Happy Saturday everyone!! This is my first Full Day of Eating (FDOE) post ever! I am so excited to share this with you :) I was definitely much more conscious about what I ate today, knowing I had to share it with you guys! First I'll give you the break down, then explain how my day went! Breakfast: PB Squared Smoothie (from Booster Juice) Lunch: Chobani Greek Yogurt, Cutie, Angie's Popcorn, Peanut Butter Toast Dinner: Turkey and Veggie Stir Fry Snack: Tortilla Chips and Guacamole, Apple and Peanut Butter I am currently playing church volleyball, and Saturdays we have our games. I was running late this morning and didn't have much time to grab food, but I stopped at Booster Juice to grab a "PB Squared" smoothie . I usually order a medium, and oh my goodness it was SO delicious!! So that was my breakfast, around 9 AM. After I got home, I went into my garage to get a workout in, and afterwards I had a Strawberry Chobani Greek Yogurt . I watched a ...

Hello again! I have been sharing with you some of my own workouts, along with some recipes, but I want to actually take you through a full day of what I eat! I will be sharing those through out the next four weeks especially, as I am going through two different phases of caloric intake! I am going to give bulking another try ! But only for a short period of 2 weeks, so I would not count this as a full on "bulk" per se, but my calories will be slightly increased to help my efforts to put on some muscle! The reason it is so short, is because my school is having a banquet in about four weeks, and I don't want to be carrying any extra fluff! There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a little extra body fat, especially especially when trying to bulk and gain muscle, but me personally I want to look my best on this special night! I also want to see how my body responds to bulking for two weeks, then cutting for two weeks. I have read about some men doing what they call...

Happy January 8th!! So first of all I want to clarify that there is nothing wrong with planning to "bulk," however I did basically fail at it. Bulking can be a great success, if you do it right; however I did not execute this well. I spent a lot, and I mean hours, of researching how to bulk and reading articles and watching videos, and yet I still messed up. There is one main reason for this: I ATE TOO MUCH. I calculated the following (for my body and goals) on a myriad of different websites using different calculators: TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure- how many calories you burn in a day, including exercise)  BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate - how many calories you burn at rest in a day, as if you were to lay in bed all day) Body Fat Percentage (how much of your weight is made up of fat) How many calories I would need to intake to lose weight (calorie deficit, under your TDEE), gain weight (calorie surplus, over your TDEE), and also maintain weight (right at your TDE...
