BW: 192 HT: 71” BF:16-17%
Moderately Active (Apple Watch says I burn 700-800 ‘Active Cal’ on non lifting days and 1100-1200 on lifting days)
Today’s macros for example:
Carb 322, Protein 174, Fats 143
Total Cal: 3256
I’ve gained 7 pounds in 2 months (was eating almost 4,000 cal for a bit but saw fat gain and backed off to 3,200) but strength gains are hard to gauge as I started lighter to make sure my body could take the SS Phase 2 workload.
Starting weights: March 26, 2018
Squat 225, Press 105, Deadlift 315, Bench 145, Clean 95 (very conservative due to new to lift), Chin-up 12/10/8
Current weights: Today/Last Friday
Squat 295, Press 125, Deadlift 365, Bench 165, Clean 155, Chin-up 3x8 with 5lbs
Am I eating enough? Only supplements are Creatine MonoH 5g/day (only on 2nd week since saturating with 25g/day x 5) and fish oil pills as my calorie tracker says I’ve been neglecting Omega 3. Half-gal whole milk and two 4-6 ounce servings of meat with 2 eggs and 2tbsp peanut butter make up my protein intake.
