I used the following to make 2 muffins and ate one. Each came to 200 kcal. It was VERY good, although I overcooked them a bit and dried them out. Also, I should have made 4 muffins instead as these rose really high. Next time I'm going to double it and make 8 muffins.

Strength
Leg strength is still down. I think they're just burned out and need some off time. No rest for the weary though, 3.5 weeks left to the end of the BFL contest. Calves keep blasting ahead. I've maxed the standing calf machine and added 5 weights so it's time to move on to something else. I'll decide what machine I'm moving to on Thursday.
Stamina / Endurance
Normal high levels of stamina.
Energy / Focus
Normal high energy and focus.
Pumps / Vascularity
Surprisingly my upper body is still feeling full and hard despite low carbs. TKD seems to be working in that regard.
Recovery
Great recovery from yesterday. My upper body isn't sore at all.
Other Observations / Comments
Weight is back down, 2 lbs lost in 2 days.
I've been thinking about BJ's comment on carbing up (on bb.com log). If my current level of muscle fullness and energy continue I probably won't need to carb up. I'll still increase my calories to around 3000 on Saturday but it will be mostly from fat and protein. I'll still keep carbs in the 10-15% range which will allow me to consume a bit more, mostly from complex sources and vegetables.
