KiwiChick Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 This is Kiwi reporting for duty - Im a New Zealand Girl, but travel a lot for work and adventure. Im a Scout and am currently undertaking my third NF challenge. As part of this challenge Im tracking what I eat everyday - also running in my trusty vibrams, planking like a boss and attempting to not procrastinate so much! So here I am - I have no intention of tracking calories etc this is just for observation at this stage to I can make small tweaks and learn what I can improve on.

wilfnelson Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 A suggestion for your diets is to find out what body type you are. The standard ones are ectomorph, endomorph, mesomoprh, xenomorph and necromorph. Ok so just the first three. Ectomorphs are tall, long limbs, slopped shoulders and flat chests; don't worry about diet your body will take care of itselfMesomoprh, muscular, strong, good posture. Eat well enough but really exercise is the keeps here as your body will oack on the muscle when needed and the fat when not Quote [*]Level 2 High elf - Ranger (56.7 kilos, approximately 13% body fat)[*]strength 4, dexterity 3, stamina 6, constitution 6, wisdom 5, charisma 2.[*]Challenge - run 5K straight, do 3 day exercise with weighted backpack, reach rep goal for 6 weeks, revise enough for exams; maintain code of bushido[*]"Go into battle determined to die, and you will surely live. Go into battle hoping to live, and you will surely die" Link to comment
wilfnelson Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Oops pressed the wrong buttonAs for endomorph, you are probably going to be fat with very little muscle but enough to get around and maybe do some stuff at the gym.Once you know you can plan your meals better. Like I said ectomorphs just don't put on weight until they are about 35 half because of a strong metabolism and half because their bodies do not take in the fats, mesomorph just exercise and endomorph consider heavy exercise and paleo diet Quote [*]Level 2 High elf - Ranger (56.7 kilos, approximately 13% body fat)[*]strength 4, dexterity 3, stamina 6, constitution 6, wisdom 5, charisma 2.[*]Challenge - run 5K straight, do 3 day exercise with weighted backpack, reach rep goal for 6 weeks, revise enough for exams; maintain code of bushido[*]"Go into battle determined to die, and you will surely live.

rogaecia Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 @wilfnelson, how would I find out what body type I have? Quote Current Challenge Link to comment
KiwiChick Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I def think Im a Mesomoprh - Im medium build and neither chubby nor thin. I find as long as I dont over indulge in sugar Im ok. I can put on some muscle but no matter how hard I try I cant get bigger muscles (I mean Im a girl so that was never really going to happen anyway). But I am not someone who can eat what they want - done that and I just put on fat.

KiwiChick Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ok catch up time MondayExercise: stonglifts – squats, bench press and barbell rows. Abs and roll out. I really don’t like bench press and barbell rows, yuck yuck yuck.Food:Pregym protein shake with almond milkPost gym protein shakeDon’t remember what I ate during the day – one day unlogged.½ box scorched almonds – deliberate food binge – was sad, went to shop and got chocolate.

Will prob go back to normal deadlifts for next 3 sessions and try for another 100kg max in 2 weeks.
