Day 20

After sleeping in a bit again today, it kind of took me a while to get up and going. It was Christmas morning, so I took my time to enjoy the morning with family and finally got to eating after I worked up an appetite.

12:30PM
-Fruit Salad-


3 md. Banana 315 cal
1/2 Mango 67 cal
1 sm. Apple 77 cal
1 md. Apple 95 cal
2 oz. Blueberries 32 cal

Total 586 cal

This was extremely delicious, but towards the end, the apples became a bit too sweet for my liking. I finished the whole thing, but next time, maybe I'll go light on the apples.

1:30PM
-Snack-

1 md. Banana 105 cal
1 Carrot 25 cal

Total 130 cal

On my way to the skatepark, I grabbed a small snack and was ready to go.

-Exercise-
Another two hours of skateboarding today was a great workout for my body. I felt much looser and focused today than I did the day before. I assume taking it easy yesterday somewhat helped my body adjust to getting back into the swing of things, not to mention that today was much warmer than the one before.

2:45PM
-Small Green Banana Smoothie-

3 md. Banana 315 cal
3/4 Cup Baby Spinach 8 cal
1/2 Cup Mixed Greens 3 cal
3/4 Cup Water

1 Carrot 25 cal
1 Cup Grapes 104 cal

Total 455 cal

I took a break to snack a bit more to get some extra fuel to finish up the last hour or so of skating.

4:00PM
-Snack-

1/2 Cup Pineapple 42 cal

Upon getting home, wasn't too hungry but needed something to keep me going.

5:45PM
-Big Salad-


1/2 Avocado 161 cal
2 Carrots 50 cal
1 Stalk Celery 9 cal
1 Cucumber 30 cal
1 lg. Lemon 24 cal
3 lg. Leaves Romaine 15 cal
1 Cup Baby Spinach 10 cal

Total 299 cal

This AMAZING salad courtesy of my wonderful girlfriend Kaiti was just mind blowing. She spent some time preparing it and boy did it revolutionize my take on salads. This was like me taking another step in the realm of salads for me. Previously, I added just carrots and celery to my normal bland salad base. This, while only adding avocado and lemon together with the other vegetables, had such a crisp, pure, and simply, magnificent taste and totality to it. This is my new standard for salads for sure!

8:00PM
-Cookies N' Cream Ice Cream-


Ice Cream
3 1/2 Banana (frozen) 368 cal

Brownie
1 Chocolate Brownie (chopped)
1/4 Cup Raisins 109 cal
1/6 Cup Cashews 125 cal
1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil (melted) 130 cal
1 1/2 Tbsp. Cacao Powder 36 cal

Total 768 cal

The day just kept getting better and better. This was definitely the best ice cream or desert concoction I've made to this day in my life. The ice cream is the same that I've made before, and the brownie was actually half of what I had made a few nights ago, which I had been storing in the fridge. I just chopped up the brownie and sprinkled it throughout the ice cream, and again, my mind was blown! Such a great delectable treat!


Since I only had one brownie left, I made Kaiti her very own raw "vanilla" and cacao flavored banana ice cream, topped with cacao nibs. Of course, I let her taste a few chunks of my amazing brownie, which she LOVED, so I promised her that we would make more Cookies N' Cream very soon!

9:40PM
-Snack-

3/4 Cup Pineapple 62 cal

11:30PM
-Green Banana Mango Smoothie-


2 md. Banana 210 cal
1/2 Mango 68 cal
1/2 Cup Baby Spinach 5 cal
1/2 Cup Mixed Greens 3 cal

Total 286 cal

After that ice cream brownie desert earlier, I thought I could get through the night without eating again, but I decided to snack a few more times before bed.

12:30PM
-Snack-

1 md. Banana 105 cal

I guess it was a bit early when I had my desert for the night, so the extra snacks afterwards really gave my body the fuel it was asking for.


Approximate Daily Totals

Carbs                    Fat                    Protein                    Total
602.5g                  48.5g                 40.5g                       691.5g
80.11%                 14.51%               5.38%                     100%

Again, I ate more today than normal, most likely due to the extended period of exercise that I was able to get in. My body demanded it, so I supplied it. I was a bit over on the fat today, but I think I'm going to stick with that regime in order to attempt to get my protein levels up as well. If I have to go overboard on the fat just a bit in order to get the protein up during the last 10 days of the trial, I'm going to do it. As I've stated before, I would definitely like any weight gain, so I figure I'll give it a try.

And that concludes Day 20!
