Thread: Check out my diet please.

I need to start supplementing with fish oil again. How many per day to start out and when should I take them? I used to take them right after meal 1 with my multi.

In general, it looks pretty good.

I don't know what your goals are and your caloric requirements, but the only revision I'd made knowing what I do is to add some fats with your breakfast and midafternoon meal, preferably some omega-3 fatty acids along with another fat source. Possibly some fish oil and peanut butter? PB mixed well in oats.

I'm basically just trying to be healthy. I will have to put it on fitday and see how many calories it is. I'm starving right now. I had my first meal about 2.5 hours ago. I think I will put my fish oils in there after meal 1.

I also just realized you are lacking fibrous veggies. Perhaps some broccoli or spinach thrown in there?

As far as eating for general health, it looks good (if you add some fats and veggies). I suppose you will just concentrate on eating maintenance cals?

Diet: not bad, agree with the others, more veggies please, and track your intake on FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal for a bit, post up the average and we'll help you tweak it.

Fish oil: 10g (10 standard capsules) a day is good.

I will have veggies with my lunch meal. I add some into mid-afternoon also. I am working on the Fitday also Built. Hey my sis is back at work and said she can call you when you are not busy.

I do want to gain some size also. I feel like this is not enough food for that. I'm going to revise tonight. I need some steak.

If you want to gain size you can really eat the same foods, just more of them. Variety is good, though.

Yeah. I have been hungry all day and I already have eaten three meals. I'm craving a cheeseburger right now.

I don't think thats enough food, at first glance, for a bulk. I don't get hungry, period.

Post workout: I wouldnt try for a high GI spike since it is late at night. Try 2 scoops protein with 1/2 cup oats again. If you get bored of that, try basmati rice or brown rice with a small amount of honey or some type of fruit. Either peach or plum can do; cut it in half. Eat only half.

Need to change this part a little. I want to add steak in somewhere. This looks like the other spot. I can only cook the steak at home so it has to be after workout sometime. What I'm thinking is that I will do a shake after working out, wait about a half an hour or so then cook the steak. Only thing I need in there is a good complex carb. Maybe I'll do steak with some long grain brown rice. Also, is multi-grain break a good complex carb? If so what brands do you guys choose?

rice and fruit sounds like an excellent idea.. but have some other ideas for you that i really enjoy: https://www.foodforlife.com/high-fiber.html <--- both the sesame and cinnamon raisin are phenominal.. either a turkey, low sodium alpine swiss, onion, lettuce, tomato, peppers, mustard, possibly some healthy oil based mayonaisses, toast it, delic.. or the cinnamon raisin... pour as many egg whites as you find necessary (i use usually the entire carton because they're just whites) , add some milk, possibly some cinnamon, heat up a frying pan with evoo or olive oil based pam - canola oil is fine too, soak the bread in egg whites, put them in the pan, watch them, eat them with sugar free splenda syrup and bananas/fruit, and you've got a delicious post workout meal... infact, i'm probably going to make it right now..

wait, why am i talking to you?

steak, sweet potato and asparagus for this guy... great combo... give it a try...

i'd rather eat rice with fish or chicken but that's just me and it really doesn't make a difference anyways...

I think youre describing french toast?

No need not to use eggs unless youre watching your intake.

I havent had any in a while. Might make some this weekend for my girlfriend and I!! Thanks

Sounds very filling. I will check out that link when I get home.

What cottage cheese do you eat? If I'm trying to gain some size should I eat 1%, fat-free? Currently eating 1%.
