You desperately need to read the stickies and go from there. The food choices are terrible. Just read the stickies over 2 or 3 times and download the shopping list that Jodi put toether and you will see the light like you couldn't even imagine.

After almost 2 weeks... I am back and better than ever.

Dayayarea - Nobody's answering because we're all jeolous we're not 16 too .

Seriously, I consider myself a newby here too and not near as knowledgeable as most of the others.. but I do have some comments for you (someone please correct me if I'm wrong)..

I think you need to make all of your meals look a bit more like your 7:30pm meal - except NO M&M's!! Dude that had me giggling a little. Also, "trailmix" does not make a meal, I think it's only carbs and you need some protein and a little fat in every meal. Anything would be better than that "school burger" you're eating too. These are just the real obvious things to change.

crazy_enough

as if man, its not perfect, but it could be much much worst...

Ure bases are good dayayarea, ure eating the right foods(again, not perfect, but he's 16 ) but not nearly enough of it

Morning:7:30
1 whole egg,8 egg whites
1/2 cup dry oats + apple or grapes
water,multivitamin

school:9:30 ish
if ure gonna have that sandwich, this is when Id have it...
Whole Wheat Bread (ww is crap... seriously. refined flour and fillers...Sprouted grain bread is not only healthier, it kicks ass tastewise!)
Lettuce
Mustard
Some Type of Deli Meat (this is aweful ... HOWEVER at least have lean turkey, chicken or roastbeef),Sometimes chicken breast from the night before
1/2 cup ff or 1% Cottage cheese


School:12:30
screw that school caf. shit...
1 can of tuna (in water) drained
3 oz mini shredded wheats
1 cup baby carrots

Home:3:00-4:00
half(depending on the macros for ure shake...u could maybe use a full serving) shake with (try skim milk) (i cant handle whey with water)
a bannana

5:30-6:00(Half Hour before workout)
water + BCAA

PWO:Half a whey shake before i do cardio for 30 minutes(HITT,2 minutes jog,1 fullspeed)

7:30-8:00:2 Chicken Breasts on george formean grill
5 oz potato, 1/.2 cup brown rice or 4 oz reg tater.
2 cups green beans, brussel sprouts

11:00-12:00(since i stay up late doing homework,etc...)
1/2 cup Cottage cheese
1.5 oz almonds or cashews

again, this is not perfect either, but I think with discipline and serious ass kicking in the gym, ure on the right track.

I wish I had cared about this stuff at 16

Life is what you make of it, not what it makes you...TAKE CHARGE!
