[sportyhp]

well today was my first day of lifting and it was fun, but i was hoping someone could help me to critique my meals if possible:

8:00 - steel cut oats, cottage cheese, and apple cut up, all w/ cinnamon

10:00 - tuna fish w/ carrots and snap peas

12:00 - turkey sandwich (whole wheat bread) and veggies w/ hummus

3:00 - banana soy milk protein shake

6:15 - mashed sweet potato, broccoli, chicken breast w/ peanut sauce

Whats your goals?

[sportyhp]

i want more muscle (gain weight) so actually today i ate a lot more, w/ some more fat in my diet, too. (i.e. granola, peanut butter sandwich with the protein smoothie, etc.)

you should switch the whole wheat bread to ezekiel bread---it's a sprout/flourless bread---check it out.

Hi Sporty!

It's looking good, maybe some more healthy fats like almonds in the afternoon. Do you have a breakdown of macros? Have you tried tracking in FitDay or Nutridiary or another program like those? It makes planning so much easier when you can see calories, carbs, fats, protein. Figuring out your caloric needs for lifting is most important. Then you can work your diet around that. Make sure you get good carb sources around your training.

Let's see if the "print screen" works, here's a sample day of mine:
