I don't want to be dieting too long and it's time for the next stage. I post my typical days food all the time and people can see it's very healthy and nothing excessive and low carbs (very low for me) now. Now what I don't post is sometimes (not all meals) when I have chicken or beef I will add a sauce or houmous etc. All the sauces I use are nice ones and calorie dense so by removing/swopping those it's means another drop in calories. I don't use much but with things like nandos garlic mayonnaise or heinz tomato ketchup a small amount is still a decent amount of calories. I will still have some houmous as I want some fats at certain times but any other sauce will be removed or replaced by zero calorie (or close to) sauces. I have some MyProtein's zero sugar (5 calories per serving) BBQ sauce now and it tastes very nice so I will add that for some chicken meals. For the rest of my meals I just will go without any sauces as I don't use them much anyway. All my salads will be dressed with lemon juice and balsamic vinegar.

Stretches.
I said to myself go lighter but I pushed the weight to the max on some movements as I was feeling good and loaded up on preworkout. Probably stupid with my shoulder issue but I am feeling fine and it's been about 6 hours since I trained. The shoulder press I done was in plate loaded machine and it's very heavy. I have pressed 7pps on a cybex shoulder press in the past for over 10 controlled reps but this machine is basically the same weight as a smith machine would be. My first working set was with 3.5pps so I was pleased with that and the drop off set was with 2.5pps. My gym only has db's going up to 40kg so for the chest press I slowed down the reps and used perfect form and done high reps. I done that because I thought to myself I can't be pushing heavy weight in lower rep ranges for every movement today. All machines were with the full weight rack. The lying skull crushers were with 25kg per side.
Whole egg and bacon sandwich on malted bread and raspberries.
Chicken breast with a side salad of lettuce (apollo, romaine lettuce), edamame beans, carrots and blueberries.
5ml synthetine, 40mg avar, 2.5mg cialis and preworkout.
TRAIN (2 scoops of EAA's and 45g HBCD's).
Chicken breast with a side salad of baby green leaf, baby red leaf, baby spinach, wild rocket, pineapple (with cinnamon), figs, blueberries and a French vinaigrette dressing.
Steak with a side salad of carrots, mung bean sprouts, broccoli, red and yellow peppers, red onion, babycorn and water chestnuts.
Steak with chargrilled aubergine, courgette, red and yellow peppers.
The EAA's I am using now are Man Sports Iso EAA's which include 5g glutamine and 2g taurine per serving so at 2 scoops that is 10g and 4g so a nice amount for intra training.
