Day 92, Nacho Disaster

Tonight as part of my 5 day relaxed diet plan I ate some nachos. The idea behind this week is to get away from using the scale and try to eyeball the correct amounts of carbs, protein, and fiber to get me close to what my training meals called for.

Tonight I totally failed! It was almost funny. If I was to eat only 50 grams of carbs it would have been like 10 chips for two bowls of homemade salsa. I also made the error of eating them while watching Shrek 3, so I wasn't keeping very good track of how much went in my mouth.

So, I totally blew my daily salt and carbs figures, and didn't get near enough protein. But I learned a lot about what not to do, and tomorrow's another day. The cool thing is that now that I'm down to minimum body fat I can burn off mishaps like this within 12-15 hours.

Plus, the whole incident reminded me of this commercial!

So out of curiosity, once you are in PC if you totally lost control and ate really bad for let's say 3 days and didn't exercise how far back would it set you do you think?

It'd probably take another 3 days to get back to where you were, but it wouldn't be a big deal. In fact, your body might have needed that break.
