My 1st high calorie day has come & gone… so, did I reach my TDEE goal of 2505.98 calories? Keep on reading to find out.

Here is my Day 46 recap:

• 6.5 hours of sleep
• Exercise for the day- Upper body split workout (Chest, Biceps & Abs), 1 mile run
• Work-out routine: (Chest, Biceps, Abs)
  1. Incline Machine Bench Press (chest)
  2. Flat Dumbbell Flyes (chest)
  3. Pec Deck machine flyes (chest)
  4. Standing Barbell curl (biceps)
  5. Dumbbell Preacher curl (biceps)
  6. Reverse Barbell Curl (biceps/brachialis/forearm)
  7. Floor crunches (abs)
  8. Reverse Crunches (abs)
  • TOTAL time - 1:15
  • TOTAL calories burned -426 calories
• Steps walked - 7,749
• Water - 6 (32 oz bottles) = 192 oz.
• Eating- still trying to keep my meal ratios to:
• 40% carbs
  35% protein
  25% fat Today is my high calories day (TDEE -maintenance/2505.98 calorie goal)

Meal Macro-nutrient Ratios: (Drum roll please……..)

Protein- 35.3% (right on the money!!!)

Carbohydrates- 46.1% ( a bit high)

Fats- 23.3%

TOTAL calories = 2135

** So… I didn’t reach my goal of 2505 calories ( I was about 371 calories off) - however, I did surpass my low calorie days by 381 calories. Meal planning is a must if you want to get your ratios just right. I think I’ve done just ok for the 1st week and I know that with more organization & planning I will be able to get this down to a “T”.

Tomorrow is back to 1754 again… i’m soooo relieved!! I honestly feel kinda guilty because I ate sooo many calories today. But I know it’s necessary to keep my body from going into starvation mode since I’m burning up many many calories with my workouts. I’m still losing inches & weight so that’s good.

That’s it for now…
