Day 7: Rest Day (Rotation 2, Day 3)
I have a three day weekend again! These are always nice, especially when they're so rare, and it'll let me get meal prep out of the way. My food spoiled on me yesterday and my fresh chicken in the fridge spoiled too, so I had to rethink my meals a few times. In my defense it was supposed to have a longer shelf life, but I should had frozen it and put it away.
I expected to see an increase today as the last two days were higher carb days. That is the pattern that one would expect from the carb cycling, but there were some variables that might have affected that result. For one, yesterday was a hellish work day, and I did my work out on top of that. For two, went to bed later and slept a whole seven hours, so that probably accounts for that initial loss. I'll write a little note for myself to remember why this data point was so far off course.
I'm going to try to eat less carbs this time around while still keeping my protein to around 170-200g. I'll allow up to 100g of carbs, but I'm going to aim for 50 or lower. I have a little bit of a social activity today that might involve eating, but I'll pick smart choices to keep the carbs and calories restricted as planned.
