After switching back to low carb I am where I want to be in this next round of competition prep. I will be honest, if I feel I am not ready to compete in five weeks then I won't. The Emerald Cup is the biggest competition in the northwest and I want to represent on stage. If I don't look better then last time then I won't do it.
Here's my current typical day of eating:
8:00am
1 cup of cantaloupe
1 scoop of whey protein
11:00am
1 can of tuna mixed with 2 tablespoons of light mayo
1 red bell pepper
1:30pm
Oh Yeah protein drink (I love these!)
5:30pm
6 ounces of pork or chicken
1 cup stir fried veggies (mostly cabbage)
8:30pm
6 ounces steak
Mixed salad greens with oil and vinegar dressing
1,540/207/30
This is a lower calorie day for me. I range between 1,500-1,800 on a regular basis. The protein is high, I know. I just work better that way. You may work better with more carbs. I have been occasionally eating a little brown rice and I stir fry my veggies in oil. When I crave a little something extra I eat an Adkins bar. They are calculated by net carbs (total carbs - fiber - sugar alcohols, all which don't impact blood sugar) although it worries me because I never count impact carbs, I count ALL the carbs.
Still lifting heavy. Some programs want you to change to lighter weights and higher reps for the last four weeks but I don't think I'll do that. I need the shoulder mass, which isn't very much now and counts for a lot when competing.
