Salmon.  Yes, last night I finally had something other than protein sloppy joes for dinner.  I decided to mix it up a little and change my protein source for the night.  So on my way home from work I stopped at a local fish market to pick up some wild salmon.  Wild salmon is full of good stuff for you especially Omega- 3 fatty acid.  There have been many studies showing a diet that includes Omega-3 fatty acids will burn more calories as well as help lower insulin levels by almost 50% vs diets without Omega-3 fatty acids.  Insulin is a hormone in your body that reduces the use of fat for fuel, while also promoting the storage of fat.  As part of my daily supplements I take a dosage of Omega-3 from one of two sources depending on availability.  If possible I take Flameout by Biotest, however since the only place to get Flameout is from the Biotest online store and sometimes they run out I also supplement that with GNC’s Triple Strength Fish Oil. 

Next week I will do a blog entry about all the supplements that I normally take on a daily basis as well as others that I take on occasion when I want a little boost or if I’m working out a lot and want to maximize my effort. 

Until then here is my list of food that I ate yesterday.

• 7:30 am – MWLC Protein Shake
• 9:30 am – MWLC Protein Oatmeal
• 12:00 pm – MWLC Protein Shake
• 3:00 pm – MWLC Protein Shake
• 5:00 pm – MWLC Protein Bar
• 7:00 pm – .5lbs Salmon with a side of mushrooms (I ran out of broccoli)
• 9:00 pm – few pieces of beef jerky

This weekend I am going to try very hard not to eat out as this I believe is somewhat slowing down my progression towards my goal of 225lbs my mid June.
