question about whey protein and critiques on my plan.

[jdmsang]

hey guys!
I'm trying to lose about 20lb.. from 190lb to 170lb ish..
my diet is just no pop, candy, and junk food...
usually I would just eat..
7:00 am a bowl of cereal
8:20 am snack (nutri gram or w/e)
9:30 am a pear
10:50 am Wheat bread (that has nuts and all) + 2 slices of chicken and papperjack cheese sandwich.
12:20 Wheat bread (that has nuts and all) + 2 slices of chicken and papperjack cheese sandwich.
6pm -8pm usually a bowl of rice with some asian food.

I tried with this for about a week and 1/2... with no extra cardio... my weight stayed at 190lb.

I have a question about taking whey protein.

is it ok to take some in the morning right after breakfast? I'm not excercising or lifting in the morning.. i just go to school.

and I also plan to take some at night after I lift(not too hardcore til I get a bench).

Thank you!

Meal 1 - eat oats with some protein (egg whites) and fat
Meal 2 - drop the nutrigrain bar - loaded with sugar
Meal 3 - add some protein and fat
Meal 4 & 5 - drop the cheese

What is your pre/post workout meal? You have a huge gap between Meal 5 and Meal 6. You should never go 6 hours without eating.

I take whey only after I workout. I wouldn't recommend it other times a day because it is quick digesting. If you want the convenience at school you could get some casein protein. Otherwise I would suggest tuna, chicken, cottage cheese in tupperware as protein sources.


Here's my meal breakdown -

Meal 1 carbs, protein, fat
Meal 2 carbs, protein, fat
Meal 3 carbs, protein, fat
Meal 4(pre) carbs and protein
Meal 5(post) protein, carbs
Meal 6 protein, veggies, maybe carbs
Meal 7 (prebed) protein and fat

Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll try to help!

your maint is ~2850cal (BWx15). if you want to drop weight, you should be at ~2300 (apprx 500 cal below your maint level)

if you follow that, your macro content isn't a huge concern, but if you want to keep the lbm you already have, you should keep the protein pretty high

since your body has been in a catabolic state for a couple of hourse, protein is good first thing . personally, I have a 30-40g mixed into my oatmeal for breakfast.
