*14* Day 11

BURN DAY

Today is the first day of the Max Phase.  We're excited to have a little more flexibility in our food choice, but for the most part, we're planning on just sticking to what we've been doing because obviously we're getting good results. 

Breakfast

We started with the Max+ packets in the morning and grabbed a MRS to have once we got to work 30min later. 

Mid Morning Snack

Raw almonds and cashews. 

Lunch

A left over Buffalo Turkey burger from a few days ago in a lettuce "bun" with dijon mustard and hard-boiled egg whites.  

It was very yummy!

Mid-Afternoon Snack

Celery and natural peanut butter

Dinner

Pork Chops. It was originally a Pork Chop and Apple recipe, but since we can't have fruit for dinner at all during the Max Phase and only during breakfast/lunch on refuel days, I took the apples out and used free range, low sodium chicken broth in place of the apple juice.  I also found an awesome recipe for cauliflower "rice" that I tried out with great success.  I modified it a little bit to make it fried rice and it honestly tasted like the real deal without any of the bad stuff! Top it off with some broccoli and we had ourselves a very veggie-ful dinner!

Evening Snack

Some baby carrots and a small handful of raw cashews. 

Water Intake

I think I was just shy of 100oz. 

How I felt

I felt fine during the day, but a bit dizzy and light-headed in the evening.  I'm not sure what the cause is (sleep deprivation maybe??).  Anywho, I'm hoping that this feeling doesn't last much longer…
