What a great challenge.  
My protein goal is 208g.  
Let’s smash it.

Getting enough protein has been a game changer for me in my bodybuilding journey.  
I used the calorie counter and it pretty much came up with my current protein goal of 160-180g!  
Here’s my first lunch with 30g chicken - looks boring, it is, but I love it because it makes me strong 😃 Have a great week everyone!

Just finished cooking up my chicken mince for the next 2 days. Always aiming for 200g protein a day, normally land around 200-220g a day depending on what’s cooked for dinner and if I have trained that day (extra shake post workout).

Variables are kept very low, same 3 meals everyday and then slight difference with final meal as the Mrs needs her variety. But it always has to have minimum 40g protein to get me upto the 200g.

Yay loads of protein, that means i got a lot of shaking to be done. Carbs they are my arch enemy, maybe some more porridge oats in the morning will help.

Yesterdays’s targets.  
Went over on calories, protein and carbs but with the exercise got room and all those extras help.  
I try not to incorporate the what’s left tab at the moment just hitting what I’m meant to be at so that on rest days I’m on target.

Wednesday  
Target = Result

Carbs 216 = 234 - 18 Over  
Protein 324 = 234 - 90 Under  
Fat 80 = 88 - 8 Over  
Burnt 1852 Exercise - Steps 18521

I tried scanning in more food to see what I could eat, but everything made everything worse, so thought I’d take the loss on protein and rework what I have for the rest of the week. Macros are hard to balance.

Wednesday’s results  
Training was leg day (tough day 😅)  
End up eating a lot more but was because felt a lot more hungry.  
Calories, protein and carbs over  
Fat under but only just.  
Totals still under with exercise add.  
Went way over on protein so need to hold back bit.
