Meal 5 could use some more calories. And try to add a 7th meal in there. Hell couldnt hurt.

 

[Makram]

thats my problem what could I add to each meal....

or even better what are some meals I can try instaed of some I am having now

 

[Double D]

Throw in some yougurt on meal 1.

Instead of rice try some yams or sweet potatoes.

Its kinda hard because in my opinion you have everything you need in each meal, I would just add a little more of those things into each meal.

Oh and meal 6 I would much rather use almonds right before bed rather than peanuts.

 

[Makram]

thanks......

but can u think of other meals I can have...just want to try somehting different

 

[Double D]

Get you some whole wheat wraps with some FF cheese and chicken and make ya a quesadilla.

Try drinking a glass of milk with each meal and maby a can of tuna here and there.

 

[vinceforheismen]

add a couple alomonds in meal 1. that will up ur calories a bit

 

[Makram]

yea i know i could increase what i'm eating ie more tuna...but its somewhat getting boring....

no other suggestions for foods: like meat with pasta ect...i'm tryign to aim at each meal:

30-60 of protien

15-20g of fat

80-100g of carbs

 

[88m]

What about some steak. Maby treat yourself to some buffalo or something once in a while. Whole wheat pasta's, beef jerkey for a snack, some fresh fish.

ps spegettie with lots of meat balls would be a favorite of mine.

You could just eat bigger servings of carbs and fats for almost all those meals if you want additional calories. For fats, you could eat more fish caps or increase olive oil and a tablespoon of natural peanut butter for certain meals. If you're looking to mix things up, maybe add spices or seasonings to your food, cook them in a different way. Seasoning salt, garlic salt, black peppers, vanilla, etc..

You definitely need more carbs in your post workout shake, eating carbs after working out promotes growth whereas lack of carbs postworkout promotes the opposite. I'm not sure how good bananas are, but I'd bet there are much better sources of carbs to replace (or add on) to your postworkout meal.
