Breakfast:
piece of fruit (usually Asian pear, or banana)
Muscle Milk
Where are your carbs?
Lunch:
Pepper+tomato+mixed greens salad
sizable piece of roasted chicken/turkey breast

5 O'clock Meal:
Chicken Salad+Mixed greens

Pre-workout meal:
piece of fruit (banana, apple or pear)
protein?????
Post-workout:
Muscle Milk
Fast digesting carbs????
Before bed
-assorted raw veggies (baby carrots, tomatos, broccoli)
-large piece of roasted lean chicken/turkey/beef


By my calculations, I'm at about 2600-2700 calroies, about 130-140g carbs, and about 170 grams of protein. Is this decent?

my thoughts

No protein in the pre-workout meal?

Just wondering where all of your carbs are coming from also. I count 2 pieces of fruit + the small amount of tomato in your salad. I don't know the content of muscle milk carb wise, but that's close to 100g of carbs supposedly from your shakes, which seems incredibly high. Need more solid complex carbs (oats, sweet potato, etc.)

If you could post more exact portions and macros, that would help out quite a bit. As it is I personally have a hard time seeing 2700 calories coming out of that, as I eat more than that and I'm only around 1800 calories.

I checked before I posted and Muscle Milk has something like 12g of carbs a serving, so still its not enough, oats, /oatbix, even cornflakes with milk.
