Wolfnatas's diet & workout journal attempt


175lbs, 6'1" Don't know body fat yet.. calipers in the mail.

It looks like the diet is the key to good gains, so here's my first attempt at a diet journal. I intend to log as many days as possible for 2 weeks to find out my daily caloric intake.

Day1 (non-workout day)

Oatmeal 41carb, 8prot, 5fat - 225 cals
Nutri-grain bar 26carb, 2prot, 3fat - 140 cals
Peanuts 1/4 cup 5carb, 7prot, 14fat - 163 cals
Cursor's chicken pita 52carb, 44prot, 8fat - 536 cals
Apple 21carb, .5prot, .5fat - 81 cals
Peanuts 1/4 cup 5carb, 7prot, 14fat - 163 cals
Protien shake 72carb, 56prot, 23fat - 694 cals
(2sc whey, 1/2 cu oatmeal, 2 tbsp peanut butter, 1 banana)
sushi 39carb, 5prot, .5fat - 181 cals
Day1 total 261carb, 131prot, 67fat - 2183 cals

Briefly looking at day one I'd guess I need to shift my carbs to earlier in the day, and get 40 or 50 more grams of protien. Any thoughts/pointers/ideas? I'll post day 2 tommorrow.

Not sure if this apply's or not and I'm sure if it doesn't people will tell you

I was under the understanding that fish other than canned tuna shouldn;t be eaten more than once a week because of the iron buildup? Correct?

I like the idea of pushing the carbs early and laying off as evening approaches. good plan

Day 2

I got my caliper today, and it looks like I'm 20% bodyfat. Bummer.

Oatmeal - 41 carb, 8 prot, 5 fat - 225 cals
nutri-grain bar - 26 carb, 2 prot, 3 fat - 140 cals
1/4 cup peanuts - 5 carb, 7 prot, 14 fat - 163 cals
cursor's chicken pita - 52 carb, 44 prot, 8 fat - 536 cals
apple - 21 carb, .5 prot, .5 fat - 81 cals
1/4 cup peanuts - 5 carb, 7 prot, 14 fat - 163 cals
cursor's chicken pita - 52 carb, 44 prot, 8 fat - 536 cals


Lat pulldown
Dumbell lat pull-up
Dumbell shoulder press
miltary press
upright row
dumbell lateral raise
shoulder shrug
20 minutes cardio

protien shake - 31 carb, 49 prot, 18 fat - 469 cals

Cursor's chicken crock 15 carb, 50 prot, 10 fat - 198 cals

Day's total 248 carb, 211 prot, 80 fat, 2511 cals

I did better on the protien today but I think I might've had too much carbs.

I don't know about the fish and iron thing... Cursor might though.

I can't take credit for the early carbs idea... I lifted it from one of Cursor's posts.

One minor observation: Your post-workout shake should be designed with a very minimal amount of fat. 18–23g is far too much. A good portion of your fat is best consumed in the evening with some protein (and reduced, nearly eliminated, carbs).

Thanx for the input, Cursor. That's the kind of info I need. I'll try to lower the amount of fat intake pre and post workout when I can.

Day 6

Oatmeal 41c/8p/5f - 225 cals
Nutri grain bar 26c/2p/3f - 140 cals

cursor's chicken pita - 52c/44p/8f - 536 cals
Jerky - 5c/12p/.5f - 70 cals
protein shake - 10c/42p/3f - 236 cals

Totals 249c/166p/75.5f - 2677 cals

Better on the protien, but I guess I need more fat? That's amazing, considering that lunch and post lunch snack were taco bell. Bah humbug. Eat more peanuts I guess.

Totals 287c/174p/87f - 2789 calories

Protein looks about right I guess. I managed to lower the fat on the post workout shake, but not on the pre workout meal. I could still lose some carbs in the evening if I can figure out how.
I like those bench dips... first time I've done em.

Looks like a low carb day here, and not quite enough calories. Not to mention that I still need more protein.

I think this was about the best day I've had so far, dietwise. Looks like I got enough protien, I guess I could be short on fat... but I dunno if that's worth worrying about. Who knew that sardines without crackers were still pretty good? Better than a can o tuna anyways.
