Just did a few quick searches and couldn't quite find the answers I'm looking for, so I'm putting a few questions out there to the 10P family:
I am three weeks in to eating primal/paleo. No sugars, no grains, just eating mostly just eating fresh vegetables, healthy fats, and animal meats, with the occasional sweet potato tossed in the mix two or three times a week.
On days that I train I hit around 80-100g from canned fruits about an hour before starting to train and can go pretty strong for about 1.5 to 2 hours on that. I get to train jiu-jitsu/mma 3-4nights a week, and can make a light(1 hour, mostly just drilling technique with maybe some flow rolling) class once or twice a week on top of that if the stars align properly. I do bodywieght exercises(mostly pullups, pushups, with the occasional KB routine) on days that I can't make it to a class. For cardio, 1-2 times per week jogging about 6 miles, and one day of hill sprints (30 seconds x 15 sprints, with one minute rest). I get about 7 1/2 to 8 hours rest most nights.
Like all good little jiu jitsu competitors, I want to be as lean as possible, and I feel I've found a pretty good routine, (energy levels feel good, never feeling too hungry, have dropped about 10 lbs so far) but just had a few questions I wanted to get some feedback with.
1) How many grams of total protein per pound of lean body weight do you guys try for per day? I've read anywhere from 0.5 to 1g per 1lb. What do you guys like?
2) Do you like to split up dialy protein intake in regards to pre/post workout or do you feel it makes much of a difference? I usually have whey isolate available post workout, but am wondering if I should cut back on the full scoop for 30g protein I usually take.
3)How do you guys handle taking in an adequate amount of calories to prevent your bodies from going into 'stravation' mode? About once a week I'll still eat a bunch of (non-grain) carbs to the tune of 250g-300g, but should I just spread those out throughout the week? Or should I focus on adding in a few more vegetables and healthy fats every day? Or am I overthinking this (and everything else in this post?)
4) How do you guys feel about body fat weight scales? I figure regardless of how truly accurate it is, one could at least give a look at trends for total weight loss vs. fat/lean mass loss. What are your alls opinions?
Thanks 10P!
