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.
