Weekly weigh in - Friday 19 August 2016

Average Weight - 165.2lbs / 74.93kgs - down 1.4lbs / 0.64kg

Average nett (after cardio) daily calorie intake - 2166 = last weeks body weight x 13.00 / Gross (before cardio) - 2166 = x 13.00

Average daily macros (c/p/f are from food only)

carbs @ 11.6% (63g)
protein @ 29.9% (162g)
fats @ 52.2% (126g)
alcohol @ 6.3%

Average Weight is calculated as follows

Average over the last 7 days
Average excluding highest and lowest
Average excluding the two highest and two lowest
Average over last 5 days (Mon - Fri)
Average over last 4 days (Tue - Fri)
Average over last 3 days (Wed - Fri)

Final figure is the average of the above averages (a faff I know but its easy in a spreadsheet lol)

Not sure why you would include the short-range averages, they skew your data by doubling the impact of single outliers.

How would you do it or wouldn't you bother as at the end of the day it doesn't really matter in the short term it's the trend over time that really matters

Note - Yesterday my back and chest felt perfectly fine on my rest day and on waking again no issues, however during training both areas started to feel uncomfortable so will either abort this cycle but more likely I will reduce loads significantly and treat the next week or so as a deload.
 
I know I should but my issue is I can never take a complete break as things tend to fall apart food wise when I do not train hence why I rarely take a proper SD and usually deload :(

Break whilst maintaining low intensity walking/cycling.

You aren't burning muscle in two weeks.
