Protein day...

Since I did a chest workout yesterday (intense) I knew I needed to up the protein today to repair my sore muscles.
Yesterday's workout:
2 sets of 20 reps increasing weights
straight bench chest presses
super set with flys ( 2 rounds)
Pyramid of decline presses (these were killers)
Starting with 10lbs/20 reps
12.5lbs 15 reps
15lbs 10 reps
17.5lbs 5 reps

Today's breakfast was clean and simple. Carbs and protein of course.
Breakfast: 2 egg whites 1 whole egg (new research on egg yolk benefits here )
 and blueberry oatmeal. I made my own with Quaker oats and fresh blueberries.

Snack: EAS low carb protein bar
Uploaded from the Photobucket iPad App
Lunch: green salad and croutons (carbo load) and a nap!
Snack: EAS low carb protein shake
Dinner: Baked orange chicken thighs (recipe here) and "fried" (more like sauteed) cabbage. I sprinkled a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes for a little spice. Hubby LOVED the chicken and it was so easy to make!!!

I will be having a 1/2c cottage cheese drizzed with 1tbsp honey for dessert about 30 minutes before bed and 2 cups of water too!
NOTE: I do NOT drink anything aside from water all day, so if you don't see a reference to drinks, it means I just drank water. :)
