Day 224. Carb cycling revisited + week 32 stats + photo

Day 224 photo




















Calories in: +2118
Calories out: -2020
Surplus: +98 (5%)

All last week I ate a ton of food because of the extra exercise since I started month 2 of Insanity. Being the poor student that I am, I can't feasibly afford to continue eating at such a high rate. To combat this problem, I will begin carb cycling again to keep up a high deficit, keep my metabolism from adapting to the deficit, and keep food costs relatively stable. I can't wait until I'm no longer poor so the cost of food won't factor into which dieting techniques I use!

The carb cycling plan effective starting tomorrow: 3 days at a 30% deficit (~2000 calories), 1 day at maintenance (~2800 calories).

I've calculated these numbers based on a weekly average of my caloric needs to make meal planning easier. As a result, my daily deficit may not actually be 30%, but that's okay because it all averages out.
