Originally posted by Diakonos Meal 1: 2 packets of oatmeal mixed in water 0.9 oz. of raisins 3 oz. of white albacore tuna 1 megaman vitamin Packaged oatmeal is high-glycemic and overprocessed. I hope at least it's not the flavoured kind. You sure you don't want to try some good old-fashioned flaked oats? They cook up in the microwave in the time it takes you to open and drain the tuna. Meal 2: 6 oz. of Atkins reduced sugar yogurt (only 3 net carbs) **A hand full of fruit (grapes, strawberries, blueberries or etc. Personally, my body laughs at net carbs. Any sugar alcohols in that? If so, and you are not progressing, definitely try pitching it. Also, lacks protein. Try cottage cheese and Splenda instead, I'd say. I'd also advise sticking to the berry end of the fruit; grapes are startlingly high in calories and sugar, for the wee little feckers they are. Meal 3 (Courtesy of China Buffet) **A hand full of chow mein noodles **A hand full of green veggies of some sort (usually string beans of broccoli) An assortment of lean beef, chicken and fish (Sigh) chow mein noodles. Aren't those deep fried? Perhaps wander over to the Plain Steamed Rice end of the table. And you could stand to get a bit heavier on the green veggies, particularly considering how veggie-scant the rest of your day is. Meal 4 Zone perfect Bar Bars are loaded with glycerines, sneaky carbs and sugars, processed stuff, the lot. Although I admit I don't ALWAYS ride the Bars are the Evil of Satan's Kitchen wagon, I do save them for rare, occasional treats, myself. I would never consider them a good choice for a staple. I think you could do better here. And how about some veggies? Meal 5 Healthy choice mixed grill dinner 6 oz. of Atkins reduced sugar yogurt (only 3 net carbs) 1 megaman vitamin There's that Atkins stuff again. See comments above. If you are not progressing, my advice is to look at anything that says "net carbs" in big letters with a very, very steely gaze. How's the sodium in the Healthy Choice? Whatever your macros, I see very, very little real, home-prepared, unprocessed food in your diet. Even aside from the fact that (again, personally) I lose weight far better on that without even cutting calories, nutrients, man! Megaman vitamins are not All That, though they'll help plug the bigger holes. Meal 6 Balance Bar See above. Two bars a day? If you seriously cannot manage to prepare anything more complicated, at least have a protein shake with oats in it or something. It can't be THAT bad, though; where are you getting the Cornish Hen? Late night snack (optional) ¼ Cornish Hen. (absolutely no carbs late at night) Throughout the day I drink about 102 oz of water. ** 1 serving of anything fits in the palm of your hand. I assume you mean it fits in the palm of YOUR hand....  Again, any feedback is welcomed. |
