I’m still kinda sick so today was a shit show
Breakfast 5 eggs
Too busy for lunch so I ate 4 pecan butter tarts and had a Pepsi to keep running on sugar, ate as I worked. Only worked a 10 hour shift, who needs a break.
Fucking walk in freezer condenser unit on the roof, the capacitor is dying for the condenser fan, so I had to take the top off and spin the fan blade by hand to get it going. The pump kept kicking off on high pressure because the fan wasn’t running to condense the gas. Ran it for 5 hours, it will hold temp till I do the same tommorow, then get a new cap on Monday.
Why does the freezer always break on the weekend?
2/3rds of a 4 lb chicken with rice and tomatoes topped with boccinni cheese
I think I’ll eat a bag of popcorn with butter for a night time snack. Then go to bed.
Next week, back to eating properly, lol.

Careful telling English speaking Canadian and, especially, Americans that you eat horse meat. I got an earful a few times. One lady even told me I should kill myself lmao.
I get the weirdest looks at work when I tell them that my ground beef is actually ground horse lol.
Merry Christmas, the grind doesn't take any holidays here!!

So far
6 premium plus cheese and crackers with butter
Few chocolates
2 cups of coffee
1 Coke Zero
Dinner is tenderloin roast with potatoes which I will gorge myself on till I feel like exploding
Then likely a bowl of potato chips later on.
Back to normal eating on Boxing Day.

When you say veg - what is your typical 'preferred group of veggies'. Asking as the macros are vastly different between carrots and asparagus for example. Either way - doesn't matter, keep doing what your doing (not a critique at all), just curious.
Upper body (about up to 75% what I was doing prior to injury but still some exercises I will not do) day as still rehabbing injury but expect I will go to P/P/L shortly for a few months before I change it up again:
1. 3 cups of coffee with 1% milk, 2 glasses of water with 2 tablespoons of ACV, 3 hard boiled eggs. 2 teaspoons avocado oil, 1 avocado, 4 oz top sirloin steak, and approx 30 almonds.
2. 1/2 cup cream of rice with 1 scoop of whey protein.
weights
4. 200 g chicken breast, 1/2 cup Jasmine rice, 1 cup broccoli
5. 1 tablespoon of EVOO, 1 banana, 2 whole eggs, approx 20 almonds
6. Home made chili on small amount of rice - guess at macros but tomatoes, didn't measure but a lot of extra lean hamburger, bell peppers, 3 cans of beans, tomato paste, seasoning......1 bowl which is approx 1.5 cups.
Approx 3400 cals, 185 grams carbs / 150 grams fat / 225 grams protein / 45 grams fibre - I had to guess some of meal 6 but damn it was good.
My Fitness Pal tells me I should have more carbs and less protein but it gently piss off lol. It will be a fight not to eat more Chili during the day as I love it and it vastly increases my fibre intake. Most docs say a goal for an average person is 20-30 grams of fibre but I am bigger than the average man (in the US it is averaged at 200 lbs and the scary part is the average stomach circumference is 40.5 inches and height 5'7 for 20 and older). Back to 225 lbs and I am over 6 feet tall and my stomach for the last tailored suit I had made was 33 inches so I had some room to move or I will just end up ripping the ass out of the suits which I have done multiple times and is rather embarassing. That is not a humble brag - just a fact, look at @BanditNOLIMIT - suspect he has a 28 inch stomach or @FitTrader who might be less but big everywhere else and ripped.
