Diet challenges
I have been at this program for about 6 weeks now & my biggest struggle is my diet.  I have a really hard time eating all of the calories that I need to. I need to be eating 2200 calories on a rest day & 2500 calories on a workout day.  The percentages i am using are 30%fat, 30% protein & 40% carbs.  I have been supplementing with Cytogainer for extra calories and protein which is definitely helping.  I am also using an iPad app to track all my calories and am trying not to be obsessed with it.  The problem is that I have programmed myself in the past to always be cutting calories!  I feel like I am over eating at 2200 calories.  I have to keep reminding myself that if I don't eat as much as I need to then my muscles just aren't going to grow.  I haven't lost any weight, so I am doing good, but I am tired all the time. Though, I might credit that to my 1 yr old.
