wwhats the nutritional breakdown?

This is a rough estimate using www.sparkpeople.com

1 cup choc milk = 160 cal (c=27, p=9, f=3)
2 slices of rye bread = 200 cal (c=36, p=6, f=2)
Kraft PB (1 tbsp) = 95 cal (c=3, p=4, f=8)
1/2 cup Quaker Oats = 182 cal (c=30, p=6, f=3)
1/3 cup cottage cheese = 66 cal (c=4, p=10, f=1)
4 egg whites = 68 cal (c=2, p=12, f=0)

Total of 771 calories, 102 grams of carbs, 17 grams of fat, 47 grams of protein

thats what i was thinking... all i remember is 1/2 cup of oats has
150 calories, 27 carbs, 5 protein and 1.5g of fat (not sure about the fat)

Maybe he is using some sort of flavored packet of oats that has the sugar and extra junk in it.

Choc Milk has way more carbs in it, so is it just as good as drinking regular milk, except you don't have to drink as much to get the same amount of carbs?

2 slices of rye toast with Kraft PB
1 cup of chocolate milk
3-4 egg whites with 1 slice of processed cheese, mixed with Frank's Red Hot sauce

Personally I'd change it all to this:
1/2 Cup of Quaker Oats with NON FAT cottage cheese, raisins and cinnamon.
2 Slices of rye toast with NATURAL peanut butter
3 WHOLE eggs with hot sauce

If you need milk, go with non fat milk not chocolate. Or swap this for a protein shake.

Why not the chocolate milk? Too much fat?

Chocolate milk has a lot of added sugar.

[jimmy-page]

no thats about right for the calorie content for half a cut of oats since per serving its 75 ml = 120. No clue what the correct equation is but divide the 75 ml into 3 parts so 40 cal per 25 ml. 25x5 = 125 (1/2 cup) 40x5=200 give or take a few if you dont fill it right up to the top or over a bit.

[Sanby]

Ok, I am still learning all of this, so bare with me, please. Does the higher sugar mean it has a higher GI, which isn't what you want unless it's PW. So even though there are more carbs, they aren't the kind of carbs you want to be taking.

Am I even close to hitting the right mark here or am i making this up?

Complex carbs are what you usually want.

Make sure the oats are plain oats...learn to like them. Replace the chocolate milk with regular skim or 1% milk.

[jk21]

Or just non fat milk .. I cant see a difference between normal milk and non fat milk however I hate skim milk. Oats can be tasty, mix it with splenda or cinnamon.

[Kerry77]

Do you mix your oats with water or milk?

Water, and the are regular oats not the pre-packaged kind. The cottage cheese I have is 1% as well. I also somtimes mix a scoop of ON whey in my oatmeal as well. This doesn't seem like alot of calories to be taking in for a meal?? Why do you suggest the 3 whole eggs instead of the whites?? I don't like the taste of the yolk that's why I have whites only

Thanks for that site man...never seen it before

[SDC77]

Chocolate milk is aweful besides PWO.

[GEORGIACHAMPION]

its hard to get any good advise without stating if your bulking cutting or amintaining.

no matter what your doing the fake cheese and chocolat milk need to be replaced.

Non fat milk is the same thing as skim milk. Or am I missing something here? By non-fat are you referring to 2% or something?

[jk21]

Oh well if you dont like the yolk dw lol :P And here in Aust. the skim milk is like water but non fat milk is just normal milk with a very low amount of fat in it but to me it still tastes the same.

I"m doing a clean bulk at the moment. I know that the cheese slices are bad..it's all I had when I tried it with the eggs....so once isn't a big deal. I"ll replace that cheese with shredded mozarella possibly and leave the choc. milk for post w/o as well
