Torontonians here?

[Devileyezz]

Anyone from Toronto uses this board at all?
I just want to know what products in Toronto that you can use, food, supplements, etc.

I go to Eaton Centre Bally's.
And I'm trying to get atleast 200gms of protein, and atLEAST 2600 cals per day.

This is what I'm trying to do:

2 eggs at 8am

3 baked chicken samosas (triangle shaped things made of flour filled with chicken, indian snack) around 11-11.30am.

Home-made lunch of atleast 20g of protein/700cals around 2pm.

---

Around 7pm, I take a protein shake... 36gs of protein, and 150cals.
8.30 - 9.45pm workout.
Get home around 11 or so, and have my home-made dinner, 20gs of protein/700cals.


Here's my confusion. I want to eat something protein rich in protecin/cals atleast once between 2pm and 7pm.

I don't know what good product that I can _buy_, not make will be good for that.
Also, I'm going to buy a liquid amino acid thing for my post-workout drink.

AND,
I don't know what nutrition info it is for the samosas, eggs, etc.

The thing is, I'm a disgusting 129lbs, and I'm trying to gain strict muscle mass to touch atleast 150lbs.


----

Just wanna know if anyone in Toronto has some product suggestions.
Thanks a ton.

Your diet needs some work. Have you studied Jodi's sticky ('guide to...')?

For nutrition info check nutritiondata.com

I get my protein powder from supplements Canada (aka Popeyes). South of Yonge/Bloor.

If you are stuck for access to food, have a shake. Put some ground oats+ protein powder + Natty PB (if you need the fats) in a rubbermaid container and take it with you. When you need to have the meal, add water, shake and drink. I let it stand for an hour to soften the oats a bit.

As noted...nutrition needs work. You need to eat in hormonal balance.

Each meal should consist of some carbs + proteins + fats. So for example...instead of just eggs (protein) you need some good fat so add some olive oil. And you need some quality carbs...if you goal is mass than oatmeal is your best choice. Put some veggies into your eggs while you are at it...

You should be eating veggies EVERY SINGLE meal.

Post workout...you would be better off with a carb + protein liquid meal.

To make it easy...drink 1 L of gatorade and 25 gram of protein. You want a 2:1 ratio of carbsrotein postworkout.

the amino drink is alright but will have minimal effect without the carbs.

However supplements should be the least of your conern if you are 129 lbs...think FOOD FOOD FOOD....

I'm from the Hammer...pretty close to TO

Hmmm, I've never really done anything with oats. :S
Is there anything you guys can suggest which is readymade?
