Odds and Ends, and Another Sample Diet

We trained our shoulders last night. I am not at liberty to post up my current shoulder routine as it was designed by a professional bodybuilder who normally charges (not a small fee either) for his coaching but agreed to work with me on a limited basis to help me maintain what I have built up over the years while I diet down. Based on my current physique my side and rear heads of my deltoids are underdeveloped so all my direct shoulder work targets those areas. A lot of high rep work with drop sets and other crazy things. Imagine doing 70 + rep side lateral raises lol. It is difficult to say the least.

Here is what I am eating today to give you another example of my daily diet. The numbers are almost exactly as I have set my goals for the day. Some days I might have more fat and less carbs and other days more carbs and less fats, but this is pretty much my ideal.

Meal 1 - 2 cups of liquid egg whites. 2 packets of instant grits.

Meal 2- 2 scoops of a protein powder blend mixed with water.

Meal 3-  The same as meal 2.

Meal 4- 1 Scoop of a protein powder blend mixed with water. 2 Slices of ezekiel bread lightly toasted with a tablespoon of no sugar jelly.

Meal 5- 8 ounces of grilled chuck steak with 3 ounces of potatoes and 1 cup of carbmaster skim milk.

Totals
Cals               Carbs                   Fats               Protein
1,994             141                      41                  241

This is as close as I can get to my daily goals. Normally I shoot for 250g of protein and 150g of carbs and the remaining coming from fat. The reality is that it is hard to determine fat intake when you grill a lot of meat so it is always a rough estimate but I usually go over on my fat content and go a bit under on my protein content. That is mainly because I have been utilizing some fatty cuts of meat like steak and porkloin rather than chicken or fish. All meats have their place though so I generally just go for what has the best deals. Today I am utilizing a lot of egg whites to counteract that but I don't think today is going to be any healthier yesterday when I had about 20 more grams of fat and less protein.
