Hey Yan,

what is the difference if you eat your "last bite" at 1859 or 1901? I think your new routine is just one more way to control your eating which you seems to do a lot already. It almost look like that you do everything you can to control and limit your eating. Also, i would like to point out that in order to eat healthy there is no need to weight everything you eat. That amount of control and rules for eating is not healthy for anyone. More likely it can be a sympton of some kind of eating disorder.

Hey Yan,

Hey visitor, thank you very much for checking up on me. The difference is when you allow yourself one minute, it turns into two, and then Into five, and soon you find yourself going to sleep at 5 in the morning continuously.
I need very strict boundaries, especially when the limits are self-imposed. Which I know I'm not allowed to pass, otherwise the just five more minute mindset, and the procrastinating side of myself takes over. 

Stopping to eat 4 hours before sleep is key also, because my meals are generally big, and it is enough time to let my food digest before sleep.

It might not be necessary to weight everything I eat, but this way I know that I'm hitting my goals. As a vegan who does a more than average amount of workout it is difficult to hit all of them otherwise.
You say it is not healthy for anyone, but as far as I'm aware my blood tests are quite good, as it concerns my eating, maybe a part for B12, but I've got my finger on the pulse on that.

When you say it is not necessary to weight food you mean that If I eat whole foods like an apple I can just eat one piece? In this case sometimes I do just write it's 1 piece, but even then I prefer to weight it to know how big it is and how it affects my satiety.

When I know what I ate the same day it is also easier to find the cause for any odd health feelings(E.G. headaches) during the day by excluding the fact that it may be coming from food.

How could you know that you're hitting all your macronutrients, micronutrients, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, calories otherwise?
I'm not saying that what you're saying is not correct. I'm just presenting my thoughts on the subject. You're more than welcome to present all the contra arguments that you have, I'd love to understand your perspective in relation to all the statements above, and indeed learn something.

3 things I did right today, no matter how small.
- Continuing the change of workout routine from tuesday and thursday to sunday and tuesday, so that I could have a conversation with a "mentor" of mine ( meaning just that i completed it on sunday instead of tuesday )
- reading 5 pages of the book. An activity that I often procrastinate on and don't complete daily.
1 Thing I could do better:
- Wake up earlier. I Woke up at almost 09 00 instead of the usual 07 00, as a result of which I only completed 2 pomodoros (The deadline of my worktime on pomodoros is 18 00).

I like the way you are approaching things, especially the clear boundaries? Whats your height, weight? What kind of sport are you doing and how long are your daily sessions? I saw you want to eat 3 times a day, but that seems to be difficult for you. Where do you see the problem in eating 1 big meal? Sometimes it seems like you are on a diet to lose weight but sometimes it sounds like you have problems eating :D.

3 Things i did right yesterday, no matter how small.

-despite finishing to eat only 1 hour pre-workout, following the planned schedule and soing it anyway, despite having thoughts of doing deliveries instead because of it

-Being quite effective at the store, despite the fact that it's the first time there ( It took 2 hrs, but I guess it's okay because I had to figure out where all things are located

1 Thing I could do better

-Cut the meal short when the designated time for it in the planned daily schedule ended

Sometimes it seems like you are on a diet to lose weight but sometimes it sounds like you have problems eating :D. 

My height is 174cm

My weight was 55.5 kg (underweight) at 11th October 2022 ( Gotta check again )

I do twice a week a combined resistance workout which lasts 5 hours.

Once a week it's Chest and legs, and the other abs and back.

The other five days I do deliveries on my regular bike. 3 days for 3-4 hours and at the two weekend days 6-7 hrs.

I eat aprox 4500 daily cals, and I have planned to consume them in 3 meals because otherwise I just find myself dozing off, and a feeling of super fullness, It doesn't seem to be healthy at all... Moreover I find it difficult to fit a 5 hour workout and still eat the meals far enough apart. ( When you eat them in spaces of 2 hrs it's still making me feel super full) 

When I do the biking I just have no break between the biking and the meal.

But it's also not the best health practice.

 

Ideally for health it's best to have a 3 hrs space between end of meal and beginning of workout or something of a sort, but then to have three meals, I have to separate the workouts into two or three times, but then just warming up and organizing for eat will eat away the rest of the day...

If you have any questions left let me know 🙂 Thanks again so very super much for your interest!!

What made you choose a vegan diet? I know that milk products can be an issue but Its very hard to stay healthy without healthy meat.

So far I am managing quite well according to my blood tests, I eat the same meals everyday ( It is all detailed here in the diary logs, the latest post about it is still relevant and up to date).

Those meals were planned with the help of a program called cronometer ehere i enter the grams of the foods i eat and it shows how much vitamins, minerals, macronutrients, micronutrients Im getting because of it.

Also, taking the six major deficiencies that are common in vegans which i read about on vegfaqs.com

The only vitamin I'm getting superficially is B12 ( Partly ) As a part of nutritional yeast and soymilk. I've written about it here earlier with images.

But I am thinking for quite some time to replace it with chlorella which is an amazing 100 % natural active b12 source.

I believe it's just propaganda that meat is healthy, and the main reason that I'm on a vegan diet is for health.

Saving animals and helping the environment is just a bonus, but I wouldn't care much about it if I would think I'm harming my health
