Thread: Can anyone help critique my diet?

It looks good...however 2.5 tbsp flax in the shake is a little excessive, keep it to 4 tsp's or 1 tbsp + 1 tsp....which equals 20 grams fat.

Looks good but like you said you need more veggies.
Do not hesitate to stuff a ridiculous amount of fiberous green
veggies down your throat at any of your meals.
Oatmeal is good but variety and constant change is just as
important in the kitchen as it is in the gym.
Mix up your carb selections if you can.
Try to eat several sources of complex carbs
at each meal instead of just one or two.

Awesome thanks!

Definitely gonna work on getting in plenty of fibrous vegetables, and I'll try adding different carb sources in each meal, it's just soooo much work.

You might be going overkill on the fruit, nearing 100 grams a day! You can only store so much of it (in your liver) so be careful.

I would cut that in half (or more) and replace the remaining 50-75 carbs with more oatmeal or some rice. I would also move these additional carbs to your post workout meal to help promote anabolism and storage.

I agrea variation is key, u might try to eat some differnt kinds of protein and carb sources. U might give barley a shot its some good stuff. Salmon is also realy good. Are you avoiding dairy for a reason? some do. U can try adding some cottage cheese with some oats and berrys. What sups are taking? I recomend creatine glutamine and zma. U could also throw in a good multi vitamine.

I am specifically avoiding dairy, because I am both lactose intolerant, and because of the numerous health problems that dairy seems to be the cause of.

As far as supps, I don't take anything other than protein shakes, a multivitamin, and CLA, because for the most part, I am trying to do this as naturally as possible, so I definitely don't want to take Creatine, even though I know my gains will not be quite as good.

glutamine is all natural it is just a free form amino acid. No harm in that. I understand where u are coming from though. Best of luck and dont let this thing become to much of an obsession like it is for some of us. What are your maxs at any way iam19 5'6 148 bench 270 squat 450 dead 450 clean 240

Glutamine you are absolutely right about, the main reason I don't use that is because it is kind of expensive. As far as maxes, I don't really know since I never check max, but I'm pretty sure it's not anywhere near you. 450 on deads??? I can barely do two sets of 195, for 4-6 reps, before my arms just completely give out. My squat max is probably only in the 300s, I still am not entirely sure what a clean is, and bench I would hope is around 210 or so, but I have no idea.

And the warning is a little late, I've already become obsessed with weightlifting and health in general.
