After years of winging my diet I have finally sat down and worked out what I need to survive then lose fat and then be full of energy for the weekend.
I have created a quick spreadsheet of all the food I eat (creature of habit) and listed the protein, carb and fat (split sats) in grams per portion (Macros). If you wish you can then calc calories by using the theory that 1g Protein = 4 Cals, 1g Carb = 4 Cals and 1g Fat = 9 Cals.
By using online calculators I now know my metabolic and fat loss macros.
In summary I was not eating anywhere near enough of the correct food groups to hit my ideal fat levels. I followed the similar opinions of many on here and avioded fat as much as possible. However realistically you need to program your body to burn fat in order to lose it. I now eat my fats pre-workout and results have been good. When I say fats I mean nuts, peanut butter, seeds, oily fish etc.
I am now much more aware of what I should be eating and actually on my metabolic days I seem to be eating all day. In three weeks of starting this I have dropped 1.5 KGs and can start to see more definition.
The spreadsheet took an hour of searching the cupboards and it was done. I follow this strictly Mon-Fri and more ad-hoc on the weekend but stay aware.

Like that monoposto watch and love the way you can print out a 1:1 scale model of any Autodromo watch on the website. You can wear a paper version around the house before you buy! I havent tried it though......

Hey guys,
Looking for some replacement Keo Look Classic pedals or similar.
Anyone got anything they are looking to sell. Would need to be able to post to Cardiff.
Thanks,
Chris
Hey all,
Up for sale is a Nixon Rotolog in Dark Wood.
It comes with all the boxes (outer box is slightly tatty). Watch is in used condition and has a few scratches (reflected by the price) but does not spoil the watch. Also comes with a full set of bracelet links.
It has a fresh battery and comes with the receipt for this (cost £18)
A great, fun little watch that I have enjoyed but an incoming forces a couple of sales.
Price is as I paid, a very cheap £70 with £4 for postage
