17 Weeks Out Jr USA

by: Joe Lyons - January 21st, 2008

Not a lot of changes this week except adding a little more cardio. My weight hasn't changed much at all, but that's due to the fact I'm holding more water now. When I'm dieting I do everything I can to hold water. My body naturally does, so when it comes time for me to dry out I can drop more water then I normally would. Right now I'm using a ton of sodium on all my food and it only increases the closer to the show I get. I'm also taking 10g of ON's Creatine and I'm using Taurine as well. My water intake is about 1.5g a day. This past week I didn't have a cheat meals, but I will have one this week. I usually have either a pizza or a burger and fries. Those two things I crave the most when dieting.

He's my food intake for the week again.

Here's the break down. It's not very specific, because that's what I pay for.

I have 2 high carb days, 3 medium carb days, 2 low carb days each week.

High Carb days are 600g of carbs, 250g protein, NO ADDED FAT

Medium Carb days are 200g of carbs, 300 protein, 20g added fat

Low Carb days <100g of carbs, 400g of protein, 60g added fat

20min of cardio 5 days a week in the morning or post workout.
