It was a one off, although I can still eat like a fatty, which is why I like Leangains/CBL style pig-outs vs multiple small meals. There's the holy-grail of 1kg potato dry weight too haha, I need to attempt that.

On training days with the PWO-feasts, I tend to not have anything more than about 70-100g of any one source because it's more fun to mix things up, e.g. last night after the gym I had about 150g dry weight rice (2/200g chicken and some relatively harmless sauce for din-dins), fruit, several slices of Soreen and oatz.

Today is all about dem fats and keeping carbs under 50g... going Nandos later before Iron Man 3, so I've got a rather sad looking chicken salad and O3 caps for lunch so I can go all out there later - thinking I'll go for either a platter for two of a whole chicken and 2 large sides (large cob and the pea mash would be all my carbs for the day, according to their nutritional info) or the butterfly chicken and reg. cob and mash, with the 10 wing roulette and halloumi thrown in too.

BRB indulgence and still dropping dat fat.

You can go absolutely mad at Nandos and still eat fa calories. I normally go for whole chicken + 5 wings + 2x halloumi cheese.

Works out about...

1250kcals
150p
11c
65f

Not cheap though!

You're doing it wrong ;)

I eat peri peri nuts, beanie wrap and sweet mash potato. It all comes to:

1650 cals
p/c/f is 49/124/105

That's 400 more cals than you (though as it's all veggie there's 1/3 of the protein :p )
 
Eh, I can throw the boat out for a chicken-fest once in a while. It's handy their site has all the macros lol. Quite happy to blow a load on spicy chicken once in a blue moon.

I'm usually about 150/50/60 (P/C/F) on rest days, although I sometimes add more fat and drop carbs depending (usually -10 carbs = +5 fat). Training days it's like 150/270/50, although I usually go 290/40 or 300/35, as I try and keep fat low in the PWO feast if I can help it.

Notsureifsrs? Strong meal bro ;). Also, notice Somnambulist is specifically looking to keep his carbs under 50g for the day (I prefer under 30g).

I would probably keep carbs even lower on rest days but often I have to plan my macros around what's being made for dinner and it can be hard to keep them that low. Saying that, today is obviously an exception, although I like to have veg/salad with every meal. Could do a load of chicken, halloumi and ratatouille I spose (platter thingy is a whole chicken and 2 large/1 Fino side).

Hows do you eat 2 - 300g of veg and only consume 10g Carbs ?
 
Thinking of attempting CBL, I got the PDF but still not sure where to start carb wise. I'm 18%bf at the moment but don't have a lot of muscle. Was thinking 2 days of 300g carbs and one day going up to 500g. Does this sound about right?
