As some of you may know, I've been dieting for a while now. As of right now I'm just maintaining, possibly looking to add a few pounds of muscle while keeping my bodyfat very low. I normally do my nutrition numbers in my head, but felt it'd be a good idea to write things down for a little while. I'm still carb cycling somewhat, so some days my carbs may be high, and others they may be lower.

^^ You are eating 66% of the protein Ronnie Coleman takes every day. That sounds nuts. Do you feel any stomach stress?

I see you use shakes a lot during the day, is that because you're restricting calories or just work related.

Nah, although my protein is not typically that high, It's usually in the 350 range. And, I might even go lower from there since I've been eating more carbs.

The reason for the higher protein and lots of shakes is because I got lots of samples when I went to Teen/Collegiates/Masters Nationals a week ago.

I've been trying to update my log, but MuscleMecca wasn't working for me for over a week. Not sure why.

I haven't really taken any in a while, but all of these were taken within the last month. I've been drug-free for a while now.

It depends on if you cook these or not. If you cook them do not use my idea, if you do not cook them you might like to try it out.

I love this product. It has a great nutrition profile, it has been filtered of amines and thiols so their is no flavor in the oil, and it is cheap for the amount of fatty acids you get. Something like 1200mg of DHA per dollar. which is cheap for the quality of the product.

http://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Products/Product_Details/514/?ProdID=1418

The link is to the product as sold by the company who makes it. If you hunt around online I am sure you can find it cheaper bc i pay 24$ for it in stores, and we all know buying online is usually cheaper.

If you are going to cook them I ignore my idea bc unsaturated fatty acids are easily oxidized.
