low carb power lifting diet tracking

[overhead]

One more thing, on other keto diets I ended up feeling real flat, both mentally and muscle wise, but with this level of calories it has not happened. I am solidly in ketosis and still do not notice any effect on my energy levels.

Can I see what you eat and what times????? That's what I'm looking for....

Ok, I will use july 29, I start work at 3pm, thats why the times may seem a little strange

1100am Protein shake
1200pm 3 eggs, 3 slices of bacon
130pm Raw spinich salad, 3 cherry tomatos, 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
300pm 3 slices of salami, one once cheddar cheese
530pm 2 large burgers
700pm 1 more burger
1000pm A bunch of pep pieces, like half a bag
1200 2 tablespoons of olive oil straight

Here is what I ate yesterday:

1100am post workout protein shake
1215 4 eggs, one once of cheese, 3 salami slices
300 2 atkins breakfast bars, 2 hot dogs
530 eas protein bar
7pm 2 hot dogs
1000 2 hot dogs
1200 another stupid hot dog
200am 2 slices of turkey and fiber supp

I usually would not eat this many hotdogs , but I got stuck at work and had no choice. I may never eat one again . I believe Bodybf eats a little cleaner than I do, but I am not sure.

looks good.......i take glutamine,protein shakes,multivitamin,fish oil,and amino acids........those are pretty much what i stay consistent with.....

Yeah, I eat a little cleaner, but your diet looks good so far. More sodium and less veggies than I care for. None-the-less you have the basics. A ton of fat, plus some healthy fats thrown in, lots of protien, and you're eating 8 times a day. Any idea on your calores or fat to protien ratios? No, you shouldn't get as flat on higher cals in keto. Give it till the end of the week though, you'll be losing glycogen by day 4 or 5, just before the carbup.

no offense, but "yesterdays" menu was a toal and complete disaster.......sorry buddy.....might have been better off fasting.....

JKurz, he is trying to bulk on low carbs, but I would tend to agree.
Overhead, hot dogs often have alot of junk added in that you shouldn't be eating. Way too much sodium and preservatives. You need to check them for nitrates also. I believe you arr doing DePasquale's low-carb bulking diet, and I know he hits on that subject in at least on of his books. If possible, try to keep the processed meats to a minimum.

i know bro..just dump the dawgs............

You guys are right, no doubt. If I had a *choice* which I did not, I would not have eaten any hot dogs at all. But we lost a bunch of systems at work and I could not leave. It was either hot dogs or crap out of the snack machine. I usually leave work and go to the store, but with the systems down and me stuck on a call until 4am I could not leave. Thanks for the feedback. I need all I can get. I try to stick to mostly fresh beef. I debated not eating at all but with the level of training I did yesterday I figured I better atleast get the calories and fat and just hope the other crap does not hurt me too much.
Dr Pasquale does mention it , he suggested avoiding processed CRAP like hot dogs. I *know* I can lose the weight without much trouble, but I am really focusing on atleast maintaining muscle mass if not increasing it. I would prefer to err on the side of too many crappy calories than going 10 hours without eating. But again, thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming. I do not offend easily

Oh, and about the veggies, I do need to increase what I am getting. I love raw spinach, plan to go buy a bunch tomorrow. I can eat a couple of cherry tomatoes, and lettuce also. That is, as long as I dump olive oil on it first
