Thread: My diet-Am I over doing it?

What are the numbers for the diet you posted? Just from the looks of things I would say you are overdoing the protein with respect to the other biomolecules your getting from those foods. I would keep what you have, but I would add more vegetables besides brocolli, some fruit, maybe some oatmeal in the morning, etc. Keep what you have but you're going to want to be intaking more carbohydrates. If your bulking, you could always use the extra calories as well. Flaxseed oil is great for EFA's. Add some nuts if you woudl like. Great source of EFA's and dense in calories. Good luck

Right when I wake up- 1scoop of ON whey protein w/ glass of milk

10am-2eggs 3egg whites about 1cup of broccoli

That must be around 12g protein and ~4-8g carbs, i'd add something else here, one or two whole eggs as opposed to just white

1pm-4oz chicken w/ 1cup brown rice

between meal-1scoop protein,2tsp flax oil mixed w/water

4pm-4oz chicken w/1cup brown rice

between meal-1scoop protein,2tsp flax oil mixed w/water

(pre workout)730pm-one bottom round steak(not sure of the weight) with 1cup brown rice with one cup broccoli

(only on work out days)-bottle water mixed w/ NO explode

(pwo)10pm-one bottom round steak(not sure of the weight) with 1cup brown rice with one cup broccoli

Do you guys think I'm overdosing on protein? Am I getting enough EFAs? also on the day after a work out should I have a glass of NO explode to help the muscle repair possess?

I doubt you're "overdosing" you just have to remember it's not like it's all muscle, it's just calories too and if it's a problem carbs taste better

maybe instead of one of your "meal-1scoop protein,2tsp flax oil mixed" add in salmon + another cal source, the EPA / DHA in salmon is generally better.

I might edit this later when i have more time. Really clean diet this, if you can stick to it i'm sure you'll obtain your goal of Clean Bulking easily.

what if i added a pack of oatmeal into my between meal drink, could that be a good cal/carb source? And a pack of oatmeal in the morning with my eggs and broccoli?

Oatmeal is definitely a good carb/Cal source. I would recommend having it in the morning with the broccoli and eggs. What you have is good, adequate protein, but just add in some foods that will increase your carbohydrate intake such as vegetables and oatmeal and you will be solid.

Thanks alot for the advice guys, ill definitely be making adjustments. But what about the NO explode in the morning after a workout?

Cals seem low ad beer.

Add fruit in the morning, it has a better carb kick because it's natural sugar, and it's very good for you. Fruit is the best source of sugar carbs plus the heavy dose of antioxidants is always a bonus.

Try having some berries with your oatmeal in the morning. Toss some into your shake with a pack of oatmeal. Right now just having a scoop of lean whey and milk isn't much for sustinence, so adding the berries and oats will make it much more well rounded for sure.

The only other thing is you seem to be eating a lot of rice, not too big a deal just something I noticed. Try just having more MIXED, steamed fresh veggies.
