Romnas · 06-09-2006, 09:03 PM

Hey all! Well, I have been reading all the of the posts, journals and dieting tips and I must say, it has been really helpfull. I revised my diet, and was wondering if you ladies could give me advice on Meal #6--I can't seem to think of anything good.
P.S. I work out 6 times a week with two heavy days, two medium and two light days. Goal is to gain muscle mass, loose extra fat.
stats: bicep-9" chest-36" waist: 27" thigh 20 1/2" calves 13"

Here is my diet, any other advice is appriciated. Hopefully I did ok.
The split according to fitday is Cals: 2270 Fat:65 Carb:264 Protein: 171

6am: 1 slice Ezikiel bread, 2 tbls. natural peanut butter, 1 orange

9am: 1 cup oatmeal, 1 oz raisins

12:30 PWO protien w/ water and 1 banana

1:30 chicken breast, 1/2 c. brown rice, 2 cups lettuce, 1/2 mushrooms, 1 bell pepper, dressing--2tbs. flax oil and 2tbs. balsamic vinegar

3:30 1/2 c cottage cheese, 1 apple

6pm tuna patty--can tuna, 2 eggwhites, 2 tbls oatmeal (I got this off of the recipes section), 4 oz potato, 1 tbls light sour cream, 1 c. broccoli

8pm ???????????????

prebed a good meal would be 1/2 c cottage cheese + 1/2 oz almonds. You need some protein preworkout.

You don't think that I would be getting too much protien in a day though? I have like 172 g. right now. I met a woman at the gym, who said she has been working out for a really long time (she looks really good too) anyway, she said that gettng too much protein is damaging for your liver, and that a woman should only get like 70g a day, is that somewhat true??

Should I just have like another scoop of whey preworkout then, and cut a peice of chicken out?

you should cut your protein down a bit in a few meals so that the total drops to around 150 grams. 70 grams of protein is enough for a woman who does not weightlift.

I would say, 1/2 a chicken breast instead of 1, and cut the servings of cottage cheese down to 1/3 cup.. that should do it.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it! You have a really great website, with helpfull tools too. I think I will use half of the can of tuna as well, so that should get right where I want to be.
