Overall the past two days have gone well. Wednesday the 3rd was a non-workout day for me. I felt sorer than I usually do from my workouts, like my recovery is slower. I attended a middle school band concert for my son which went from 7:00 p.m. until 9:20 p.m. Of course I was hungry when we got home so I ate, twice. I was over my caloric target by 19, the closest I've come yet. My protein intake was within range, but again the canned beans took my sodium levels up past acceptable. I did not reach my carbohydrate goal and was under by 123 grams.Thursday the 4th I was 369 calories under my target, at least 6 grams short for protein, but the closest yet for carbs, under by only 62 grams. My training program is Push-Pull-Legs with parameters set primarily for strength. Thursday was leg workout day. It was tough but I made improvements over my previous leg work day which took place prior to the start of my experiment. I won't go over the menus in detail, I'll just tell you that I ate nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables and more nuts and more seeds. Here's my workout from Thursday: Seated Calf Raise: 99 lbs. 4 sets of 25 reps Barbell Squats: 45 lbs. for 12 reps, 135 lbs. for 12, 265 lbs. for 3 sets of 12 reps Single Leg Press: 180 lbs. for 4 sets of 8 reps per leg Leg Presses: 580 lbs. for 3 sets of 6 reps super-setted with: Standing Calf Raise: 600 lbs. for 3 sets of 12 reps
