Eat to Perform Day 8: Control Day

Another rest day today. Needed it. Shoulders, traps, forearms, and glutes are STILL sore. Today's meals were much more alinged to my nutritional goals. I've pretty much realized that I need to have good 8 oz portions of meat at my meals if I want to come close to my protein goals. However, I should probably start eating turkey sausage to cut back on a little fat... 

After reading an article about a woman who won a previous Eat To Perfom challenge, I wondered if I should add some sprints on my rest days to boost fat burning. So, I posted my question in the ETP Forum, and got a couple responses - they're so responsive! Both suggested that I NOT add any hard work on my rest days, and that it might actually inhibit fat loss if I did so. One coach suggested reducing my protein and carbs on my rest days by 10 grams apiece. So that would make my goals as follows:
  • WOD Days: 2500 Calories: 225gC| 185gP | 96gF 
  • Control Days: 1900-2000 Calories: 100-125gC| 175gP | 86g



Breakfast:
  • 3 eggs scrambled with spinach, green pepper, and onions (the line cook added a little butter - hope that doesn't wreck my stomach!)
  • sausage patty   
  • topped with hot sauce
  • 1/2 grapefruit
Lunch:
  • 8 oz buffalo turkey meatballs
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
Snack 1:
  • 4 oz Boar's Head Cajun turkey/chicken with 1t coconut oil
  • 1 cup strawberries & blueberries
Dinner:
  • chicken curry with veggies
  • 1/4 c white rice
Snack 2:
  • 4 oz rice milk
  • 1 oz coconut milk
  • 1 c Fruity Pebbles (CRAZY, right?!!!)
