Hi Jana,
You’re not the only hungry one. I’m hungry at night and 1st thing in the a.m., too. I workout at 5am. I eat 1/2 of meal 1 preworkout and the other 1/2 post workout. I substitute ezekial bread for oatmeal. It seems to hold me over better than oats. I then drink the post-workout shake with a banana about 2 hours after my post workout meal. I then try to drink 20 oz. of water with BCAA’s until meal 3.
Nighttime has traditionally been my “weak time” of the day so I’ve committed myself to not letting this derail me. I’ve tweaked my macros a bit so I can mix 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with 1 packet stevia, cinnamon and about 100g of green apple a little before bedtime as meal 5. The cottage cheese is more casein protein so it doesn’t interfere with my sleep and helps keep the hunger at bay. I look at it as a treat before bedtime.
I’m not sure if all this is “kosher” or helps but I’m sure this will get easier as we go along.
Hang in there!!Hey Alicia,
I don’t have any social media accounts either! Not even Pinterest! So you’re not the only one!If you can only can do a few pullups unassisted, should we add a band and continue AMRAP or only do what you can unassisted?
Hi Nicole,
First off, thanks for all the videos, recipes, workouts, etc!! I’ve really learned alot since becoming a member.
My question has to do with recovery and energy levels. I’m 49 yrs old and train 5-6 days per week. I do Sunday-legs, Monday-upper body, Tuesday-total body/cardio in a group class (think Orange Theory type group workout), Wednesday-off, Thursday-full body with a trainer, Friday-upper body, Saturday-total body/cardio group class. I also sometimes do 25-30 minutes cardio on my upper body days, depending on how I feel. I take BCAA”s and glutamine to help with recovery 2x per day. I also take a pre-workout before training and protein after workouts.
I don’t compete but simply workout to be the in best shape I can as I age. I’ve found that I’m always tired! I can go to bed at 8:30pm and wake up at 4:30am for workouts but not feel energized. I’ve had blood work done and all came back normal. My macros are 170P, 140C, 40F. I really want to stay away from caffeine pills, etc. Is this normal?
Any suggestions?
