You do cardio before weights? Otherway around is better so you are not too tired to lift heavy.
Doesn't matter if you don't have a microwave, just eat your chicken/fish cold. It is not about the taste, food is fuel, especially right now while you are in a contest. If you don't have a fridge, just buy a couple icepacks and put them in your lunch bag.
I know you can do this, you seem very determined and enthusiastic. So play to WIN
Okay, what did I see that make me say Hm?
maybe these are recipe names of yours that you cook from scratch:
Shrimp Baja Taco
Norwegian salmon stuffed with couscous and dill
Comfort Classics meatloaf
Trader Joes Six Veggie sauce
They just sounded like frozen meals/premade items to me, but if they're not, my bad.
And the Nutriblend is a meal replacement drink, no? Post up the contents of that Nutriblend, and if it has more than 2 or 3 grams of carbs it is likely not a protein shake.
I would also cut out
butterscotch pudding, strawberry preserves, bread, cream cheese, mayonnaise, agave syrup, fruit flavoured greek yoghurt, parmesan cheese, monterey jack sliced cheese, shredded cheese: These are not foods to eat if you want to lose fat. Maybe on a cheat meal in a small quantity. Go with plain greek yoghurt and check your portion size carefully. Agave syrup in my opinion is just like sugar, because it IS sugar, even if some guy in Mexico says it is organic, big whoop it is still going to spike your insulin. Cheese is pure fat, which is OK if you are eating an extremely low carb diet, but you are not really, so I would avoid cheese for a while. If you get your carbs down to 50 grams or so, whatev, add some cheese.
I would suggest you go back to the basics, and stick to the meal plan that needto set up for you below. It looks very well thought out.
Cooking your chicken and fish in larger quantities, like twice a week, and then portioning it in your fridge ready to go could work for you.
For quick protein snacks to add in extra protein you could pack some hardboiled eggs. I advise against eating too many nuts, so if you can stick to a small quantity of RAW UNSALTED almonds or walnuts, you could have those as a snack too. If you can stomach sardines they are an excellent snack for protein (at home needless to say not great for work). Eat tons of fish it is so good for you.
I would have no more than two protein shakes a day MAX, otherwise all that powder will sludge up your intestines.
Salads are great but be sure to throw on a salmon fillet or a chicken breast or something so you are satisfied. You could drizzle some olive oil, red wine vinegar, Mrs. Dash and pepper on and it is delicious, I eat that a lot.
Are you taking some Metamucil or anything? That could help too.
About the gas, your body will likely adjust in time, but you may want to think about adding in some digestive enzymes, like papaya or something gentle to start like that.
