Well i am a chick, but is it ok if i podt too? meal 1 - 3-4 egg white/oatmeal/yogurt pankcakes with fruit blended in as well 8 0z orange juice Need more protein in here, try 6 egg whites plus 3 yolks with your 3/4 cup of oatmeal. If you want to eat the pancakes then dont have the juice, too much sugar. You need some fat in here, so take 3 yolks that you used for the pancakes and cookem up. meal 2 - shake with 2 scoops american whey protein (i usually put 2-3 big spoonfulls of reduced fat crunchy peanut butter and a whole banana mixed with lactose free/fat free milk....should i leave those out?) This meal looks good for a bulking plan, but make sure you eat natural peanut butter (the others are full of sugar). If you dont like the taste of natural PB then just add 1Tablespoon of flax or Udo's oil. meal 3 - package of tuna already drained. small salad. You need to have some full fat mayo (1 tablespoon) in your tuna, plus add 3/4 cup of brown rice. Save the salad for later on in the day meal 4 - another shake or bar Bars are crap stick to a shake. This shake is really good and really helped me pack on the muscles: 3 tablespoons of heavy cream plus 4 frozen strawberries (not in sugar) plus water and 2 scoops of protein. Try it out its really yummy, i add 1 tablespoon of splenda to it so it tastes like candy. Ummm! meal 5 - chicken or fish (tonight it's mahi mahi and white rice and broccoli..any good?) Meal looks ok but again you need to add a protein, carb and fat to every meal. Fats are essential for building muscles and everyone needs them. Sugar is your enemy here not fat. Eat about 2 cups of veggies, plus 3/4 cup of brown rice (white is very starchy but you could probably get away with it)with your protein plus add either 1 Tablespoon of dressing for the fat or have some low fat cheese or flax seed oil. I suggest getting used to the brown rice though, cause when you go on a cut thats all you eat rice wise. last night i cheated and had a strawberry sunday, but since i'm not going for competition style bodybuilding, does it matter? No it doesnt matter. My rule of thumb is, eat healthy at least 4-5 days out of the week and then take some treats on the other days. This is when you are bulking of course. I realize i should switch up and eat chicked sometimes insead of tuna and vice versa..add fish...anythning else? thanks! |
