    Need some pointers

    Hey all

    I have started my pre season training for rugby and need some help with the nuritional side of things.

    I am looking to gain strength and maybe also burn a bit of fat(18% bf). This is what a typical day looks like:

    10:30 Breakfast- Cereal, 1 slice wholegrain toast, protein shake.

    12:20-Banana

    12:30 Gym sesh

    2:00-protein shake

    3:45-1 tin a tuna, 2 slices wholegrain bread, apple

    5:30- low fat musli bar

    6:00- Run or HIIT training

    7:15 Dinner(whateva the old ladys got dished up)

    9:00 Apple,protein shake

    This is general structure of my diet. I don't no if theres a certain amount of calories I should be taking in daily or what?

    Any help and comments on my diet would be greatly appriated.
    Obsessed is word that is used by the lazy and describes the dedicated!

    It doesn't look like you're eating a lot of foods. You're going to need a lot more carbs/calories in your day for Rugby. Make sure you get I would say at least 500-600 calories every 2-3 hours. You need to eat enough for strength, speed, stamina. If you want to build muscle, then eat more, if you want to burn fat, eat less. Make sure you eat complex carbs/lean proteins with each meal and eat plenty of fruits and veggies throughout the day. Also, you need good fats from nuts, peanut butter, oils, etc. Best of luck man
