Week 4, days 2 and 3

Not sure what happened to me all of a sudden but last couple of days I just haven't been into my slow carbing. I mean I have been following the plan but it has been in a very very lazy, approximate, half-@ssed sort of way.

I have had very little appetite these last couple of days and been sort of force feeding myself to get to around 1500 calories.

Don't know why my head just hasn't been "right"

Week 3 macros

I tracked my calories for the last week, just to test how things have been going:

• Sat 15 Jan: 5399 cal, 269 protein, 547g carbs, 246g fat (Ultimate cheat day!)
• Sun 16 Jan: 2109 cal, 225g protein, 122g carbs, 84g fat (not enough legumes)
• Mon 17 Jan: 2053 cal, 179g protein, 194g carbs, 72g fat (just about right I think)
• Tue 18 Jan: 1985 cal, 191g protein, 179g carbs, 68g fat (think I got today spot on)
• Wed 19 Jan: 2268 cal, 208g protein, 87g carbs, 123g fat (not enough legumes I think)
• Thu 20 Jan: 2572 cal, 245g protein, 205g carbs, 104g fat (almond binge)
• Fri 21 Jan: 2128 cal, 240g protein, 82g carbs, 93g fat (too much protein, lack of legumes)

Average: 2645 cal, 222g protein, 202g carbs, 113g fat

So overall I am just about on course - my trainer wants me getting in around 2700 calories a day so I am averaging that fine at the minute. I am definitely getting enough protein and carbs over the course of the week. Fat should be a bit lower - this is due to high peanut butter and almond intake, which I need to cut back on.

But so far I think on balance, everything is working well. We will see what the results say tomorrow morning at my weigh in.
