inaccurate body fat percentage from body composition scale: 8.8 % (went up)
inaccurate waist measurement over navel: 81.5 cm
edit: Today it looks like I had no breakfast but, in truth, I ate my lunch at breakfast time so it's possible that I'm still switching the meal order in the log :)
edit: Right now I feel tremendously energetic. I think that's because I just ate 3 plums in a row. I haven't ate them in some time and I really missed the taste :) But, anyway, I feel like I could lift off right now, such is the energy I have. That's probably somewhat of a sugar-high :).
edit: Today I definitely went overboard with the calories but I think that the peanuts should have been weighed without the shells. I already took some of the original weight off but the shells probably weighed even more heheh.
edit: I'm very sleepy so I'm going to head off to bed and I can't wait to see how I'll perform on the pushups tomorrow lol. Today I did better than yesterday but the same as usual (19 reps). Yesterday I was extremely weak and I don't understand why but I have to get to the bottom of that issue because that has happened before. Anyhow, I aim to achieve the best technique to more quickly advance in this specific exercise, just as a test. The information I gain from this may be useful to apply to all the other exercises later. See ya'll tomorrow! :)

So what did you do with all that energy?
|
Ahah, good question! :) I ended up starting a test with weight training :). I did several tests with push-ups. I definitely got better results than yesterday which begs the question. Was it a muscle recovery problem or was it more of a central nervous system recovery or just pure lack of calories or sleep :P. But what I'm really testing is whether doing very regular pushups (like several times a day and several days a week) will get me better results than just doing them like twice a week (the same as the other "free weight" exercises). :) This is the perfect time to do this because I'm in the process of changing my training program :)

Do u eat more calories on weight training days or just different things like more protein?

Oops, I missed your comment yesterday Ninaj, I clicked the notification to answer Deb and didn't even read the comments in the page :). No Ninaj, I always try to eat the same number of protein every day because it's during the recovery that the muscle building (protein synthesis) occurs. The calories though are a little according to how hungry I feel. I always try to eat equal or less calories than 1650, which is my auto-calculated RDI (though it has been difficult to stick to that number since I started weight training heheh), while trying to maintain the proteins at 100 g (more or less)

From what I know so far, you can build muscle and lose fat as long as you have your ideal number of proteins every single day and find a number of calories which allows you to lose fat while still retaining some energy for exercising :) But it's easier said than done.
