Trainer mentioned zig zag dieting. Something to the effect of certain calories set many days and one day higher calorie day. Anyone hear of that? He thinks it might be something to try

well its kind of the same idea of a cheat meal once a week which has worked for me...but not an every other day thing...

My trainer said like every 8-9 days then have a higher calorie day not even a cheat meal really. He wants it spread throughout the day. I think I might have nailed down my meal plan. 132g protein and just under 1600 calories. Carbs and fat I haven't figured yet but will still get with my teacher's coach to discuss meal plans and price. Had to work and do some running around but managed to get in 45 min lvl 5 fat burner program on the step mill. Tomorrow I intend on doing an hour on it along with some calf work and maybe try to improve on the incline pull ups my trainer has me doing so that I am not struggling once I get to rep 8 lol. Had a date tonight and we went to see the Raven. This was our 3rd date and I didn't feel a spark.... I actually wanted to slip my number the guy sitting by us who joined in our conversation multiple times. But I felt it would be rude. My date wanted to continue the evening but I excused myself with the excuse I have been up since 6 and hadn't had dinner... he seemed depressed about it though. I don't have the heart to hurt him.

No he changed it back to weight loss..... wants me to get to 140 before we start heavy lifting where he will probably switch me to a maintenance diet.

Like I said I think I have my meal plan nailed will show him Monday but I am sure he will be cool with it as long as I can prove it is at the calorie count he wants. Thank god for Get Healthy, Go Vegan cookbook! It has macros with each recipe I love cheating!!! Will cut out the banana altogether, cut peanut butter in half, switch to an apple instead of oranges, lunch will be salad with tofu no dressing and caramelized onions with lentils and brown rice, baked great northern beans with chiles and will end the day with some tofu. Will mix in protein shakes for good measure This cuts me way back on my tofu intake but doesn't eliminate it altogether

BTW kinda depressed tonight.... seems love is in the air for all my friends and feeling really lonely. I must hold my head up high and not let this get me down. Just wish my turn would come is all.

Huh, I feel like "love" is crashing and burning all around me.

Anyway..... My friend usually talked about "carb day".... I'm guessing that's a lot like a cheat meal or a high calorie day.

It's so awesome that you have a trainer now! You've done so much on your own, I can't wait to see you continue to transform!

I think I am going to go 8 days set calories on 9th day eat higher. So game plan will be continue to buy cinnamon roll but freeze it until higher cal day and found a box of vegan and gluten free mac and chreese alfredo style going to try on that day too. I am also spending the day working on organizing my room. I need to get rid of some stuff and organize things better so that I have more room. Shoulda bought a shoe rack for my closet door...

why apples instead of oranges? lower GI?

It is because I can eat 1 apple and be fine but when it comes to oranges I want multiple and usually eat at 2. Going to see if I stay fuller between my snack and lunch because normally I am starving by lunch.
