Thread: Getting Fat on This?

My guess is that, if you place this in the proper forum, you'll get a lot more pertinent responses.

I know. I just barely noticed sorry. I was browsing around and I forgot where I was.

It's quite all right, I just think that you'll get a lot more responses in the proper section because, while many people here know what they're talking about, they're often hazy on the details and recommend posting in the diet and nutrition section anyways.

You are fat at 145 lbs at 5'10"?

Anways, I would suggest eating more "real food" proteins instead of whey 3 times a day. Like squaggleboggin said, check out the d&n forum and you will probably get some excellent respsonses.

5'10".145 lbs. 18y.
[1 scoop whey,1 cup oats, 2 cups 1% milk] 3 times a day.
1 can chicken(300 calories) w/mayonnaise
beef sometimes.
A spoon of peanut butter and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese.
One meal is usually a sandwich, or whatever my mom makes for dinner.
A couple meals include egg whites.

I haven't gained weight or even lost fat. It seems like year ago(before I ever tried eating healthy and doing things properly) when I ate all the crap I wanted, I didn't get fatter, leaner, or bigger either. No change.
The only change I've ever really noticed was when I attempted the anabolic diet. I didn't get any bigger but I did lean out a little bit.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I hate to imagine another year going by without some serious progress.

I've read the stickies. I just picked canned chicken, eggs, and whey shakes because they are definitely most convenient for me. Thanks

Okay, well, I can tell you that if you're gaining weight your eating too many calories.

Now there are several places where I see extra calories in here.

You're drinking 6 cups of low fat milk per day . That alone is 720 calories, a majority of them in the form of sugars. Cut that out. Or limit the milk to 1 or 2 cups a day.

Why are you putting a whole cup of oats in all 3 of your shakes? That's a lot of calories and you don't need them. Cut the oats in half, or use them only post workout.

Do you really need the mayo?

Honestly it's no big mystery why you're gaining weight. Even if you just cut out the milk you'd see better results...

Haha thank you for your advice. I'll do the shake with oats only after a workout then. Can I have three cups of milk a day for my shakes or should I use water? Thanks =D

Try cutting back to 3 cups of milk and if you don't lean out a little, then move on to water.

3 cups of oats is too much how much is that??? around 300 grams of carbs and u r 150 lbs if u add it to 6 cubs of milk thats equal nearly 400 grams of carbs daily just from oats and milk cut the milk as vanessa told ya and decrease the oats......also replace the whey protein with real food the benefit of the real food is that it has thermic effect on the body and will raise ur metabolism u cood pu whey on the post work out meal to be easily absorbed and on another meal when u wake up or in the middle of the day...

I will be throwing veggies in there too at random. I know there isn't much variation, but since I don't live alone and still rely on my parents I don't like asking them for money so often when foods run out.

that's 301 pro/184 carbs/99 fats = 2831 calories

42%protein+25%carbs+31% fats

every thing looks ok ..except one thing ....too many whey powder .....that'll make u add weight for sure .... eat real food and have just 2 servings of whey , u could eat tuna cans and egg whites and other sources of protein mentioned in the stickies......why are u low in carbs ???are u cutting .....u r 145 lbs at 5'10 and u r cutting??

www.fitday.com to have accurate calculations

if u r cutting eat vegetables instead of oats in your last meal and eat oats instead of banana in meal 5 ...cause u already have 2 bananas in meal1 and 2 but u don't hae any vegetables during the day

u also forgot to mention where is your pre and post w/o meals ...when do u workout during the day ??

Thanks for the replies. Between Meals 5 and 6.
