What did you eat today

What injury do you have?
Click to expand...
Partially torn tendon in my forearm - 4 months of doing nothing except leg workouts with BW and stretching. I train my forearms and hands like I do my legs or any body part I want to fry. I overdid it getting ready for something and my body told me enough not so politely. I am back to front/reverse wrist curls, specific stretches, proper (strength building - not stress balls) ball squeezing, and a lot of farmers walking prior to hitting my workout. Slowly, it gets better but I am unable to do some exercises yet as it is too much on the back of my forearm.
I will get there but I am not dim and enjoy the deload (now that I am working out again) and building up strength / size again by adding weight on a few exercises each time I workout.

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.

I’ve narrowed my veggie selection down to a few that I enjoy & digest well.
My staples are green beans, zucchini & spinach. 90% of my days will include those 3. Once in a while I’ll substitute in some bell peppers, mushrooms or grape tomatoes. I don’t track the calories in my veg because although they do differ, I don’t eat a significant portion (about 50g per meal). Odds are the difference in calories will only be 10-20 if I’m making a substitution.

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.

Haha you would be surprised. Photos can be quite deceiving. I had a relatively thick/blocky waist. I’ve never actually taken a taper measure to any of my body parts to be honest. I know my pant size at work is a 34 waist but I need a belt to wear them comfortably. 32 fits fine around the waist without a belt but is far too tight in the glutes and legs. So I’d say I’m around 32’ inch waist if I were to guess.

LOL - I have to buy the new stretch pants or my crotch (and no that is not saying anything about my junk) or ass will rip out of the pants. I recall wearing nice 34 Alberto dressy jeans, a nice Bugatchi short sleeve shirt and a suit coat to a semi-formal event. One of the ladies I know well walked over and said ......do you know you have a hole in your 'area' but I wasn't looking. Looked down and realized it was more than just noticeable.
I just laughed, took my long tucked in shirt and wore it out and made sure I had my briefcase in front of me most of the time. I have 32 and 34's too but I sure don't need a belt lol. The 8 way stretch long sleeve and short sleeve Bugatchi shirts are pretty much impossible to rip but cost a lot. The alberto and another brand I can't think of are dressy jeans but feel like work out pants because they have so much stretch. Again, expensive but worth it if you don't have to buy new pants cause your zipper, crotch or ass rips (although I took my Alberto pants back as they were almost $300 and only lasted a few wears). My favourite suit brand fits perfect but more than once I sat down and heard rip and realized I ripped the ass out of them. Had to walk out quietly with my briefcase over my shoulder and holding it behind me, go home and change.
So much work on core strength has made me more blocky than I would like to be (plus excess blubber that needs to go) - if I was to ever give a shit what people thought which I really don't. When I see you or Fittraders V - I think back to when I was younger and had a similar look. I assume the pic you have up is when you were getting ready to compete - you look pretty shredded?

Luckily I don’t have to shop for any “professional” looking attire. I own one pair of jeans and a few pairs of khaki pants that have been collecting dust for quite a while. I generally wear sweatpants (shorts in the summer). I tend to avoid occasions that require me to dress nicely haha.

I have yet to compete but I have my sights on doing so in 2026. My avatar pic was the end of my dieting phase about 3 months ago. I was within striking distance of stage ready but still would have needed a few more weeks to get the last bit of fat off my lower back & glutes. I’ve since sprung into a rebound and I’m currently up over 30lbs still maintaining great conditioning considering 👍.

Chicken breast and pineapple is an underrated duo to be honest. Pineapple can even help with digestion because it contains bromelain which helps digest protein.

That combo has been a pre workout staple for me for years now. Tastes amazing AND aids digestion like you mentioned. I was doing steak and pineapple for a little bit as well which is also a great combo.

In addition, the digestive enzymes I take from Revive also has a hefty dose of bromelain in it 👍.

My coach is continuing to stuff me with more food. Some days it’s going down easily and I’m ravenous for more. Other days it’s a little uncomfortable. I’m noticing a correlation between how well rested I am, and how high my appetite is. As the week progresses & I begin to feel run down from training & work, my desire for food plummets quite drastically. Not sure if anyone can relate.

Hey man, Im currently a fair amount soft than I was in my profile pic. Conditioning is still in a pretty good place though. I’m up close to 35lbs compared to that pic.
I’m 5’10 & was roughly 170lbs in that photo. My weigh in this morning was at 207lbs.
I do tend to have to eat more than the average guy to grow, but I think it’s mostly due to my output. I work long days spent mostly on my feet & walking around. I train hard and keep cardio moderately high. I’m a big believer in turning your body into a machine with high input AND output will build the best physique.
