Yesterday was my appointment with my nutritionist, Lora. She is amazing and has come up with a nutrition plan that I quite like and should be able to stick to no problem. Granted there are some things that are not my favorite to eat, but like I have said in other posts, I will eat anything that helps this process along. Basically, I need to take in about 3004 calories a day to gain the muscle mass I want. This is a breakdown of about 30% protein, 40% carbs, 30% fat. I will be eating around 6-7 times a day or every 3 hours. I definitely thought I would have to be eating massive amounts of food, but really it is all about how packed with calories and protein the foods are, which is good because I didn't want to have to eat massive amounts.
So now I have to go out and get all the items on the list. I think the hardest to find will be the hemp protein powder. I am hoping I can just pick it up at a local GNC, but if not, I know there are muscle building places here that sell protein powders, perhaps they will have vegan options as well. I just hope it doesn't cost a fortune!!! Planning and cooking meals just got much harder and I will post later on how it is all going.
Tonight is training with Andrew and I am guessing we will be returning to doing legs. My legs are feeling great, but my arms and chest are quite sore and still hard to reach above my head. Heaven!
