I'm 16 years old, 6'2'', and 304 lbs. I really want to be ahead of the game by next august when our football seasons starts; I'm really working on my strength and endurance. If I feel i'm ready, I may play spring football and go to summer camp. I need help with this diet I've concoted and I need some outside opinions.

5 am: 4 eggs, 1 cupt oat meal, 1 banana, 3 fish oil caps

6 am: MRM Metameal

7 am: 8ox tuna, celery, flax oil

4 pm: 8 oz chicken breast, sweet potato, 3 fish oil caps, Geratol
multivitamins, wheat germ, flax oil, BCAAs and No-Xplode

9 pm: Lean 8 oz steak, 1/2 sweet potatoes, 3 fish oil caps

10: 1 cup of cottage cheese

I'm trying to build it around my school schedule and going to the gym, so there's a big jump between meals 3 and 4, and meals 4 and 5.

Hey - ok, breif points:
- When do you workout?
- What exactly are your goals? You say you want to increase strength and endurance but is that all?
- What is your activity level otherwise? Do you do sport training? Cardio?
- Do you know your BF%? Or do you have a rough indication of your BF%?

These will all determine what calorie range you should be looking at, as well as what the best ratio of fats/protein and carbs would be.

So I can't comment on the quantities - but for rough guidelines:

Not too bad - lots of fat with 4 eggs. I would drop the eggs to one or two whole and then make up the difference with egg whites.

The banana is ok (esp at breakfast), but if you are trying to loose weight then a better fruit would be berries.

Quote:
6 am: MRM Metameal
Is this a meal replacement? Real food is better... MUCH better. These things are typically high in sugars.
Make your own: Oats, PB, whey/cottage cheese

Quote:
7 am: 8ox tuna, celery, flax oil
Looks ok, although 8 oz of tuna is a crap load - you probably do not need that much. And how much flax?

Also - 9am TILL 4pm you are not eating??!!! But you are eating 3 times in the 2 hrs between 5 and 7?? Not good. Take a shaker to school and add PP, oats and PB. Then shake up and eat if you don't have a lot of time. They can't stop you from drinking. You can also drink these between class and it is not a problem. You can also pre-make bars and take those.

I find it hard to imagine that you get NO breaks between 9am and 4pm!!

Once again, not sure if you need the full 8oz of meat (that is 60g of protein)... It depends on your BF%... Anyway - how much sweet tato, wheat germs and flax oil?

You might want to take out the fish oils or flax and add them to your last meal instead.

Ok... Another LONG time without food here - you might want to add a meal between 4 and 9. If this is when you workout then a shake (carbs + protien) would fit in nicely.

Fine. I would add some of your flax oil here.

ok...ummm.... what would be ideal for me is to weigh 310 lbs but be mostly muscle. It's gonna take a while I know but you gotta start somewhere. I am no just trying to retain the size and strength gains that I obtain in the gym. Umm, I do get five minute breaks between class to change class and one 30min break for lunch but I hardly ever eat it cuz I catch up on work or work on my projects or my other extracurricular work during this time. I work out from 5pm to like 6.5 or 7p depending on whether or not I feel I can continue. Well, since I already spent my monies on the metameal, I'll just finish it first.
