Yesterday was my first nutrition appointment at Extreme Fitness. We went over what I normally eat now, types of foods I like and don't like, as well as, foods I can't have. It was a really easy hour of going over my eating habits. I did mention I can't have dairy, but as for foods I don't like, I mainly went for no bell peppers or plants of the cabbage family or asparagus. I didn't want to restrict myself too much as some of the foods I don't care for just need to be prepared in a different way to make them delicious. The nutritionist is going to make up a plan for me to follow that will break down for me how much of what (protein, carbs, fat, etc) I need during the day and at what times. She is providing this in a general sense, but is also going to provide a meal plan that I can follow for the first couple weeks just so I get used to the increased calories. Some supplements were mentioned, mostly protein powder. As I am not able to have dairy, she suggested a hemp protein powder which is easy for the body to digest and uptake without being overly processed. Depending on the cost factor, I may also look into egg protein powders, provided they are cheaper. I am quite excited to have a standard meal plan that will help me reach my goal and put on mass.
Tonight is another session with my trainer and I have a feeling we are going to be doing arms, chest and shoulders...possibly abs. I say that because those are about the only areas I haven't worked yet. My biceps are still quite sore, but I imagine it will involve mostly triceps, chest and shoulders...the pushing muscles. I can't wait. I am hoping by the beginning of April I will see some kind of results after having my food plan and workout schedule all set up and having been following them for a month. I will probably be taking pictures again around that time.
