    Folger's - Coffee, 1 Cup
    Splenda - Individual Pack, 3 packet

    My thoughts exactly! :laugh: :laugh: I don't even eat that much on exercise days. Also the protein total is pretty high. Thrust - are you trying to increase muscle mass?

    I don't want to play...I did bad today! :mad:
    I only have 365 calories left for dinner...and that is with 1 hour of Spin Class tonight and 30 minute Abs class. Thank God for exercise to help undo some moments of weakness!

    I think my daily intake without exercise is around 1850.
    I can get anywhere from 500-1200 calories back by exercise.
    But still 2000 before it was even 2pm wowee.

    Perhaps I should have included the caveat that I'm not trying to lose fat. I posted this just for ideas that others may use in their own diet. As well, I'd like to see what everyone else is eating so I may borrow their ideas for my own routine. :happy: I'm transitioning to maintenance for a few weeks before I transition into a bulk. My hope is that by September I'll once again be acclimated to the increased carbs (I never reduce protein any lower--even when cutting) and can add between .5-.75lbs per week. In January I'll begin a 12-week cut back to ~9%-10% bodyfat for summer 2009 ab season :smile:

    As for my workout:
    I lift--hard-- 3 times per week. No cardio. Today was a lifting day:bigsmile:
