Better suggestion for you ...Aweseom to hear Andrew! Better suggestion for you on your protein (just to nit pick), sub some Almond Butter for your Peanut Butter... I'm waiting to see if Leeny would chime in, but its a legume, and the Almonds have a lot more good fat for you. Other than that, keep it up man! You'll go far.Froshinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117741641196433904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294949058135121413.post-28124689539095674552011-02-23T10:32:43.631-06:002011-02-23T10:32:43.631-06:00Hey Frosh! So I have been going paleo for about 3 ...Hey Frosh! So I have been going paleo for about 3 weeeks now. It hasn't been 100% paleo though because I have had to alter my diet for my current needs. For example, it is track season now and as all track athletes know, there is no substitution for the quick energy from pasta that you need in a race. However with that being the sole exception all the rest is paleo. I have noticed a dramatic improvement in energy and mental focus too. It was tough to start out, but once the paleo realm has been opened up, you start to make your own recipes and you really find out how delicious the paleo lifestyle can be. The parts that still prove to be difficult are making sure I am getting enough protein (approx. 220 grams) and enough calories (approx. 3,200). Its not that I can't find it in the food, its the fact that all the fruits and vegetables and protein fill me up so fast that I get full in fewer calories. This could be a huge up side for those trying to lose weight but for my lifestyle it just isn't and option. To fix the problems I have added in a lean protein powder that is 100 whey protein, no other junk in it and throw lots of peanut butter in my lunches and snacks because its the easiest way to pack on calories. Thanks for the great info on the topic Frosh. You have really enabled and inspired me to become the best athlete that I canAndrew.Dunaventhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02448352974559802257noreply@blogger.com
