2 slices of sprouted grain bread
1 multi vitamin
2 Fish Oils
Green Tea

Good


Meal 2:
1 banana
1 cup sugar free apple sauce
2 scoops of whey

Too many carbs from fruit. I would have the banana OR the applesauce and add in some oats instead.

Meal 3:

½ can of tuna
½ cup Oats
1 serving of natural peanut butter

good

Meal 4:

½ can of tuna
2 slices of sprouted grain bread
1 cup of brown rice
1 cucumber

good
Pre Workout:

Meal Replacement Shake

what is in your MRP?

Post Workout

2 scoops of whey
½ cup of pineapple
½ cup of yogurt
½ cup of oat bran

good
Meal 5:

Chicken Breast
1 cup of broccoli
1 cup of whole wheat whole grain pasta

add in some healthy fats

Meal 6:

1 cup Cottage Cheese
1 serving natural peanut or almond butter

Total Calories = 3208
Fats = 83 g / 24%
Carbs = 330 g / 38%
Protein = 289 g / 38%

Not too bad.

I use muscle milk for the MRP. I generally drink in about an hour before the workout. I've tried eating real food before but it makes me feel bloated during my workout.

Overall it's a good plan.

Things to consider in a few weeks.
1. Increase carbs
2. Decrease fats

Thanks. I will replace the apple sauce with 1/2 cup of oats for now. As well add in some healthy fats on meal 5.

Actually maybe some olive oil on the whole wheat pasta...

Just make sure you are getting enough n-3's. Personally I'd suggest dropping one of your PB's and adding in fish oils and add in the olive oil with your pasta. You are getting too much n6 and n9's and disrupting the ratio.

Okay, so add olive oil and fish oil on meal five and drop the peanut butter on meal 3 and add fish oils.

Exactly how many should I be taking though?

Add the olive oil only to meal 5. Drop the PB in meal 3 and add 4 fish caps.
