Zone Day 2

3 Block Lunch (missing one slice of apple, someone got hungry).


5 Block Lunch (these pictures don't show all the almonds, we had more after remembering 3 x on fat blocks).

Day 2 on The Zone. I am still figuring out the portions.
Breakfast. Tacos: 2 corn tortillas, 5 oz of Barbacoa, 1/2 an avocado, salsa and a jalepeno. I forgot to eat my apple for dessert which left me a little short of carbs.
Lunch: Tuna sandwich, 5 oz tuna and 5 tps light mayo, 1.5 apples and 30 almonds
Afternoon snack: 3 almonds, 1 peach and 1 slice of turkey lunch meat.
Dinner: Stir-fry with veggies and left-over salmon.

Probably not going to have another snack.

Notes: I am doing 3 x on fat blocks which is recommended by Robb Wolf in the Performance Menu. I am just doing 3 x fat on meals not snacks at this point. Still reading up on this.

Recommendations: Fruit and tuna was too hard to digest for me. I think I will have a salad next time.

Zone Day 1

This was my lunch today. I did an intermittent fast (Sunday 8 pm to Monday 11 am) because I worked out Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Monday is my rest day. Two eggs (2 blocks protein), 3 oz chicken (3 blocks protein)and 2 cups of broccoli (1 block carb) cooked in 1.5 tbs olive oil (5 blocks fat), with 1 peach (1 block carb) and a full cup of blueberries (2 blocks carbs). OK, I was short a block of carbs, still it is a bunch of food. I was pretty full but have had both my snacks before class this eve. I will be ready to eat afterwards for sure.

Next up, cutting out the Diet Coke. I might be cranky for a few days, bare with me. ;-)
