post your sample diet and i may be able to help you out

[lbleiweiss]

6:30 - 1 packet quaker instant oatmeal with skim milk *i've had that for my first meal of the day for years*

8:00 - Natty PB and Organic Jelly on WW *just started making that about a week ago it's quite good!*

9:00 - 1c Oatmeal with a banana and mixed berries

11:00 - Lean Cuisine *last year I used to just have 2 lean cuisines instead of pb/j + 1c oatmeal + lean cuisine*

11:30 - Apple

1:00 - 1 can tuna *drained but packed in water* with dill pickle, green onion, and tbsp mayo *maybe not even 1 tbsp*

2:00 - Lift for an hour/hour and a half + 30 min cardio *usually elliptical 2 minutes upped incline and maxed resistance 2 minutes low resistance low incline.. i keep switching between those every 2 minutes*

4:00 - 2 scoops whey in skim milk

6:00 - whatever my mom makes for dinner *not always "healthy" but always homemade and i'll try to eat only the healthier parts of it.. also always well-balanced*

8:00 - handful of slivered almonds

10:00 - 1c cottage cheese 1tbsp natty pb 1tbsp organic jelly *its a really tasty combo for all those interested*

Thanks for all the help matty be reassured that you will be repped to the full extent of the law!

[Sixpack]

Need Protein in meal 2 and 9am meal
Why the apple at 11:30 if you ate at 11?
Not a fan of the processed Lean Cusine
Need carbs at 1pm meal
8pm meal add protein

Thats a start seems like your meals are very close together, eat larger meals and cut them back to 6-7meals per day

still pooping 4 times a day

i might just add in a lot more white potatoes.. sometimes i get so tired of eating and just ground up a bunch of uncooked brown rice and drink it


i workout 6 days a week

i average over 30 sets a workout(serious)

but i dont do anything "demanding" during the day.. all i do is sit around and answer phones and a few nights a week ill waiter..

30 sets doesnt seem like that much..
4 sets for 8 exercises..

eat fruit and veg..this cannot be stressed enough.

meal 1-5 needs a solid protein source.. even if it is a can of tuna or 4 oz of chicken or something

drop the lean cuisine crap

the pwo meal add more carbs in... maybe oats or even dextrose pwo

add a lean protein source to the almonds.. pre bed looks good

[lbleiweiss]

what would you recommend for protein sources in meals 1-5 those are when i'm in summer school *til noon* and that makes eggs pretty impossible after its over i'll have alot of eggs in my diet. Something portable would be nice I have the big100 protein bars, should i bring a few of those?

tuna is good..

use whey and protein bars as a last resort
