I will weight train today instead of indoor cycling. I had miscalculated the rest days. I'm at 2 days rest at the moment and the objective is to reduce to 1 day rest at some point. I don't know if it will work though :)
Regarding the Restless Leg thing, I came across something new, which might explain why I'm having this problem. First of all, the magnesium capsules I'm taking say "don't take this with milk" (they don't elaborate). Secondly, assuming this is a magnesium deficiency. I have been checking on cronometer.com for magnesium in my diet and I should be getting plenty from what I'm currently eating. So I started thinking about the possibility of problems in magnesium absorption. I came across a Wikipedia article saying that calcium blocks the absorption of magnesium and that products, such as dairy, which have lots of calcium, may interfere with magnesium absorption. This makes a lot of sense since I drink milk all the time. I even drink it with meals. And so, this would explain my magnesium deficiency. Because before I started taking those capsules, I would drink a cup of milk at almost every single meal :)
edit: Those egg whites definitely have low calories for the amount of protein they get you but they also definitely taste badly lol.
edit: I'm trying to limit whole milk to, at least, dinner and after, so I can absorb the magnesium properly during the first part of day. Let's see if that works. :)

Hmm maybe it's better to limit your intake for a while, then? ^^

Unfortunately, that's definitely going to have to happen :P. My plan right now is to, at least, limit my consumption of milk to some parts of day heheh. I can't stop drinking it all together. It's one of my favorite foods lol. The one glass or two before going to bed, that's probably going to keep happening :D

Also if you would have vitamin d deficiency then your body can't absorb calcium very well.

I love milk too but I decided long ago I would rather eat my calories then drink them so now it is just a treat with my favorite meals!

That was a wise choice Iamachristianjesusfreak! One should have have too much of anything. That's another one of the rules I try to follow. With milk it's difficult for me though since, besides tasting great, it's also a good food in some aspects (even for weight training lol). I would hate to have to stop drinking milk altogether though but hopefully that won't have happen :)
