Reverse Diet 2 - Week 9: High Calorie PR!

8/19/2015

8 Comments

 
Woohoo! Today I reached my highest caloric intake ever, at least since I've been tracking calories/macros for the past two years! Definitely going to celebrate with some froyo. ;) 1600 is where I stopped my reverse diet last year but don't you worry, imma keep going this year. In two months, I've only gained one pound and increased by almost 500 calories. Heck yes! Don't tell me reverse dieting doesn't work. :P
This past weekend I went to Chicago for a mini-vaycay with my family. We went out to eat a lot, drank some wine, ate some Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza (my favorite EVER)... and because I tracked my macros, I didn't gain any weight. I freaking love IIFYM. I did the same last year and wrote a blog post about how to stay on track during vacations which you can find here if you're interested. Another AMAZING tip -- get THIS portable food scale. Its so small and inconspicuous.. and only $30 on amazon! Ah-mazing.

In other news, I'm still recovering from my injury but I'd say it's about 75% better now. Hopefully I can get back to where I was soon! Fingers crossed. :)

And an update on the IIFYM Chain Restaurant Master List -- still working on it. Some restaurants have sucky menus where they don't list all the information (like just saturated fat and sugar.. wtf?) so I'm trying to figure those out. But it is coming soon, I promise! And it will be freaking EPIC. It's a long list yo.

Hope you all are having an awesome, macro-filled week! :P

Whoa!!!! You eat more than me! Jealous! Looks like I should start reverse dieting since my weight loss progress has stalled for a few weeks! :D

Haha! Yes reverse dieting rocks! But a weightless plate is totally normal when cutting.. you'll hit a wall at some point, just change things up a bit if you are wanting to lose more. For instance add more cardio in (unless you're already doing a ton..) or lower calories more. But if you're fine with where you're at, then I definitely suggest reverse dieting back up!
