When I started this high-protein diet, it rather didn't occur to me that 120 grams of protein is like 500 calories, which is a lot more calories every day. That has to be balanced with less of other foods or increased calorie burn. Fortunately, one of the effects my getting more protein is that I recover faster and have more endurance, so I can increase my burn. I also can cut back on the carbs a little. So far, so good. My quads are up 3/4" in a month, which is nuts and I'm starting to lose the little weight I'd gained. I don't want to gain any weight because that's probably not good for my watts/kg. I want to turn some fat into muscle, tighten that belt a little. I'll just have to see how it goes. Going out to do an hour on the rollers this morning, then go for a run in the afternoon if the rain lets up.
BTW, who runs in the rain and if so, what do you wear?
