Dining with martians

[golvmopp]

WELCOME

For those of you who are new, this log is comprised of two parts. The first one that extends to page five, (IIRC) covers my first crash-cut in 2011. Everything from the onwards covers my journey from 109kg, starting in late April, to present day. My goal is simply to stay at as low of a weight as possible (within spitting distance of 90kg/198lbs) while gaining strength.

Born: August, 1988
Height: 192cm, 6'3".

----------------------------------------------

Bout time to start up a diet-log as well.

I want PLENTY of critique and feedback on this one, since I'm suspecting my diet is a bottleneck on my current goals.

Age: 22
Height: 192cm (6'3")
Weight: 94.5kg (208lbs) (as of June 10th)
Update: 92.5kg (June 18th)
Update: 89.3kg (June 23rd)
Update: 91.9kg (June 27th)
Update: 88.9kg (June 30th)

Endeavouring on sort of a cut - not looking for a super-ripped paper-thin skin look (next summer perhaps?), but all that cardio and LCHF'ing, combined with the torsoshave gave me the first good glimpse of abs I've ever had. It's given me flava.

Without further a-due:

Breakfast:
300+ grams of salmon (~650kcal) (75g protein)

Snack:
About 20+ large cherries, dash of peanuts, 250g of quark (~450kcal) (30g protein)

Whey-shake, 300g of T-bone (~650kcal) (96g protein)

Pre-going-out-to-wreck-shit-meal:
4 eggs, bit of meat, some tuna salad, lettuce (~500kcal) (30g protein)

Drinks:

By the way, if anyone's got any tips on leaner protein-sources and recipes, alternatively recipes that are very low on calories that I can stuff my face and just fill my gut with, I would highly appreciate it.

As it is right now, I eat very little for the first half of the day in order to "save" calories for the evening, when I know I'll be starving for real. It's a really funny sensation to train while hungry on LCHF, though. The sensation of euphoria is easy to confuse with fatigue - but my lifts are still as good as they were before embarking on the cut.

It's funny - I walk around for the majority of the day like a primed handgrenade, but as soon as I down that pound of quark with some fruit in it, I become docile like a child.

When you are including eggs in your diet with omlettes and such, are you using the whole egg, or just the egg whites? I was watching some videos by Kris Gethin and he has some pretty good recipes involving just egg whites, you can make some really good dishes. Let me see if I can find something healthy you may enjoy, because I honestly need to get more variety myself.

Im slowly choking to death on the steel coat oats, they were great at first, but now Im weary

I use the whole egg, of course. Calorie restriction or not, I harbor HUGE amounts of hatred for people who throw away perfectly good food for vanity reasons. QUark - Quark (cheese) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tastes like a less sour, really thick yoghurt.

Superb bang for your buck from all viewpoints. Very easy to season to your liking.

Weight-update: weighed myself two days ago - morning, empty weight: 92.8kg. Five kilos off in just as many weeks.
