I can't eat any more. I'm sooo full. Here is what I have eaten today:

5:30 AM: Bowl of oatmeal
7:30 AM: Protein shake
9:00 AM: Bagel
10:30 AM: Boneless chicken breast
11:30 AM: Fruit salad
12:30 PM: Can of tuna
2:30 PM: Boneless chicken breast
4:00 PM: Protein bar

And I still have to eat dinner. *sigh*
I'm looking at about 2500 calories and 280g protein.

I'm not sure if you've got a very specific diet that you're following, but I used to do the same type of diet...and it stopped me up like you wouldn't believe! I'd go 3-4 days sometimes without a BM.

How many calories does a bagel have?
What are you having for dinner?

 

[I Are Baboon]

The bagel has about 150 calories, if memory serves me correctly.

Dinner will be chinese food.......something healthy though like garlic chicken and broccoli with white rice.

Oh, I ate a garden salad too (trying to keep fiber in the diet so I don't get "clogged.")

Do you have to have the rice? That's gonna add to the clogging!
That all adds up to only 2500 cal?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Actually, I might be pushing more than 2500 calories with the chinese food. The original plan was to have ground beef for dinner. Anyway you have chinese food prepared, you're looking at a ton of calories.

I need to reinstall my fitness software so I can get better calorie counts....

If it does not plug you up you best have some good reading material near the pot. I think I would explode eating that much.

The fiber in the oatmeal and the 2 salads a day are plenty of fiber! (I usually make salads with spinach for us)

If they have it, try the Brown rice instead.
MUCH better for you.

Spinach usually keeps the pipes flowing.

Make sure you are drinking a ton of water since you are taking in so much protein .... (too little h2o with that much protein causes Ketosis)

Also, dont cut fat out all together.

Just my 2 cents

 

[KrusteeButt]

what's ketosis?

 

[Squeak]

Sounds like something to do with Keytones? I heard of the word but cant remember what it is...

 

[KrusteeButt]

Keytone is a chemical process, right?

Well it is difficult to explain so check this out for a scientific explanation: http://www.saanendoah.com/ketosis.html

Basically it can lead to Liver Failure

Ketosis is basically when you deprive your body of carbs, it turns to fat for energy. It's the controversial basis for the Atkins diet. Lots of people think (and I agree) that to be in a "state of ketosis" is very dangerous. Atkins and others think it's just fine.

I had a friend that did the "Atkins" thingy... when he stopped, and went back to a more normal diet, he developed the WORST GAS!!!
Still has it too... I think that he F'd up his whole digestive system.

Good advice! I drink at least 100 ounces of water a day. We have flax seeds to eat when our diets are low in fat, but they are just too nasty to eat. I've been thinking of trying flax seed oil.
