Only got down two eggs and a piece of toast with peanut butter before I began to feel sick. Then about an hour later I ate a McChicken and some fries then I had a few glasses of milk. B/C I was able to drink a decent amount of milk after eating, I guess I just have to build my tolerance to solid food back up again or something, because I definitely had room. Still going to be a work in progress. After working out today I had a grilled stuffed burrito and got all of that down, which seems like a decent meal. But I hit the gym today and put up
squat: 160 x 3 x 5
Bench: 135 x 3 x 5
Deadlift 155 x 1 x 5
The squats were hard as hell. I'm guessing because I hadn't eaten much up until that point. It seems like if my eating habits don't get better, then I'm going to stall soon. I'm still at 161 lbs despite two days of resting and eating, so I know just need to eat more.
Any recommendations on quality of food (like spaghetti versus a wopper and fries). Or do I just eat to consume huge amounts of protein and calories?
