how much moeny did you spend

brettmartin · 05-24-2009, 01:15 PM

About $125 of this stuff.

QuestionGuy · 05-24-2009, 02:54 PM

not too bad i spend that on chicken a week

i dont see how this stufff is bad or good really...depends on what you do wiht it...got yourself a lot of carbs there, this looks like a good healthy well rounded diet in moderation of course...i dont know what kind of goals you have or what you are expecting us to comment on ?

brettmartin · 05-24-2009, 03:38 PM

Thanks a lot man!

I was just hoping you could help me put together a meal plan for my days around the information I posted in my first post?

danzik17 · 05-24-2009, 09:22 PM

Can you estimate your bodyfat level for us? If you don't know, take an educated guess as to how much fat you feel like you would need to lose to have abs showing well (8-10% for most men for reference).

One issue I can see right now is where's the protein? I see some salmon/tuna/cc/eggs but not a whole lot.

m11 · 05-24-2009, 10:42 PM

Replacing fish oil for the flaxseed oil would be a good idea too.

plums_jp · 05-25-2009, 05:49 PM

what are your goals brother ?? Bulking, cutting?? Bulking i'd assume, you definitely need more protein, maybe some beef or chicken.. Take in as many calories as you physically can and you will gain, and sorry i cant really offer any meal ideas based on your list because the way I see it, if you want to grow just eat it dont worry about it looking pretty..

Wow, first off do you mind if I say that you are gorgeous? Wowsers!

I have about 10% body fat now but probably need to get to 8% for good abs

I am trying to become a vegetarian so that's why there is no meat. I will eat fish though. I need something...

fufu · 05-25-2009, 07:21 PM

^ He is pretty cute, isn't he?

Why do you want to become a vegetarian?

plums_jp · 05-26-2009, 10:23 AM

hahahaha danzik youre sooo hot marry me...dont be a vegetarian animals were made to be cooked and turned into muscle

nkira · 05-26-2009, 10:56 AM

The last few comments made me laugh.....

brettmartin, consider adding cottage cheese, it's vegetarian and has protein, also whey without egg albumin.

You seem all hot for danzik! Check her out here. (Sub 10% by April)

Unreal · 05-26-2009, 12:50 PM

He has cottage cheese on his list.

Good or bad depends on portions and how it all fits into your diet plan. Lots of carbs and processed stuff but if you can stick to a set diet with it then good.

nkira · 05-26-2009, 12:59 PM

Oops!! Missed that!

**Merkaba** · 05-26-2009, 03:52 PM

Youre not a vegetarian if youre eating fish, and if youre eating fish you might as well eat chicken! I've never gotten this.

Now if you think Danzik looks good because of the avatar then nkira must be pretty hot too!

nkira · 05-26-2009, 11:01 PM

< Do I look Happy Merk? Grrrrrr!!

**Merkaba** · 05-27-2009, 12:14 AM

Look pretty happy to me.

danzik17 · 05-27-2009, 12:31 AM

nkira · 05-27-2009, 03:33 AM
