My Workout/Eating Routine

[cha]

Yeah, I think you're right. I honeslty didn't think of howmuch sugar I was actually consuming. I was just so eager to find foods that were high in protein and that didn't cost too much. I will start to eat eggs as well. Another question, what about hotdogs? or are they not very good for you at all?

Hot Dogs??

You're kidding..right?

No Hot Dogs

Seriously....do you have a Sam's or Costco membership? Pick up a bag of frozen chicken breasts for like $10. It's a big bag and will last a while. Or get some cans/packs of tuna - those are cheap.

hotdogs = lips and ass

Not a good choice of protein AT ALL

I was thinking of eating Tuna and Red Kidney beans...my one friend eats those. Tons of protein Although I'm pretty sure I dont like either, but what can I do lol.

I went through the house today and wrote everything down (protein, calories, carbs, fats) for the healtiest stuff that we have... Anyways, I now have a new daily routine although I need some more help in certain areas because I'm short in Calories and Carbs now. Here it is

**NOTE** I didn't add up a few items here because I have no idea what's in them. (Fruits, vegtables, Whey Protein, ground oats)

(Calories, Fat, Carbs, Protein)

830am
Meal1 (300, 11, 17, 31) Total
2x Eggs (140, 10, 0, 12)
Banana
125g Cottage Cheese (100, 1, 8, 15)
Yogurt (1/5 Container) (60, 0, 9, 4)

I think this is a pretty good start for the day. Although, I'd like to have a bit more calories. Do I need more carbs here or should I have it as close to none as possible for the first meal? Only asking because Emma-Leigh posted that I should have 70 carbs for my post workout and the reast of the meals should have 55 carbs or so.

Post-Workout
Whey Protein Isolate, Skim Milk, Banana and thinly ground oats or dextose powder

12pm
Meal3 (520, 15, 58, 35) Total
4x Fish Sticks (260, 12, 20, 14)
125g Cottage Cheese (100, 1, 8, 15)
2x Slices of Whole Wheat Bread (160, 2, 30, 6)

This should be a decent enough meal.

630pm (3 days of the week I'm at work during this time, so I dont have time to eat much more. I work at a pizza place, I'm guessing pizza isn't a good choice to have with this right? Any other ideas?)
Meal4 (302.5, 8.5, 47, 16.5) Total
Mammoth + Yogurt (302.5, 8.5, 47, 16.5)

940pm
Meal5 - Supper Time for me (360, 24, 24, 16) Total
Salad (Lettuce, Carrots, Celery, Cheese)
Salad Dressing (60, 6, 2, 0)
3x Chicken Strips (300, 18, 22, 16)
I need lots more of everything here.. I dont really have anything at home that would fit well with this meal. I'd rather not have the same thing too many times per day.

1230am
Meal6 (560, 4, 101, 31) Total
Spaghetti (300, 1, 63, 10)
Cottage Cheese (100, 1, 8, 15)
2x Slices of Whole Wheat Bread (160, 2, 30, 6)

This meal seems alright aswell.

Here's the daily total I came up with
Calories 2042.5
Fat 62.5g
Carbs 247g
Protein 129.5g
So as you can see, I need more in just about everything except fats. =/
Even though I need a lot more, I say I have a much healthier daily schedule so far Anyways, tell me what you think and how to make improvents so I can increase all of these totals

Thanks for all the help I've gotten so far on these forums

Dude...Stop worrying so much about a six pack..
What's the point of having a six pack when your abs are bigger than your arms????

Just eat 3000+ calories, with 200+ protein and you'll be fine.

Umm.. well... yes - the fruit, vegetables, whey and oats will all add carbs and protein....

Go to www.nutritiondata.com and you can look up the info there.

You don't have to have 55g eat meal - and your meals pre/post PWO-shake should be slightly higher in carbs - I was just giving you an estimate to work with.

You actually also want more carbs here!! So add some oats (at least 0.5 cup).

Post-Workout
Whey Protein Isolate, Skim Milk, Banana and thinly ground oats or dextose powder

This looks good as a mix - but they will all add carbs/protein and cals - so you need to add them into your diet.

Ga'hh!! Fish sticks?! What the?? Ok. Go and get some cheap tins of tuna and have some of that instead.

Add some vegetables too...

And the bread... well.. not the best choice for your post-post workot meal...

This would be fine if you must. Otherwise take some ground oats, whey, yoghurt, PB and an apple and have that.

940pm
Meal5 - Supper Time for me (360, 24, 24, 16) Total
Salad (Lettuce, Carrots, Celery, Cheese)

Swap to real chicken breast (not chicken strips) and drop the cheese from the salad.

Add some olive oil for your dressing too. You could add some carbs here - what about sweet potato or something like that? Adding some chick-peas or rice to the salad would also be an idea.

1230am

Spaghetti (300, 1, 63, 10)

This meal seems alright aswell.

This mean is horrible!

You have made your last meal really high in carbs?! What purpose are they serving you here? But the carbs more around your workout and have only a little here...

What about some cottage cheese, some PB and some yoghurt with some berries instead?
