4487 Cals
459 C
301 P
159 F
and only eat foods that digest well. Do you mind elaborating on that? Possibly a quick gimps of what a day, meal wise, looks like for you? Thanks

Sure, here's today's meals as an example...

Breakfast:
3 eggs, cooked in 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Al Fresco chicken sausage patty
Coffee with sweetened vanilla almond milk
1 banana
Fistful of salad greens

During Workout Shake:
2 scoops Gatorade powder
5g Creatine
3g Beta Alanine
Salt, a bunch of shakes
Nu-Salt (potassium chloride), a bunch of shakes

Post Workout Shake:
2 cups whole milk
120g of oats, ground up fine in coffee grinder
Scoop of True Nutrition Carrot Cake protein

1st Lunch:
6 ounces of beef liver, with Sweet and Smoky seasoning on it, pan cooked in olive oil
125g of rice, cooked in 1.5 cups of beef bone broth.
1 Tbsp of butter
Fistful of salad greens

2nd Lunch:
8 ounces of 93% Ground beef
90g of rice, cooked in 1 cup of beef bone broth.
1 Tbsp of butter
~100g of sauerkraut

Dinner:
~8 ounces of sirloin, grilled in cajun seasoning
~200g of multi colored mini potatoes, roasted with baby carrots, tossed in olive oil, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, rosemary, and thyme.

Snack:
2 cups of Stonyfield full fat banana vanilla flavored yogurt, with
1 cup of fresh blueberries mixed in

That's about 4,500 Cals for the day

Today is a workout day though, so there'd be no shakes on non training days, but another whole foods meal instead. Snack is optional, if I'm hungry or need the Cals.

Yes and no.

Couple weeks ago I tweaked my back, so last week I didn't push it. I had more in me this week too, but risk/reward is factoring in right now.

I was just going to take just a 5 lb jump over last week, but that was too easy.
