Was feeling frustrated after meeting with my trainer yesterday. He keeps telling me I'm getting too many carbs, too much fat, not enough protein. But I'm only eating whole foods, and it takes tons of whole foods to equal any calories, to the point that even a tablespoon of olive oil can throw off my whole day.
My girlfriend said she is concerned that perhaps I'm trying too hard or becoming obsessive. I'm looking to make a permanent life change so I don't want to go overboard. Trying to find a balance.
So this morning, I added some oatmeal and ate 2 cups of frozen spinach with my eggs. In the past, I've been eating 1/4 cup oatmeal per morning. Now I've upped it to 1/2 cup, which is hard to eat with the 4 eggs and 2 cups of spinach (a lot of food), but has definitely helped with my energy and got my breakfast calorie total up to 539.
Because I'm trying to put on muscle, I need to keep focused on getting enough calories. I like to workout hard, so will need the nutrition to keep me chugging. Have meeting with trainer again today, hoping I get my ass kicked as hard as yesterday. Got a great workout and although my lower back was somewhat sore, didn't need ibuprofen and think the soreness is probably muscle-related (I hope).
