F*cking Red Robin

I finish my workout, head straight home to pick up Chelan so we can grab a quick bite at red robin. Believe it or not they have an awesome tex mex salad there which is why we went. I am absolutely starving post workout and we sit down and the b*tch waitress forget to submit one of our orders. It takes 40min to get my food and I'm surrounded by burgers and fries and the biggest godamn pieces of cake I have ever seen. Normally I would get up and leave but I knew if I did that I was going to go get bad food so we toughed it out. They ended up giving us our food for free which was nice.

Workout:
Snatch, 95,95,135,135,135,135
Then I did the 5 o'clock class with Sheppy
Warmup: 8 rounds of 5 L sits and on the 5th L sit you have to hold it till the 30 seconds is up. The clock starts at the beggining of your first L sit. 15 sec break between rounds. My abs were completely at failure. They were still sore from the ghd work I did on Sat. Awesome workout.
Push Press: work up to max, 6 sets, got 215#, failed on 225#...I will get that next time for sure.
Workout: Popeye vs Brutus. Go against a partner. One runs 400m while the other rows. total meters rowed wins. I lost this battle but it was a killer workout. My poor rowing has to improve. there is no reason why I am not a stronger rower. I need to work on this.

B:Protein drink, apple
L: Chicken Caesar salad, trail mix small
L: elevate bar, trail mix, deli turkey 2 oz
S: banana, trail mix
D: tex mex salad, got it with no tortilla chips and double the chicken
S: elevate bar, 8 peanuts, 2 oz breakfast sausage

Probably ate a little too much today but still didn't cheat.

How are you working our your protein, calorie, fat, etc. intake?

Did you work out your requirements or going by estimation?

What up Butler. Right now I am going by estimation but I have done long stretches of measuring my food before. I am eating approx 23 blocks of protein a day and probably 20 blocks of fat. The carbs I don't measure and I try to eat as much as I can of any veggie I can and keep the fruit to a reasonable level.

Ideally if you can eat enough green to have a paleo zone diet you should go that route. For me I wanted to try a diet that didn't include startch and having extra protein and fats is the only way I can achieve that. I don't take calories into the equation at all. For me the enemy is the bad carbs not calories.
So far I really like the results. I am also putting a high priority on an increase in strength so having more protein in the diet is probably a good idea. I started this diet on June 30th and I've gone from 195 to 188 which is a nice consistant weight loss.
Once I reach my target weight/strength ratio than I might look at adding in some more carbs and see if my energy output increases.

LOL, I love the Title of this one! That Cake was the biggest thing I've ever seen in my life!!! It would take a couple "Fran" workouts to work off that one, good thing we didn't cheat!
