low carb power lifting diet tracking

[overhead]

Me workout today, GM's again to 3 reps, 235. 10 more pounds then last week, probably had another 10 in me put did not want to push it.
Yesterday was a strange eating day, I bought a bunch of steaks and all of them were bad, so I had to eat more protein bars than usual. I prefer whole food, but had not choice yesterday.

1030 Protein shake
1145 4 eggs, scrambled and one once cheese
1230 tbsp of olive oil straight
330 chicken breast 7 oz
630 2 eas protein bars (tried to eat steak, but as I said it was bad)
1000 4 eggs and one once cheese
1200 protein bar

Thats it. My main goal is to eat every 3 hours, get 40-50% or cals from fat 30-60% cals from protein and 5-10% from carbs. After this week I will increase the protein and lower the fat to between 30-40%. For the first couple of weeks you need to eat the fat to make sure your body gets use to using the fat as fuel .

If you are looking for more info you also may want to try the metabolicdiet.com . There is some stuff there along with the links to buy the book if you want. It explains the science behind the diet.

I also have to say that writing down and tracking everything I eat is a pain in the a**. I started this thread because a couple of people were interested in my results on this diet, also to force myself to track everything. Feel free to ask any other questions , but I am not an expert, just a guy trying a diet to get leaner and stronger. Your best bet is to pick up the book, it explains in a lot more detail how to adjust the diet to fit your needs. what works well for me may need to be adjusted some to work for you. But like I said, ask all the questions you want.

Then don't track it...no big deal.......suggestion......drop the bars....complete garbage.......good luck.

Uh, ok. I track so I have some reference to what I am doing and how I am reacting to it. It is just a pain in the A$$ to do, but I have no choice. I was not trying to say I would not answer any questions, I was just pointing out that I am not an expert on the subject, and that one might be better off reading the book. But, like I said, if you have a question I can answer I would be glad to.

Aug 4
cals:2370
Pro:213
fat:140
carbs:15

Would have liked a few more carbs today. 15 is a little too low. Anyone else notice that even if you write down every darn thing off of food packages that the fat+protein+carbs never really adds up to the total calories? Guess it really does not matter, the numbers should be close enough.

 

[JKurz1]

how did you figure 15g of carbs? You have a carrot?

 

[overhead]

No, not a carrot. From eggs and a couple of onces of cheddar cheese.

0 in eggs..........animal product

There are about .4 grams of carbs in a large egg. So 10 eggs makes 4 grams. 2 oz of cheddar cheese has I believe 1.2 grams? Don't have any references handy.
