Last week I started a 6 week cycle of restricted Living Lean eating...for me that means no chocolate treats, no nuts for snacks, no post ride raisins, and no extra starchy carbs around my evening workouts...
All other 'on plan' food is OK....that means no sugar, flour, wheat, processed foods, salt, dairy..but lots of veggies, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins.
So far so good...
Cutting back a bit more on my fruit this week, so my basic menu looks like this:
Breakfast: (Always PWO because I ride my bike afterward)
Protein, fruit, starchy carbs
AM snack: Protein, fruit
Lunch: Protein, starchy carb, veggies
PM Snack: Protein, veggies
Dinner: Protein, veggies, starchy carb on days prior to lifting, I may opt out of this if I work out before dinner.
Evening Snack: Protein, fruit or veggies (fruit post workout, veggies otherwise)
Target Calorie number each day is 1700 - 1800...
Workouts:
Cardio: Bike rides - 6 days per week; also mini 10 minute cardio blasts and/or plank drills on off days from strength training.
Strength training: 3 days per week
Some of the recipes I am eating include:
Pumpkin Spice Muffins
Basil Tomatoes and Squash
Mushrooms Italiano
Peanut Butter Muffins (only 2 of these per week - not every day)
Gingersnap Muffins
Applesauce (my recipe)
Turkey Meatballs al a Tosca
Chicken (Turkey) Saute w/ Tomatoes and Basil
Veggie Soup
Balsamic Chicken and Onions
Mahi Mahi grilled w/ Orange Muscat Marinade
