lol no i ain't! i'll just let my body starve away after a workout

c'mon of course i'm having post workout shakes (malto, glut., ala and whey), and pre-workout shakes (oats and whey)

my diet is someting like this...

M.1 - 40g of Whey and 40g oats w/ water

M.2 - Full can of Tuna, wholemeal pitta, large serving of salad, apple

M.3 - Whole Chicken breast, cup of brown rice, serving of salad

M.4 - Pre workout shake, 40g oats - 40g whey

M.5 - Post workout shake, 60g maltodextrin, bananna, 40g whey isolates

M.6 - Grilled salmon, cup of brocolli, cup of rice

M.7 - 20g Whey (whey/casien blend), 1/2 cup of cottage cheese

that is roughly my diet, but it changes day to day, i might have steack 1 day instead of salmon, or cod, or more chicken... sometimes i will cut out the rice or have sweet potatos or strawberrires instead, but that is the basis, meals 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 are the staple cutting meals! (on a weights day anyway, on cardio day i do it in the morning after breakfast and have PWO shake as meal 2 and meal 2 3 6 and 7 follow)

i also started ECA stack last week maybe that has someting to do with how i'm feeling?

I think the problem is your schedule. Take a day off and see if you feel better. Hitting it hard every day can run you down.

where are the fats ?

tuna, salmon, and i missed out the tsp. of flax to my bedtime shake

i'm considering a fish oil supplement, but i'm sure i get plenty overall as everything has a small level of fat in it

tuna has almost zero fat in it. so the only fat I see comes from salmon which is only one meal and some flax. you should be getting at least 20% of your calories from fats...

Think again my friend. Essential fatty acids are very important for general health.

Now, I think that you should also take a day off of training. Exercising every day is tough. A day off could do wonders. Hell, if it's been a few months since your last week off, then you may need to take one.
