I ended the night going out with my fellow interns and ate probably about 2 cups of popcorn at the bar…along with a few brews. Final Stats: Calories: 1588 Carbs: 252 grams Fat: 26 grams Protein: 116 grams Cholesterol: 416 milligrams Sodium: 1974 milligrams Fiber: 40 grams

SNAP Challenge – Day 4: Dinner
Dinner tonight was pretty big since I lifted legs today. Traditionally this is the day that I eat almost everything and everything that I want. The legs obviously contain the largest muscles in the body and thus demanding the most nutrients for adequate recovery/growth. I pretty much just threw a bunch of stuff on aContinue reading “SNAP Challenge – Day 4: Dinner”
SNAP Challenge: Day 4 – Breakfast and Lunch
Pretty standard breakfast today, 2 eggs, 2 whites, 3/4 cup oats, 1 cup mixed veggies, and water. I figure no picture is needed since there already are 2 pics of the breakfast of champions on here. Stats: Prep Time: 5 minutes Calories: 438 Carbs: 51 grams Fat: 13 grams Protein: 32 grams My early snack wasContinue reading “SNAP Challenge: Day 4 – Breakfast and Lunch”
SNAP Challenge – Day 3: Dinner and Final
For dinner tonight I went with the classic tilapia, 1 cup brocoli, 1 cup brown rice (I prepared 2 cups of dry rice earlier). I decided to pan-sear the fish this time with a little garlic and lemon-pepper seasoning. Turned out a little better than the microwaved stuff from Monday.

SNAP Challenge: Day 3 – Lunch
As stated before, my breakfast was huge and I wasnt even hungry until about 1pm today. My lunch today was pretty bad to be honest. 4 oz of canned tuna, 1/2 cup of quinoa, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and a handful of baby carrots. This was a very bland lunch but it worked. I wont evenContinue reading “SNAP Challenge: Day 3 – Lunch”
SNAP Challenge – Day 3: Breakfast
Decided to get pretty crazy and switch up my breakfast today. Went with an old classic bodybuilder-like recipe, oat pancakes. (After my 4 cups of water of course) 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, 3/4 cup oats, 1 T cottage cheese, 1 banana, dash of cinnamon – blend and fry. First things first, you could eat theseContinue reading “SNAP Challenge – Day 3: Breakfast”
SNAP Challenge – Day 2: Final

SNAP Challenge – Day 2: Dinner
Dinner tonight was pretty much just a hodge-podge of whatever I felt like throwing in a pot. I decided to go with 3/4 cup kidney beans, 3/4 cup dry whole wheat pasta, 3/4 cup of the canned stewed tomatoes, 3/4 cup of frozen brocoli (added garlic powder). Pretty easy prep for this meal. Boiled the pasta forContinue reading “SNAP Challenge – Day 2: Dinner”
SNAP Challenge: Day 2 – Snack & Lunch & Pre/Post Workout
My “snack” today was the other half of my banana, which I ate about 1 hour after breakfast on my way out the door. My lunch today was something pretty different, for myself at least. I had one cup of quinoa, 3/4 cup red kidney beans, 1/2 cup spinach (thawed) 1 tsp olive oil, a littleContinue reading “SNAP Challenge: Day 2 – Snack & Lunch & Pre/Post Workout”
SNAP Challenge – Day 2: Breakfast
Morning! I woke up this morning feeling pretty good, but definitely a little hungry. As stated in my last post, I will be upping my intakes a little bit today, to try and get closer to 1800 calories. The last time I did a bodyfat analysis on myself, my BMR (basal metabolic rate, the amountContinue reading “SNAP Challenge – Day 2: Breakfast”
