How's this so far today?

GrassoNY187 · 08-20-2007, 09:47 AM

I'm trying to stay on track and finish up getting ready for school. I was wondering how this sounds... too much or too little?

Meal # 1 (pre-cardio)
Apple

Run (20 min w/ sprint at end)
Abs

Meal # 2 (breakfast)
5 egg whites
1 whole egg
1 bowl Oatmeal
6 oz nonfat yogurt
6 strawberries
1 serv. whey protein

Lift (very intense today!)

Meal # 3 (PWO Shake)
1 serv. Wheybolic Extreme 60
1.5 cups nonfat milk
1 banana

Stationary bike 5 min
Stair climber 5 min

Meal # 4
Rice Cake
.5 Tbsp Peanut Butter
4 oz nonfat yogurt

1291 cal 17 g fat 150 g carbs 139 g protein

This is all before lunch. I am looking to gain muscle, but stay lean for school. I would actually like to be a little leaner for the start of school, but I dont mean I'm looking to lose weight. I go back and forth between having lean days and not-so-lean days (like the past 2-3 days).
What do you think? Too much or too little?

If you're going to eat that another 3 times then it's perfectly fine

By lunch? That seems a little high, but i kind of agree....

I guess i shouldve mentioned this first. I want to stay really lean for the first few weeks of school, then i want to double what i eat (around 4000-5000 cal) and gain 15 lbs by christmas. I am trying to make as much of it muscle as possible though.

The rest of my meal will prob be

Lunch
1 can chicken
1 pc cheese
6 cups lettuce
1 cup broccoli
1 baked potato

Meal # 5 (i think)
1 can Tuna
1 tbsp light mayonaisse
2 pc light wheat bread

Dinner
whatever is cooked
usually chicken or steak w/ vegetables ( i eat as much as i want at dinner)

Before bed
1 cup cottage cheese OR 1/2 cup CC and 1 cup milk

An apple pre cardio is really all i can handle w/out cramps

thanks for the help

Why all the canned chicken/tuna. The canned chicken only yields about 1 serving size of actual meat after you drain the water out, so you get like 10g of protein max. Same goes for tuna, except its more like 3oz after it's all drained. You get very little protein at every meal, I don't know why you're so scared of food man.

i'm not scared of food. I am usually full after these meals though.

My can of chicken has 2 servings in it, 30 g protein total. I actually am not too worried about my protein intake ( i get in between 200-300 g a day w/out trying too hard). I just eat what's in the house and what is good, and that's usually canned chicken and tuna.

Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.

thats stupid, your just going to turn to bones eating 1200, and then when you start eating 4000-5000 your going to blow up like a skinny fat baloon.

Why not just get in a decent diet right now that will enable you to stay lean and put on some size.

good point. I usually avg around 3000 cal a day. I dont eat 1200 a day, thats just so far.

Hows this for lunch. I decided on
8oz pork
1 cup broccoli
1 baked potato
...and that's all i've got so far. Found it in the fridge.

You're full cause you have like 6 cups of lettuce and 1 cup of broccoli. And yes, I'm fully aware of how many servings the can of chicken SAYS it has, but measure it out when you're done draining the water out. It equals to about/less than 1 serving.
