P90X Day 79 + The Abs Diet – Plyo X
Hey dummy, you’re not eating enough!
That was the revelation I came to this morning while trying to figure out where I stand on P90X. In fact, I may be severely under-eating and not realizing it. I started figuring my normal daily intake and I was getting around 1500 calories by supper, which means at least 700 calories to get into one fat burn zone, but most likely not enough to really lose fat for me.
So, today I began the quest of trying to increase my intake.
Here’s how today’s nutrition looked like:
Pre-workout: banana
Post workout: R&R drink
Breakfast: Shakeology
Snack: 4oz cottage cheese, 1.5 oz raising
Lunch: 1 chicken breast, potato salad, V8
Snack: 1oz cashews
Supper: 1 chicken breast, salad, baked beans (1 cup), and around 1 cup steamed veggies
Snack: Protein shake (for the extra calories needed)
I’m hoping adding back that final protein shake/snack and getting more calories in my day may help quite a bit.
For the Plyo X workout, it went very well. Actually, I felt like I started a bit slow. But by the time the end had hit, I don’t think my HR dropped out of the 150′s until the cool down. Tomorrow I’m going to deal with the elbow and see how it feels lifting and doing pull-ups. I may be modifying quite a bit.
