Week 6 - What I Eat3/29/2021 What do I eat?![]() This week I am going to be talking about something different. Along with my progress, I will be talking about two of my main food sources for quick meals throughout the day. I think that these meals are the most important because they are filled with protein and I can eat them quickly throughout the day. This is the chicken and rice packet that I eat a lot. It contains chicken, rice, and mixed vegetables. I love it because I only have to microwave it for 3 minutes. This mini meal has 15 grams of protein. If eat about 4 of these a week, then I will an extra 60 grams of protein a week. If I can continue to eat these with the Alfredo bowls I eat, my protein intake will continue to increase and I should see an increase in strength and weight. ![]() This is the Chicken Alfredo bowl that I eat often. Whenever I am not feeling the chicken and rice packet, I eat this. I love this because I only have to heat it up for 6 minutes before it is ready. This meal has 23 grams of protein, which is really good for a snack in between meals. I eat this every day that I am at school, and eat it about three times a week when I am at home. What workouts did I do this week?This week, I was able to workout two times which is more than usual because of my baseball schedule. On Friday I did a chest workout. I did 4 sets of 12 reps of dumbbell bench press, 3 sets of 12 close presses, 3 sets of 10 static presses, 3 sets of 10 dumbbell flies, and then 3 sets of 10 pushups. This killed my chest. On Saturday, I did another upper body workout but this time I did more of an arm and back workout. I did lat pull-downs, tricep curls, bicep curls, and shoulder presses. Weekly ResultsThis week, I weighed in at 140 pounds. This is improvement based on past weeks. I feel like I am getting stronger from working out, I just know that my challenge is on the eating side. I need to continue to increase my protein intake each week so I can continue to gain weight. I am happy with where I am in the process, I just have to finish these next 6 weeks off stronger than the first 6 weeks.
