Stuks food journal

[Trea]

Alright I'm going to start this food journal since I'm having a hard time with desipline on quantity and cheating and what foods I should stay away from. Hopefully this will help keep me accountable of what I'm suppose to be taking in.

A breif history: I started off 2 years ago 247 and 30something percent bf. Started lifting to loose fat after a couple of months started getting my diet in check and in 1 year I dropped down to 222 and 16%. Then I got this hair brained idea to quit eatting carbs douuuu! This time last year I was 213 14% I got stuck at that weight and couldn't get any lower so it was the end of summer and I started eating again and I ate and I ate and I got back up to 247 and 22%. Jan I eased off the eating a little and came back down to 240 by May when I started with John Pinder.
John laid me out a program of how many carbs and protien I'm suppose to take in and a cardio schedule, well that lasted about a month then "it was to hot to do cardio" and I kinda started eating what ever the hell I wanted to. 3 weeks ago I got my bf checked at the gym, 264 and 24.6% So its time to get everything back in check again.
My goals: I'm wanting to get back down to the mid 240s and hold that for a while. I'm putting thought into possibly doing my first meet next Winter in Clayton.
I am an emotional eater I eat out of bordum & I love to eat.

stuk,
glad to see you posting!! ok, first off, we need to eliminate your "processed" foods- (fettucine, white bread, chinese, mexican, etc) and add in more fibrous carbs (broccoli, cabbage, sweet potatoes, etc). also, you dont need gatorade, and you shouldnt be drinking so much milk. there is an AWESOME product by Hood that is available as a milk sub- it's called "Calorie Countdown" and you can get it pretty much anywhere. it's low in sugar and has added protein. great stuff!! they also make a chocolate flavor that rocks!

i am also noticing too many sugary carbs (bananas, white potatoes, PB&J sandwiches, etc), ESPECIALLY later in the evening. this is like pure sugar! no good. try limiting your carb intake in the evenings. do you usually workout in the mornings?

I lift Monday Wednesday Friday 5am
Cardio Tuesday Thursday and sometimes Saturday 6am

Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich is not a usual I didn't feel like cooking and the tuna sandwich was not appealing so I went for the ol PB&J
Bananas I usually eat on the way to the gym
Potatos.... hmmm I eat alot of those time to find something else
Milk I'm trying to limit to mornings and bedtime with my shake guess I need to just use water with it.

I weighed in at 261 at home the morning I had the BF checked gym scales had me at 264, this morning I was 256

Hanna if you see me eating the same junky meals, don't think that I'm not listening, I'm trying to make a slow transition to a healthier eating habbits. Right now my 1st goal is to eliminate the "oh my gosh I need an insulin shot" Junk Food, aka the doughnuts the reeses cups that garbage, then the next step is better choices of carbs. I only need to drop 11 more pounds for my goal and 16 pounds tops over the next 5 months. Just going to take it slow. Besides when my wife cooks something I don't turn it down I'll have to slowly work with her on changing what she buys and cooks. If I actually do decide to do a meet next year I need to stay around the 242 mark, 220 is something I 'll never see again so I'm not even considering it.

5am 1 cup egg whites 2 whole eggs 1/2 cup oatmeal water
10am shake 50g protien 60g carbs
12pm hamburger helper lazania green beans
4pm shake 50g protien 12g carbs
6:30 2 cubed steaks 1/2 cup corn (I know my wife cooked I ain't turning it down but I only ate just a little bit)
7:30 still hungry stacking on roasted peanuts
9pm shake 50g p 12g carbs
