Meal Prep, Week 10.

Can't remember if I did a post about this last week or not, but we're still doing meal prepping here at the homestead. This week isn't very exciting (probably because I did it all by myself) but we did go to Costco (we have one in our area of Australia) and pick up like five kilograms of AMERICAN BACON.

People who don't live down here probably don't understand the difference, but let's put it this way - American (streaky) bacon is delicious. Australian (middle pork rasher) bacon is not as delicious. It's that simple.

Menu

• Breakfast : Bacon & 2 Boiled Eggs.
• Lunch: Broiled Chicken Thighs + Vegetables.
• Dinner: Pork Rissole + Vegetables.

I did great last week not eating out, I'm going to do just as well this week. I need to "conserve my calories" to sort of speak since I know there will be a few events coming up in December.

Also, on that note, since my time off of work is increasing (contract ended), I will be increasing my workout schedule as well. I'm planning on sticking to the StrongLifts 5x5, but I'm going to drop the back off sets and instead do 2x a day at the gym, once in the morning and once in the evening. The only trick will be that I will do the same weight both sessions, only increasing it on the next scheduled day. 

I don't think this is something I could sustain, but every thing I've read insists that for short term gains, you can train twice a day so long as you make sure each session is relatively short (under an hour) and StrongLifts is basically perfect for that.

Anyway, because of this, I may be increasing my calorie consumption on workout days slightly. I'm going to want to eat protien after those workouts after all.
