I started my weight cut protocol Monday. The key is to plan it out, shop, then execute. I started my food intake plan Monday and started my water load Tuesday. Getting in two gallons plus has been relatively easy. I drink a lot of water anyway so it hasn't been a chore. I drink 20 ounces of water every hour to ensure the 2 gallons.
Heres what my food intake had been like so far to make weight.
7-protein with coffee. I take my creatine, beta alinine, and vitamins here too
10-banana
12- grilled chicken with a sweet potato
2- apple with protein and coffee again
5 another piece of grilled chicken and a cucumber
7-dinner which is chicken, steak, or seafood with veggies and a small amount of rice.
9- another protein shake. Before bed. I take an "emergen-c here to keep electros in check.
My goal here is consume lots of protein, some good non bloating carbs(but not a lot) and not feel hungry. So far so good. I am hurting for a big coke and Chinese food though. Since I started my water load at 268.5 after a high carb day I have decided to not carb deplete and to let the water load do the bulk of the cut. If I was over the 5 lb mark a week out I would be near a zero carb mark the last few days. Since I'm at a solid 267 during the water load i feel comfortable keeping good carbs in the mix and being 264.5 meet day. I will most like eat/ drink up to the night before the meet and then hold off until weighs the next day at 12. It's looking good so far.
