I don't think the amount of protein intake changes from how active you are. You should intake based on your weight. I think it's 1g/lb of body weight? Something like that...

 

Well because im a cheapskate i usually just eat nature valley bars then binge on chipotle after work

 

Chipotle is life

 

@zacharypaul89

 

Contradicting statements here bud. Cheap ass and and then binging on chipotle.

 

Sounds like you're getting plenty of carbs!!

 

Chipotle is garbage

 

Picked up mine today

 

I had more of a bowl cut but very damn close

 

Lol if i eat too much while working i get the feeling of not wanting to work. Its literally alot of running and lifting in a hot warehouse in florida during the summer. Dont feel like throwing up. And as others have said. Chipotle is life. Im in there so often ,4 days a week, that i get free shit often.

 

I think thats one of my fitness problems, tons of carbs and no protien whilst busting my ass. And they give us free ice cold gatoraide sometimes ill skip break and just eat gatoraide lol

 

Well, I converted to morning workouts and LOVE IT! Woke up at 6am and jumped straight out of bed, slammed my pre at like 6:02, ate a banana at 6:03 and was lifting by 6:20. Energy was high and everything. Got done WAY faster than in the afternoon b/c me and the wife were the only 2 in there for the majority of it, so I was back home by 7:25. Ate 4 eggs and a chocolate Pop Tart and went to work....although, I feel a mid-afternoon crash is sure to come...also, I dunno how this is gonna work on school days when I won't be getting home until 10:15ish at night. Gonna try to start going to bed as soon as I get home from school instead of playing on my phone for an hour or so.

I think if you're not getting adequate protein then you may see an increase in muscle mass if you're doing manual labor. How much do you weigh? The safe # is 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.

 

I've noticed I don't have mid afternoon crashes anymore ever since I switched to mornings. Also I just feel better overall throughout the day. Then when I get home I have plenty of time for schoolwork, netflix and chill etc.

 

I'm kind of tired now, but I think after a week or so I'll get used to it #earlymorningcrew

 

Im attempting to carb cycle one last time before I bulk just to see how much leaner I can get. I've been low carb the past 2 days, drinking a ton of water, sodium intake still the same and its working I think. I'm gonna take tomorrow off and carb up and then hit legs Sunday.

 

I weigh 195 and 6'2 all fat is on the gut. Arms are toned from work lol
