What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Well, my IF experiment ended rather quickly. I was experimenting with limiting my meals to an 8 hour window, still maintaining the same calorie and nutritional goals. This DOES work for many, specially in dropping body fat %, but IF (intermittent fasting) does tend to work better for men than for women, though I do know some women for whom this has worked well. I immediately gained 3 pounds, FOR ME I don't think my body quite knew what to do the change and I am not about to let that trend continue nor am I going to drop my calorie targets, not with my activity level. My training volume is starting to go up as I look ahead to competing, or at least establishing my rank, in late winter.

Today:
B: usual breakfast egg/meat/veggie casserole, bit of baked sweet potato, 2 slices fresh side, coffee
~90 minute solo conditioning workout that featured Romanian deadlifts, a sled 3/4th mile, and some technique practice with the KB single arm jerk (video here if you would like to see what that is, I will NEVER be in their class but they are fun to watch ) Green KB = 53 lbs, Purple KB = 40 lbs. Followed my session with protein shake
L: (coffee hour at church) a couple of meatballs, small amount of mashed 'taters and small amount of coleslaw
S: coffee with REAL cream :-)
D: Will likely be medium sized salad with veggies, a bit of roast chicken, and fermented veggies
