workout
m3 = 1/2 c. oats w/ protein shake or PP mixed in i dunno

m4 = tuna w/ 1 can green beans

m5 = chicken w/ broccoli?

maybe i'll switch oats with brown rice in one of those meals. Which is a better carb source?

In my opinion the banana was fine for PWO (people are still scared of fruit!??

There is actually no reason to be). It offers you starches, glucose, water, Vit B, potassium and is fat free (all excellent things post-workout).

I would also add in some carbs to your first meal - the best way to start the day is to get some good low GI carbs into your body...

They have actually done studies where people loose more weight if they eat a good breakfast (interestingly they have also done studies that show that lean mass is retained to a greater extent with a good pre-bed meal as well!!).

Also - Try not to rely on protein powder too much. This is not nearly as good for you as real food protein - it is less filling and it takes less energy for your body to use.. So the only time you really want it is around your workouts.

You definately want to slowly increase your calories - but to start you could try something like (just as an example):

Meal 1: 0.5 cup oats, 6 egg whites, 0.5 tbs peanut butter, 2 fishies
Meal 2 (pre w/out): 0.5 cup oats, 1 scoop PP
Meal 3 (post w/out): 1 banana, 1 scoop whey
Meal 4: 0.33 cup oats, 3.5 oz tuna, 1 can green beans, 2 fishies
Meal 5: 3.5 oz chicken, broccoli, 1 oz walnuts, 2 fishies

That would give you (not counting the vegetables - they are 'free'):
Cals: 1275
Carbs: 105
Protein: 135
Fats: 35

As for which carb source is better - well, whole-grain rolled oats have a lower GI, but has slightly higher fat levels... But either is good.

Mix them up.

I like that - thanks for the tip Emma!

Yes. I want her to eat 6 cans of tuna a day on top of all her regular meals!

fishies = Fish oil capsules.
2 caps in 3 meals = 6 caps a day = 6g (54 cals) of healthy omega-3 fats.

Good morning.

Hey Candy. Good luck getting back on track. I can see that you are already on your way to a much healthier, fitter, happier person.

By the way, don't listen to yourself. You are absolutely gorgeous, especially your smile.

RoCk79 · 12-15-2004, 09:34 AM

Hey, goodmorning Candy girl, how are you? Did you have a good night last night???

Some people consider broccoli to be a 'free food'

because of all the fibre. So you might want to throw in 1/2 cup of brown long grain rice or that 1oz of walnuts that Emma suggested

How did that tricep work out go?

RoCk79 · 12-15-2004, 09:49 AM

Oh I went over and made dinner for the fiance. Hmmm....Good.

(Geeze, I must be the only one who hasnt' started xmas shopping yet

)

Candy · 12-15-2004, 09:53 AM

It was ok. I should have done shoulders too but............

I am lazy I guess.

oh yeah
M1 = 1/2 c. oats + egg subb. + 1/2 TBS pb = 2 fishies.

You are eating right?

RoCk79 · 12-15-2004, 01:55 PM

If your eating right and drinking lots of water, thats really good. Are you taking any supps for weight lose??

Candy · 12-15-2004, 02:18 PM

Well, I am def. eating more than usual. I am drinking boatloads of water, but that is not unusual for me.

I've never dropeed four pounds in two days w/ out not eating so I dunno, unless I was carrying some water weight from Sunday? No supps.

RoCk79 · 12-15-2004, 02:35 PM

How do you feel? Do you feel drained? Lack of energy? Or are you feeling better, more energy?

Candy · 12-15-2004, 02:43 PM

I feel fine. Actually I feel fat. isrn. I'm not drained but I dont exactly have any more energy?

RoCk79 · 12-15-2004, 02:46 PM

ENOUGH with the fat comments. Geeze girl, we all saw your pics, there no way your fat. Relax.

As long as you feel good, drained of energy but dont feel sick, you should be fine. Those 4lbs are nothing. Good job.

Candy · 12-15-2004, 02:48 PM
