Thread: arhghghg - I can't do a split (either one)

well for one, switching to tuna packed in water will help you lower your fats..then you can add some fat back in if its needed, as well as carbs and protein

hmm ok

I will buy tuna in water next week

Brown rice might get you to 40 for your carbs. What about protein powder. I would get sick of tuna 3 times a day. Plus your carbs is coming from only bread and oats. Apples, grapefruit, berries. What about your fiberous greens.

how about dropping a couple egg yolks at breakfast and adding more more egg whites?
Id drop that bread and get in some brown rice or sweet taters and fruit. MUCH better for you.
as Greek said drop the oil packed tuna, and then add in some EFA's and green veggies!

Playing around with teh fitday program (I purchased the desktop version) it is telling me:

Hard boiled egg: 233cal , 16F, 2C, 19P

Egg white cooked:16cal, 0F, 0C, 3P


It seems like an awful loss of protein and overall calories...... is this right?


What are some examples of EFA's? I am unsure.

also what is good protein powder... is it expensive? How much woudl it cost me per week

protein powder is very cheap. for 30 bucks i get a 6 pound bucket at gnc, which is 94 servings of 30g protein each. and gnc is expensive!

I just bought 10LB of alltheywhey vanilla isolate. Cost me $76.45 shipped usps priority 2/3 day mail.



it comes out to ~ $.48 per serving...

What kind of eggs are you eating, ostrich eggs??

1 egg = 6.5P, 5F

I dunno, that's what fitday says.... I guess the program is wrong



this could very well be the reason I am so COMPLETELY and utterly confused between putting foods into it to test, then coming back and reading things on the boards...

Ok, here is my updated plan so far:

~2700 cal.

Meal 1:
1 cup skim milk
1 banana
28.5g alltheway isolate
2 tbsp peanut butter

Meal 2:
1 cup of mini pretzels
1 apple
2 hard boiled eggs

Meal 3:
1 can water packed tuna
1 orange
1 cups cooked oatmeal

Meal 4:
8oz chicken
3 cups broccoli ( or substitute other greens)
1 cup long grain brown rice cooked
1 cup skim milk
28.5g alltheway isolate

by the way, I really appreciate all the help so far

I personally think you need more veggies in there. Broccoli is good, but green leafy veggies are king (in my book, anyway).

I know alot of folks like corn, but it's not a veggie - it's a grain.

I'd add some veggies to each meal. (Maybe not breakfast, but all the others.)

I could drop the oatmeal split the rice in 1/2 then add more veggies


I am on a college student budget, so I am trying to be as economical as possible while still getting a great nutritional balance

also, I have no clue on fiber intake

I have been reading up on psyllium but I don't want to take that supp... how am I looking, fiber wise?

I still dont see any good EFA's.. or veggies.
not enough protein in meal 2.
