Workouts:
Monday-Friday: 2 a day workouts, before and after work
Saturday: one long workout with weights and at at least 45 mins of cardio
Sunday: rest
Food:
1300-1500 calories per day... very little if any processed foods, lots of fruit/veg/protein and very little carbs in the evening. Weekends can be a bit more lax.
For instance, today this was my food intake:
Just Apples apple puree fruit cup pre morning workout
Allbran w/ fat free yogurt for breakfast
Green apple for a mid morning snack
1/2 cup jasmine rice, 1 1/2 cup of veg/tofu/chicken for lunch
banana for mid afternoon snack
1 scoop protein powder in water post afternoon workout
salmon fillet with a HUGE salad (w/ blackberries, red peppers, chickpeas, craisins...all measured so I can track the caloric value) for dinner
Verdict so far? Again, I'm starving and have very low energy.
Maybe I need a glass of wine to take the edge off... but knowing how my last two days have been with food/exercise, i'd be hammered after one glass (kidding... sort of).
After chatting with The Husband who is a fitness guru... we've decided that 1300-1500 calories isn't enough for 2 a day workouts. So I'll have to increase by at least a hundred calories. I'm also thinking of cutting down the 2 a days to four days a week rather than five. So i'll have four days of working out twice per day, two days of only one workout and one day of rest... still seems pretty formidable in terms of the contest battle.
We'll see. All I know is that my energy level is brutally low.
