Strongisbeautiful Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi! Putting up my workout and diet logs: I'm on week 4 of Jim Stoppani's 6 week to shred program. 6 days a week, about an hour a day of strength training. I have missed one workout in this first month. Workout before work has been the best for me. Today I paddle outrigger canoe for 90 minutes. The program is very high protein, I initially tried to get about 170 gm of protein a day, used Twinlabs veggie protein, Vega protein, and plant fusion protein powders, but my GI system did not agree with that plan, so down to 120-150 gm protein/day. I use cronometer to track calorie, macronutrient, and micronutrient levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work, the paddling sounds like great fun MF Thanks!Paddling is good fun! Most every ocean sport is fun - get a workout while playing! Too much protein? Keeping it in range of 1.5-2.5 g/ kg ideal body weight. Trying to drop fat and preserve/ increase lean mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 What do you think of Vega over all? I like it. Have you read Robert Cheeke's book or Brendan Brazier's books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strongisbeautiful Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 What do you think of Vega over all? I like it. Have you read Robert Cheeke's book or Brendan Brazier's books? Hi! I try to get most of my protein with whole foods, but I can't eat enough or will eat too many calories if I don't use protein supplements. I have tried several vegan protein supplements. So far, Vega is my favorite for taste and least GI upset (read: gas ), although plant fusion was really good as well. Expense is the main thing for me with Vega, it is a treat, but I use less costly vegan proteins intermixed. I like Garden of Life, too. Yes, I have read Robert Cheekes' book and all of Braziers books and cookbooks. I love to read, and reading about health and nutrition is a favorite. Did you read them/ enjoy them? I have also read a lot of ultrarunner books for the sports psychology side of it, enjoyed the recipes and book by Scott Jurek, Eat and Run.
