Legs/Cardio

Went mountain biking today with Maarten D. The goal was to bike up a fire road and then drop down to Braille Trail in Aptos for a technical downhill, but the fire road just kept going and going. We biked around 13 miles uphill before turning around and calling it quits. Using the calculator (estimator) from bicycling.com, we burned between 2000 and 3000 calories.

Diet of the Day:
*My diet was all out of whack and I consumed a lot of processed goods in order to maintain energy levels. By the end of the ride I couldn't pedal since my quads were cramping so much. I drank 2 liters of water on the ride as well. After we got back to the bottom, we went to a local bbq place called Aptos St. BBQ. I got some smoked chicken with a side of beans and potato salad. The meal came with garlic bread. I ate it all since I was so starved of nutrients.

Meal 1:
-4 Aidell's chicken teriyaki meatballs
-5 eggs worth of egg whites + 2 whole eggs
-27g whey protein shake w/ 2% milk
-Raspberries and blueberries

Meal 2:
-6 oz steak
-2 cups brown rice
-2 plums

*Ate a crappy muscle milk protein bar that was purchased at a corner store prior to biking*

Meal 3 (post bike):
-Smoked chicken apprx. 8 oz
-1 cup potato salad
-1 cup beans
-2 pieces of garlic bread
-Cliff Builder's Bar (go mint or go home)

Meal 4:
-8 oz steak
-2 cups brown rice
-3 cups sautéed carrots.

As you can see, I ate a lot of red meat today. I just so happened to have a bunch of leftover steak that needed to be consumed. I generally prefer chicken and fish.
