Down to the second last day of this practice dial in, and it’s my final leg day on this program. On a very low caloric density carb day in terms of meals, and I’ve been craving my chicken marinated in sundried tomato pesto, so it’s on the menu a couple of times. I change up my ratatouille recipe because I’m in love with eggplant right now, so I beefed up the eggplant, reduced the tomato and switched mushrooms for the pepper. It was amazing! I have quite a bit of whipped white lentils leftover from yesterday’s crepe bonanza, so I’ve been adding 1 or 2 tablespoons with some of my later meals, and the added flavor and creamy, rich texture were a nice change! Just a little bit of decadence can go a loooong way! As for energy, I actually went up 10 lbs on my split squat/squat superset, and 5 lbs on all of my hamstring curl exercises, so I’m feeling pretty excited to have gained strength while dieting. This protocol definitely works!!!
Breakfast, surprise-surprise, is a 2 egg omelette with gouda, tomato and fresh basil. Simple, quick, and delicious, and very low carb…!
Pre-workout I downed t
his whole milk yogurt mixed with a touch of honey and cashew butter, with a few almonds and sunflower seeds on top. Lot’s of fiber, B vitamins, calcium and protein. Yum!
Post-workout 
meal was chicken breast marinated in sundried tomato pesto served with 2 tablespoons of my white lentil puree and my new batch of ratatouille.
Post-yoga meal…pretty much the same as my earlier meal, it was just that good, but I put in less of the lentils and added a dusting of
parmesan and one slivered olive.
Bedtime scooby-snack: Oatmeal!!!
