Body weight hit 162 this morning. I did not have time for DDR as planned, but ate fairly well. Today's food is similar to what I have during the week, perhaps a few more calories than usual.
Meal 1 - 7am - 870 Calories - 46 Grams Protein Can of Chili 1/2c Skim Mozzarella 1 Slice Whole Wheat Bread 8oz Canned Pineapple
Snack 1 - 10:30am - 300 Calories - 29 Grams Protein Protein Shake 1/4c Mixed Nuts
Meal 2 - 2:30pm - 600 Calories - 20 Grams Protein 1 Whole Grain Pita 2oz Hummus 4oz Baby Carrots 4oz Red Grapes 1/2oz Dark Chocolate 10oz Skim Milk
More typically I trend towards 2000 calories a day. Breakfast was unusually heavy, due to running out of cereal. I also eat more vegetables during the week. The variety of foods I consume since ceasing to eat out has dramatically increased. Today marks 6 weeks since my last meal at a restaurant.

I've never done it long enough to know. The food on the day above is a high protein day for me.
Up until this summer, every training cycle my protein would consistently stay over 100 grams a day, I'd get severe digestive problems. Persisting through them results in me getting real sick and ends the training cycle. The last time it happened was right before my personal training conference.
Sometime this summer I learned to increase my fiber and water in proportion to the protein. I've been able to tolerate more since then, but adjusting to the new job has interfered with any real results.
I can't imagine sustaining 200+ grams of protein a day. Even 150 seems unrealistic for me. Reply to this

Yeah, fiber and water is essential - I start to bog down without it.
On high days I do 2 large protein portions 50-75 grams always with veggies - 1 early in the AM and one 9-10 hours later. A protein shake in between - 40-50grams. For snacks I mainly eat seeds and fruit. Reply to this

150 grams of protein from shakes - I have no idea what would happen to me at that level. 50 grams a day from shakes is the most I've ever sustained. Reply to this

Oops, I must not have been clear. The "2 large portions" are solid foods. I do the shake between those meals. I only have more than one shake if I'm replacing a meal. Reply to this
