Total Time = 45 minutes 


Good session tonight. Followed it up with a brisk 45 minute walk.


Then I ate my 2 dinners and went to bed.


Dinner 1: oatmeal, peanut butter, honey, milk, and whet protein 


Dinner 2: turkey burger, Chick-fil-A sauce, provolone, on sourdough bread with a mandarin orange on the side


As a full time personal trainer, I usually don't get a lot of food in my system during the bulk of the day. Usually it's just 4 yogurts, maybe some fruit, and a protein shake. 


When considering that my total daily energy expenditure is around 3,200 calories per day, that leaves me front loading calories very early in the morning and then consuming a couple thousand calories in the late afternoon and evening (particular during the bulking phases).


Honestly, I enjoy feasting in the evenings, especially when I'm lifting around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.


Happy Tuesday, friends.
