Day 5 – Saturday 9.1.16


Day 5 – Saturday 9.1.16

 

Today is carb loading day. After reading up online I found targets for my weight of approx. 800g of carbs, 76 grams of fat and 172 grams of protein. I decided that today was basically my day off and I wasn’t going to measure and just eat whatever I wanted whilst keeping in the back of my mind that I wanted as much carbs as possible. 800g seems insane and unachievable to me though after having only 35g per day for the last week.

I was going paintballing today with friends from work so we stopped off at McDonald’s for breakfast on the way. I have two bacon and egg McMuffins and a hash brown. After running around shooting people all morning I had a chicken and camembert pizza for lunch and then at night time I cooked up a big spaghetti bolognese and shovelled in plenty of pasta.

According to very rough estimates on pasta intake this is my end of day:

 

Calories = 4388

Carbs = 528g (47%)

Fat = 155g (31%)

Protein 237g (22%)

 

I don’t really care about the results for today, I think it’s healthy to have a day of not caring. According to the research the carb load should last 36 hours and most people do it from Friday evening however as I only started on Tuesday I have decided to just do 24 hours carb load and will go back to keto tomorrow.
