High Protein 3 month Challengers Check-in!!!!

[WhipEffectz1]

Well, today is the 1st and here is what I've consumed thus far:

1 16 oz. Whey Protein Isolate (triple scooped, approxminately 25gs per scoop)

Now I'm about to hit the gym. Don't forget to post what you've consumed and how much for the day.

 

[preciousjewel76]

I can't post a starting pic because I'm on the Hide Your Hair Challenge (among others ), but the one in my siggy is from December.

Anyhoo, here's my protein thus far today:

Breakfast:
Scoop of Jay Robb whey protein (vanilla) - 24 g protein

Lunch:
Serving of leftover chicken with broccoli - not sure of the protein count!

Not sure what I'm having for dinner...I might heat up some edamame and have a baked potato with it.

Ok so far I've had a 3 egg omelet (egg beaters), with veggies and reduced fat cheese.

A yogurt parfait from Mcdonalds I added a scoop of protein powder 20g into it.

A lean pocket with watermelon.

And for dinner I'm going for lebanese food so I will be having fatoush salad (the best salad ever) and tabouli (cracked wheat and bulgur salad).

If your on a diet and there happens to be a Mediterranean or Lebanese restaurant near you try it. Very healthy with all the beans, and veggies they add to food. Plus they use only olive oil.

I had my protein shake today, which is 23g per scoop. I did a scoop and a half so I got about 30+ grams. For lunch I had some chicken and rice.

I'm starting Monday. I'm coming of the Master cleanse and I have to be careful what I consume until I'm totally off.

This challenge for me also coincides with the Sweet Success challenge, which I am just really getting serious about today, and my personal low-carb, sensible (meaning really also watching how much fat I consume) high protein diet for weight loss.

I had three boiled eggs for breakfast -- whites only. Two cups of tea without sugar or honey...I thought I would struggle through one cup of tea, but it really was not at all bad, so I had another...I had chicken and broccoli for lunch and salmon salad as a snack. I did not really count my protein grams because I got totally absorbed (and got no work done, smile) in the thread with 440+ responses. I am having grilled shrimp for dinner with a baby lettuce salad.

Yea, I love Greek and Lebanese food. You are so right about it being very healthy especially those salads!

Yesterday I had a protein shake, a peanut granola bar, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread.

Today I've had a protein shake so far. I'll have to remind myself to look at the amount of protein when I take this stuff so I can accurately report.



ETA: PB&J is 8 grams, the peanut granola bar is 4 grams and the Spirutein shake is 14 grams... So I guess I need to work on increasing my dosage.

 

[glamazon386]

Today I had so far

Burrito Bowl w/ Carnitas from Chipotle - 44 g

Steamed milk w/ almond shot from Caribou Coffee - IDK

I didn't eat breakfast and missed my yogurt. I'll make up for the rest with dinner. IDK what I'm cooking yet.

Question for all of you: how much water are you drinking while you're on this challenge? Excessive protein can mess up your kidneys...

On that note, I want to try to up my protein intake, but it's so hard for me to remember to drink enough water.

Well most american's diets have too much protein in them anyway. I think we're used to it by now. But I'm working on drinking more water myself just because I know I need to. I don't drink a set amount a day though.

 

[WhipEffectz1]

Hey everyone. What have you all being eating? I pretty much eat the same everyday(raw tuna with salad, fruits, veggies) with the exception of last nite when I had some good ol Popeyes Chicken.

So as of today, I've consumed the following:

2 pieces of chicken-honestly dont know how many grams

2 boiled eggs-13g

2 protein shakes-80g

Total including the chicken is somewhere around 100gs.

Ive read up on this and have taken heed to it. However, since I've gave up sodas and most sugary drinks, I have no problem drinking water to ease my thirst. Its amazing what I will drink when there's nothing else in the fridge to drink. I also workout so I need protein for that also. Hope you find something that works for you dear. Sooooo, how is Mr. Marcus doing? Tell him I said, "hello!" lol!

 

[glamazon386]

So far today...

yogurt 5g
string cheese 6g

WhipEffectz - a lot of fast food places have the nutrition info posted on their websites so you could check there for protein content when you eat out if you'd like.

Also, is anybody elses scalp really itchy since starting this challenge?

Nope...but that might just mean you're having a growth spurt!

Today's intake:

Breakfast: Whey protein/fruit drink - approx. 20 g
Lunch: Protein bar & salad - approx. 20g
Dinner: Veggie omelet - ?
Snack: Almonds, maybe a small whey protein drink

I hope that gets me right around 80 grams or so for the day....
