Im trying to eat clean, but I don?t think I am getting enough food and I am having a hard time balancing meals.
I do enter everything in a food journal and on fitday.

I try to balance it 40/40/20 and most days look pretty close.

Example:

5:15am: N.O Xplode

I would add a meal preworkout...oats/egg whites or a shake w/ oats and whey..maybe some yogurt and some banana or frozen berries..definitely need to eat before lifting!!! Eat, wait 30 min., take the NO-Xplode

Thank you for your advice!

Ill get up a bit earlier and have a shake beforehand. I had been wondering if I am hindering my gains by going just on the n.o Xplode.

I was reading another forum and it sounds like some protein and oats blended up is what alot of early birds are doing.

Thanks again

Other then that do things look ok?

What are your goals..you look REALLY lean..trying to gain muscle? If so, you might need to eat more! How's progress coming along?

[JOSHKOSH]

My Goal is def to gain muscle.
I had a feeling my calories seemed a bit low, I have been seeing results, but Im going to add a morning shake before the gym and maybe a before bed snack.
Thanks again for your advice
