I Felt Like Crap Today....

I am still getting over the cold that has been hanging over me for about the past week now. I do feel better though than I have. I went ahead and did a full workout. On top of that, I actually ate really, really clean today. That is not to say I am cheating everyday or anything, however usually I will add a tablespoon of peanut butter to my food for the day, or lately I have been eating turkey leftovers. Although turkey is low in fat, it has more than the chicken and fish I had been eating, and the peanut butter, well, we all know it is high in fat. Although the amount I was eating was only packing on a couple hundred extra calories for the day, it does make a difference. So, today, I decided I needed to clean it up and I did it, I ate totally clean all day. By the time I had meal 3 out of 5, I was still starving! Only an hour after the meal and I thought I was going to go crazy! As it was, I was on the verge of passing out, which I eventually gave in to and took a nap on the couch. I try to eat my meals every 3 hours, that nap put me at 4 hours from my last meal, but I needed to do it because I just wasn't able to stay conscience otherwise! I really think I ought to bump up my calories here soon, but it is so tempting to keep them low and watch the fat fly off my body. As it is, with the workouts I am doing and the ratio of carbs to protein, I am still managing to add a tiny bit of muscle, even though I am on a low calorie intake. I suspect though, it is my bodies desire to add muscle that has me SO ZAPPED of energy!
