with training day diet so stay tuned!
