Need help polishing my diet.

[lINDROS]

Well I have started the Rippetoe's program and I wanted to know if my diet is on mark. I spent quite some time and I think I have it down OK. I don't get bored of eating the same stuff everyday and also my foods are limited since I'm not the one who buys them ._.
My Stats
Age : 18
Weight : 130lb (kinda pudgy though)
Height : 5'7

I want to go to around 150-160 then cut.

2 egg white
2 whole eggs
Turkey Sandwich
Whey Scoop
1 cup of Skim Milk

Stay away from lunch meat- only turkey breast (lean with less sodium). I would say cut the skim milk and whey scoop and replace with more egg whites.

(9:00 a.m.) Meal 2
1 cup of oatmeal
1 banana
1/2 Whey Scoop

Try another lean protein source, do not rely on whey (although a whey protein snack won't hurt every now and then) I would ditch the carbs until post workout. Instead try raw almonds- just a palm full will do (healthy fats) and a protein source. Also add a few fish oil tablets here for your Omega 3's

(1:00 p.m.) Meal 3
5oz of Chicken Breast
1 Cup of Brown Rice
Salad

Love your idea with the greens- green veggies (broccoli, spinach) is great for you- lots of nutrients and fiber. Chicken breast is also a good call for lean protein

(2:30 p.m.) Meal 4
1/2 Cup of Oatmeal
1/2 Whey Scoop
2tbs of Peanut Butter
1 cup of Skim Milk

I like this meal. Healthy proteins, fats to slow down digestion and carbs after your post workout shake to further recover is good

(8:30 p.m.) Snack
1 apple
1 cup of oatmeal
Two carb sources and no protein?

(9:30 - 10:00 p.m.)
1 scoop of Casein
1 cup of Milk
Here is the only place I agree with milk. Not only will the Casein slow down digestion, but the milk should help as well. I used to drink lots of milk, but ditched it when I wanted to start cutting and it made a huge difference.

Oh ok. Yeah Since im at school from 9-12 p.m. Meal 2 is just like snacks but yeah Im gonna take out the Oatmeal and replace it with almonds.

I stay away from many carbs because my body does not respond well to carbs. I would figure out which foods work for you. I like healthy fats, because I do not have to eat many calories and I will be full. Key to cutting, but you are bulking and carbs may be your thing.

Carbs make me hungry and make me hold onto much of my water weight.

 

[lINDROS]

One thing is for sure 1 cup of oatmeal fills me up lol. So about the creatine which is best before or after workout?

Either or both. If you do post workout carbs, do your creatine there.
