@MoNkeE

Defo log somewhere (on FB as you say, as a blog can get tiresome) will be interesting to read/see progress

Definitely log it, I'll be interested in reading your experience.

BTW, gotta be the best post workout meal right? http://www.myprotein.com/uk/products/protein-muffin

Haha! Saw those earlier

MonKeE, i am going through hell and you post that. I am not even looking in the La Cusine Thread.

8lts of water a day, boiled turkey and no carbs untill Monday - carb depletion sucks.

This is what i have to eat

looks like i am boiling underpants. Let's balance this thread.

Delvis · 20 Sep 2012 at 15:28

Have fish or something, vary it

Where as today I have eaten (so far, its only early):

double protein shake
6 rashers of bacon and 4 fried eggs
vanilla latte (full fat) and a muffin
large 1/4lber meal with extra chicken sandwich and a mcflurry
vanilla latte (full fat) with a chunk of cake

mmmmmm

Delvis · 20 Sep 2012 at 15:30

In all seriousness, would it not be better if you ate something a tad more healthy morba? Or is it pure calories you are after?

Never looked in to the diet and training for strongman things

icecold · 20 Sep 2012 at 15:32

Boiled turkey?!?

SURELY that isn't necessary.

Define "healthy".

If you don't care about adding a bit of bf, pile in the calories.

My super heavy weight powerlifter mate aims for 600g of carbs post workout. Carb back loading ftw.

Love the diet Morba, it's like me on the weekend except you do it every day !

At this point it doesnt really matter. As long as I'm not making myself sick or eating 5000kcal+ it's not going to make a difference.
The idea is to rested and fed enough to make an impact on comp day.

If i had to make weight then it would be different, and tbh this isn't a normal day I'm just being a pig lol.
Most days this week have been 1 coffee and cake and main lunch has been lots of chicken and jacket potato with beans. So all in all it's not a problem

Arhhhhh, i hate you. The highlight of my day has been a flavoured Vitamin C tablet

Yep, i need to draw out all the sodium from the meat that will still be present if i bake or fry, It also seperates any fat on the meat.

To be fair I need to cut back a bit next week and look to start swimming again. Well, maybe week after as next week is recovery

Just a simple question really, wasn't intending to insult anyone.

What I mean by 'healthy' is not donuts, cookies and other high sugar high sat-fat foods. Although I'm aware that things like this can and have been used effectively.

You really are beginning to bore me. Don't like me, put me on ignore please.

And apologies for not knowing the answer to everything in the universe.

Thanks morba, glad you didn't take it the wrong way.

And thanks for elaborating

I wasn't thinking you were trying to be offensive

I was just pointing out that those things aren't inherently unhealthy.

I know theres all this IIFYM sniffing going on around these parts (joking

) but surely eating ice cream, donuts, fried stuff etc etc is just going to make you all lethargic among other feelings (yes, I know that isn't morbas daily diet)

Morba · 20 Sep 2012 at 16:32

Ah you only feel lethargic when you stop eating sugar. Its like a drug come down, just ride high and surf the wave from the moment you wake up till you lay down to sleep lol

Fair enough

As I say, I've never done it, so wouldn't know.

icecold · 20 Sep 2012 at 16:43

High sat fat - not a problem, calorie density aside.

High sugar - it depends on your dietary protocol. Read: http://www.stack.com/2012/06/04/carb-back-loading/

Morba, any of your strongman buddies cab back load?

Not on purpose I doubt, but we all eat well would be the best way of putting it lol.
Except for little Joe who is trying to grow, so he is drinking LOTS of milk at the moment!
