Diet looks better man, only one thing

Pre workout u are having what looks like a postworkout meal with 2 scoops protein with a banana, i would do that right after the gym, maybe u could swith the chicken meal with the shake meal for better results IMO


Other then that it looks solid man!

I did a rough estimate of your caloric needs from a post that I made in this thread:

BMR and Questions

With the new MD i bought ( march issue ) i got this little booklet with some supp company promotions in it. Nevermind that, what i thought was interesting is stumbling upon the BMR= base metabolic rate and what it is, i knew what it was prior to seeing it but i have never seen how u can...

musclemecca.com

My estimate is that you need somewhere around 2600cals just to maintain your current weight. So for a cut you'd need around 2100, bulk around 3100. But I guessed your age, so you probably need to work out the figure yourself.

Morning- 4 egg whites and 1 whole egg mixed with 5 slices of turkey. 1/2 a cup of old fashioned oatmeal.
Protein: about 45g
Carbs: about 30g
Fats: about 8g
Total cals: 413 :gaysign:

No mid morning snack
Mornings are the best times to get carbs aside from pre and post workout.

lunch- 1 slice of double wheat and fiber bread with 2 Tbsp. of smuckers organic peanut butter, 1 can of french string beans, and a apple
Protein: about 15g
Carbs: about 63g
Fats: about 20g
Total cals: 410

-workout

post workout shake-( 2 scoops of on pro complex protein and 1 banana)
Protein: 60g A bit overdone. Search my posts for the equation of the mix of PWO protein and carbs needed per kg BW
Carbs: about 27g probably about half what you want
Fats: 0g
Total cals: 370

1 hour and a half after PWO shake- 8oz chicken breast or deer meat with 1/2 cup of brown rice and some broccoli
Protein: about 50g
Carbs: about 30g Are you sure??? See below
Fats: about 5g
Total cals: 420

Personally I'd start with what you currently eat and modify that, rather than tackle something completely different. It is easier to manipulate your diet than to change it radically.

Nice post Tim!

 

[mahrousd]

Yea, thanks a lot for the advice guys! But i have a question on the pwo shake, what can i add to it to add more carbs? Also that pwo shake is what i have directly after i workout as soon as i get home.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Eat a banana, that's what i do

 

[mahrousd]

that's exactly what i have with my 2 scoops of protein

Post-workout carbs, Dextrose. Cheap as chips.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

oh right haha, my bad man..how bout some dextrose like skippy said, or a sports drink like gatoradeto wash it all down at the end

 

[tim290280]

^^ I'm not a fan of gatorade/etc unless you workout like an athlete and it is a hot day.

I just don't think that you need the electrolytes and sugars in that concentration unless you have actually been working/training hard for a couple of hours. And lets be honest, most people don't really train that hard or long.

 

[mahrousd]

then what do you suggest tim?

 

[tim290280]

Water.

Or beer....
