Here’s a few updated pics from this morning. If nothing else, being sick at least leaned me out a little. Got to find the silver lining somewhere right? The scale has me at 175lbs this am, and yesterday was the start of week 10.

Sorry for the terrible quality of the back pic. Shower was getting steamy and I didn’t realize how grainy it was until now.

pic quality is fine you are looking much leaner if you ask me, you're getting there but we might need to up the protein.

Yea I agree. How would you recommend to factor that into my macros/cals? I’ve got it split at 35% carbs, 35%protein, and 30% fat rn. And I’ve got that at 2k cals a day, but usually fall anywhere from 1750-2100 and just try to adjust through the week and avg it out. Would you say go for 50% protein and adjust the other two accordingly? Just aim for cal goal and protein and not worry about the rest? What would you recommend?

Up the proteins and fats, cut the carbs by 10% each if you ask me.
lets get more omega 3 fats like nuts and high protein foods like bars

So just to make sure I’m understanding, you think sticking around 2000 cals is good? And cut Carbs to 15%, and up protein to 45% and fats to 40%? Or up protein to 50% and fats to 35%? I have some almonds I can add in and some extra omega 3/fish oil I can add in too.

Yes I always say being sick does have some benefits plus it gives your body a chance to rest by force

There’s no doubt. After being up from Sunday-Monday straight for some 30+ odd hours, I slept like a baby last night and woke up feeling rested and ready to go for the first time in over a week.

For upping protein easy, what’s the general consensus on drinking liquid egg whites? I know there’s a lot of sodium in there, worth the trade off? I’ve done this before when trying to up protein and actually don’t have a problem with downing it. Not saying it tastes good by any means, but if you don’t think about it then it’s tolerable lol

I would up the calories a bit and go with walnuts and fish oil if you can, stack protein up to 45% @GDDY

drinking? how about cooking them lol

lol, true. With Cals this low that would be pretty easy to get in.

 

[GDDY]

So what do we think about upping the Cals to 2300, and having protein at 45% (259g), Carbs at 25% (144g), and fats at 30% (77g)?

So ask someone to take pics

Bros. Glad to see that. You're getting better. Sometimes we get sick. That's just part of life.

 

[ROIDDERS]

When you're sick, you're not going to have an appetite. That's just normal.

No reason to force things. Let your body rest and recover.

 

[chesty]

Yeah, golf is definitely a mental game. And it's a momentum game, too.

 

[Ulter]

Yeah, you probably lean that a little bit. A lot of that is going to be water. Make sure your back in there as soon as possible.

Try some cardio and see how you do.

 

[e2]

It's not a big deal when you get sick. There's no reason to rush things and get back.

 

[2Thick]

Take every sickness to its Max.

Don't train during it rest your body, your body can always use extra rest. We put it through a lot.
