Wheetsin 714 Posted July 13, 2012 A ton of us keep daily intake logs on myfitnesspal.com. There's a thread around here with tons of screen names. I'd suggest making an acocunt (free) and starting to add names from that thread. That will give you constant access to tons of daily food logs. Lots of discussion over there about routines, challenges, etc. too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyllfalcon 768 Posted July 13, 2012 4:00 a.m. - Click caffeinated Protein drink 6:00 a.m. - a few ounces of Muscle Milk to wash down a gazillion rx's/supplements 8:30 a.m. - 11 oz. Muscile Milk 10:00 a.m. - 28 grams unsalted roasted almonds 11:30 a.m. - 4 oz. low fat cottage cheese with pepper and salsa 2:00 p.m. - 1 oz. low fat cheese and a few pepperoni slices 3:30 p.m. - 30 grams unsalted roasted peanuts 5:30 p.m. - dinner (always protein only, no room for veggies/carbs) 7:00 p.m. - a few ounces of Muscle Milk to wash down a gazillion rx's/supplements Throughout the day, drinking Crystal Light. I'll have around 100 calories per day, with about 100 grams of protein. I can't hold enough at one time to get so much protein, so I drink some, and eat protein throughout the day. I'm very happy with my progress. Good luck!! 1 HotRod67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
