I will weight train today instead of indoor cycling. I had miscalculated the rest days. I'm at 2 days rest at the moment and the objective is to reduce to 1 day rest at some point. I don't know if it will work though :)
Regarding the Restless Leg thing, I came across something new, which might explain why I'm having this problem. First of all, the magnesium capsules I'm taking say "don't take this with milk" (they don't elaborate). Secondly, assuming this is a magnesium deficiency. I have been checking on cronometer.com for magnesium in my diet and I should be getting plenty from what I'm currently eating. So I started thinking about the possibility of problems in magnesium absorption. I came across a Wikipedia article saying that calcium blocks the absorption of magnesium and that products, such as dairy, which have lots of calcium, may interfere with magnesium absorption. This makes a lot of sense since I drink milk all the time. I even drink it with meals. And so, this would explain my magnesium deficiency. Because before I started taking those capsules, I would drink a cup of milk at almost every single meal :)
edit: Those egg whites definitely have low calories for the amount of protein they get you but they also definitely taste badly lol.
edit: I'm trying to limit whole milk to, at least, dinner and after, so I can absorb the magnesium properly during the first part of day. Let's see if that works. :)
