meal 1- good but i dont see how you function on that little of food haha, needs more protein though, and some fat
meal 2- white bread is a big no no, go whole wheat, i guess cheese is ok.. everything in moderation but sounds good, if you go with cheese sandwich you need more protein though
meal 3- i guess thats ok, i mean its not really a meal, whey protein shakes are low in calories and low in fat so its not a complete meal
meal 4- sounds good, once again not very much food haha
meal 5- good thing to take before bed

if you are working out and only getting this amount of food i dont know how your doing it haha. Thats probably not even 2000 calories and if your lifting and working out hard your burning a ton off. But its all up to you.

oh and yes peanut butter is great, on meals where you need some more protein and fat throw some natural peanut butter in there. Peanut butter in my opinion is a great food source and delicious, i can eat it just with a spoon haha, but yes peanut butter is fine, make sure its natural though. Even though jif or skippy arent even that bad.

thats bro for the correction but on the white bread, i ment wheat bread lol Opps(typo). I know the meals aint enough so i was hoping i could have some recomendations cuz i know they aint complete ,even tho there not effecting my gym performance... its basically 20min running on the treadmill 250cals burn and 2.5miles, Monday-friday chest/tris. back/bis..... shoulders/legs.... and 1 freeweight day been at for about 10months but BF performance has lacked because of My addiction to junk food, but for the past 3weeks ive been on this strict diet and i feel 10x better.

Meal 1

Add in some more protein, like a scoop of whey in your oats, or a couple more eggs. Don't neglect the yolks, they're important!

Meal 2
Water down Tuna/White Bread or Turkey, cheese Sandwhich with either a Banana or apple
If you really want the fruit, have it PWO if it's a banana, or pre-WO if it's an apple. Whole wheat bread, Tuna/Turkey is fine.

Meal 3
Whey Protien Shake
Try to get whole food here. You're looking at maybe 150 cals, unless you're having more than one scoop, at which point it's too expensive for that. Maybe another Whole wheat sandwich, or cheese sticks with some kind of meat.


Meal 4
Skinless Chicken Breast with a cup of String beans
This one seems pretty good, could have some brown rice/whole wheat pasta, just make sure it's around the cals of the other meals.

Meal 5
Whey Protien
Try having some casein powder for before bed, or some CC. Also have some kind of healthy fat(peanut butter is great here) in addition, so the absorption is slower. Really, any protein+healthy fat works great here.

and of course a Gal of water thought the day
Could have more, if you're having all that whey. It'll help out your kidneys.

Suggestions in bold.

Peanut butter is fine, just keep in mind it should be natural, Skippy makes a natural that is awesome. You could add in another meal, but it's not really necessary, unless you're counting meal 3 as PWO, then you should have another. Try to have mostly whole foods, with shakes as a last resort. A good idea would be to have breakfast and PWO your largest meals, with the rest around even, if possible, and pre-bed slightly smaller. Good luck.

[Eyeamfireproof]

Why does everyone suggest natural PB? I was comparing regular jiffy PB and the natural brands, and there was little to no difference. they had the same amount of protein and sat. fats, while the regular had about 30-40 less calories in it. Can someone shed some light on this?

[deadgearsrising]

eyeamfireproof, natural is a better choice because they don't contain the hydrogenated oils found in regular brands, and they seem to have less artificial sugars. Basically, check the ingredient list, not just the nutrition facts panel.

Hydrogenating oils strips away the "good" fats, like omega 3's and 6's, and leaves behind the rest, so those oils are good to avoid.

Also, considering that most natural brands are about the same price anyway, why NOT switch?

Are you trying to say that high protein diets are hard on your kidneys?? If so that is a false statement!

strong post, totally agreed. Repped on recharge

[effec]

is that a good enough number if calls for your weight? It seems like too little

[echelon101]

how safe is Peanut Butter?

If mixed with fertiliser it makes a high yield isotope that can wipe out an area the size of New Jersey


.....in other words as longs as it fits your macros what's the fuss?

[baarat]

I don't think you've elimenated every gram of fat in your diet, try harder. j/k

No, but the water will help the kidneys process it. At least that's what I've heard.

If your cutting then my advise would be to stay away from peanut butter

Sure it tastes good but I find that cutting without peanut butter is more effective.

For cutters, the main goal would be fatloss, dont worry about slowing down digestion while your sleeping with peanut butter.

The only reason I would stay away from peanut butter is if you habitually overeat it because it's so damned luscious! The idea that eating fat = gaining fat is a misconception; eating excess calories is what leads to weight gain.

True

I tried both routes but I find that while cutting, its more effective to stay away from it because you simply dont have enough space for it in your diet but If you can fit it, without interfering with your carb and protein intake then its perfectly fine.

...um, LOL?

If you're not kidding, *sigh*
it just means don't use it like slimfast.

Your diet needs more food, especially fats btw.

[Foreigner]

not enough food, you don't want to go much below 1800-1900 calories. I'd suggest doing the 20/20/40 diet. Search the forums.

20/20/40 doesn't add up...

im pretty newb on those numbers, i tried searching for what it ment but i couldnt find anything. But yea as for my wieght loss ive lost about 5-4lb(currently 201lb) in the past 2 weeks which consist of the same excersize routine ive always had, lets see if i can go past 200lb-197lb because thats my platea stage. i stayed there for months but thats because i was eating horrible, but now have this diet so i hope it defeats it

Mon-Thurs Chest/tris, Back/bis, shoulders/legs. and 20min cardio 2.5miles 250cal burned and on off days i do 20min HIIT.


Daily Supplements: 4 capsules of Fish Oil, 2 hydroxycut, 2 vitaman pills.

and also Whey Protien Meal replacements which i am concerned about because i was reading the label yesterday i couldnt help to notice all the Stats on it and when i read the fine print " for muscle mass, Do Not for weight reduction". So im debating if this should be my last day to use it

[spshond]

Bulking is the easy part, cutting is hard as hell. Summer is almost here and I would like to get to approximately 175 lbs. Current stats 5'10" 192 lbs without creatine.

I use Smart Choice Peanut Butter, I probably have 2 tablespoons every other day, just to remind me what the good stuff is like. Wheat Bread, Natures Own, yummy with some Smart Choice spread, about a teaspoon, once every other day as well. Iam cutting down as well and liking the results thus far. The only thing I hate is I got off of the creatine, saw what I really weighed, and got back on it about 1 week later and shot up 5 lbs. I know that this is water retention but it sucks. I will give you an example, this morning I ate 3 egg white beaters from costco, 2 slices of 99% lean costco ham in the eggs, a slice of wheat bread with a teaspoon of smart choice spread, and 3 sccops of my whey protein. in 1 hour iam headed to the gym for a very hard leg day. Sauna for 30 minutes. After workout, I love my glyco maize with purple wrath.

While on all of this my supplementation consists of:
Orange Triad
PW, GM, GG
Anabolic Extreme Stack, Mass FX MS, Retain2, and Hx2.

what's the nutritional info of the protein powder? that's the important part.

challenge yourself on the cardio. doing the exact same thing every time is like lifting the exact same amount of weight every time. try and increase the duration or the intensity of your cardio (average heart rate) or the # of miles you are running, weekly.

add some protein to your first meal, change meal 5 to cottage cheese and peanut butter or some nuts

add some carbs to meal three, when do you work out? try and base your food intake on your workouts schedule (carbs around workouts, fats at other times)

i got extremely lean by upping both my calorie intake and my expenditure. i don't recommend you do what i do necessarily but just for comparisons sake, i eat between 3500-4500 calories a day depending on my exercise schedule. don't be afraid of food but imo 20 minutes of jogging is barely cardio at all.
