First Day Down
Well I am doing Starting Strength and trying to pack in the calories. I will be doing 3 workouts a week to start with heavy weights and not metcon. I do play the occasional game of soccer or bike ride but nothing too strenuous. I also plan on tracking my progress in the exercise log forum.
My goal for calories is approx. 5000 a day when I work out and 4-5000 on the other days. Target protein is 350g (2 x bw), fat is 300g and carb is 225g. I would appreciate any comments on the percentages/quantities I am using as well as the quality of food I am consuming
