PaleoZone Day 1

I've been eating well, about 80% paleo, but with some stupid cheats. As an experiment to see if I can drop a few %s of body fat, I'm going full bore PaleoZone for two weeks or a bit more. I'm interested to see how metabolic conditioning performance is enhanced as well.

I'll be eating 4 or 5 block meals and enjoying 1 block snacks. Target calories = about only 1800.

BREAKFAST - 9am

5P 5C 5F



5P = 5 eggs
5C = 4 cups of raw broccoli, 1 apple, 1.5 cups red pepper
5F = 1tsp olive oil, few pine nuts

Nutritional breakdown:
44g P (32%)
58g C (42%)
34g F (26%)
667 calories

The carbs seem a bit high, but the veg/fruit have a low glycemic index (apple being borderline).

NOTES
The above isn't really accurate because I couldn't finish all of the food. I will reserve the veggies for later on in the day, for an extra snack or part of a meal. I estimate my calories at 550 for this meal.

LUNCH - 1:50pm

5P 5C 5F = goal

5P = 4.5oz bison sirloin
3C = (2.5 blocks remaining veggies) + (2 cups cooked spinach)
4F = 1tsp olive oil

Nutritional breakdown:
52g P (44%)
50g C (42%)
16g F (14%)
118g total
509 calories

NOTES
Slightly confused when comparing the actual macronutrient breakdown of my meal to how I imagined it in blocks. This likely has to do with the fat in the meat, and protein in places other than the meat.
