Protein shake + heavy cream + efa

or

chicken + brown rice + efa

maybe both?

also, on off days, do i just continue to eat what i would on workout days? or should i cut out 1 of the protein drinks?

Here's my current diet i was thinking:

7am - oatmeal + 2% milk + protein scoop[30g]
12:30 - protein shake, cream, efa
3:30 chicken, rice, efa, salad
6:30 beef/chicken, sweet tato or rice, veggie,
9:30 protein shake

is that a good diet?

post work-out you want to drink a protein shake for quick digestion of proteins.

Ok, thanks. That is what i was thinking. How's the rest of my diet? Is it ok? I read it was 1g protein per lb of lean body mass, not total weight, is that right? So that is how i calculated my protein needs

It's good but add fat...peanut butter would go good here

12:30 - protein shake, cream, efa

3 tbsp of cream or 1 tbsp flax...not both...could fit an apple here too

3:30 chicken, rice, efa, salad

excellent!

6:30 beef/chicken, sweet tato or rice, veggie,

Good...but need some fat...

9:30 protein shake

most definitely need fat here...if not, you're protein will be used for energy, and be digested far too fast

is that a good diet?

Post workout I'd say....1.5 srving protein, 3 tbsp cream, 1/2 cup oats.

Awesome

I keep forgetting about fat. I'll add some natural pb to my late night shake and breakfast and take flax with dinner.

Thanks :]
