Help me improve my diet !

Hello BodyBuilding.gr :) First thread on your forums . I am making this thread to learn new things and improve my diet . I started working out 2 months ago , and I can tell that its going pretty well. I am doing bodybuilding exercises and some cardio after / between my workout days . My workout plan is : Monday ( chest and shoulders ) , Tuesday ( rest ) , Wednesday ( back and triceps ) , Thursday ( rest ) , Friday ( again chest and shoulders ) . Saturday ( Legs ) , Sunday ( rest ) . I know that my program lacks of bicep and abs workouts but I am trying to improve my overall body first and then Ill aim for more specific muscles . ( I will probably make another tread about it to improve that as well )

So , My current diet plan is : Breakfast arround 100 ml of milk + oats ( 4 tablespoons ) and half a scoop of warrior labs gainer protein with 250mlk of milk ( I know its cringy that a noob has supplements but I didnt have to buy it so... ) Pre-workout ( Because I workout in the morning ) : half scoup of warriorlabs protein with 250ml water this time .

Post - workout ( 1 full scoup of warriorlabs protein with 500 ml water )
Lunch ( mid-day meal ) : Whatever my mom has cooked ( ... ) , it will probably be meat like chicken , fish , pasta , rice , or things like legume and spinach for example .
For my afternoon meal , I eat either eat 2 chicken fillets ( and some times with rice ) , or again the same food I ate in the lunch , only if its meat .
My dinner is always an omelette with 3 eggs
And last but not least , before I get to bed , I eat greek yogurt with some walnuts . ( I started doing this 2 days ago as I heard that the casein that the yogurt contains is needed when you sleep to grow more muscle.)

So thats my nutrition plan , I know that it might be super bad , but I am new and I am doing my best to learn new things :) My transformation started 2 months ago , and I really want you to help me achieve my goals .



Thanks in advance . With regards , Jim

How old are you?

You provided a menu.

Does it meet your caloric/macro needs?

That's what you need to learn. Read the stickies and figure it out.

I am a bit considered about the cards because of the oats and the gainer supplement .. I think that I am consuming my recommended carbs daily income only with my breakfast .. :p I really have to check that out .

Should I Check my needed macros with a random calculator on the internet ? Thanks for the reply !

If you read the sticky threads here, you would know there isn't a limit for how many carbs (or any other macro) you can have - besides staying within your calorie target.

Put all those things into myfitnesspal and tell us what the result is.

You can get an initial guess at how many calories you need from a calculator. You will need to adjust as you go along though since these are really just guesswork

Macros are calculated as 1.6g of protein and 1g of fat (as minimums) per kg of bodyweight

^ This, but be aware there can be inaccuracies with MFP, so verify against food packaging labels.

In addition, "think" and "know" are 2 different things.

When it comes to having the desire to see actual results, I prefer to know.

Eat some more fruits and veggies.

[QUOTE=formicaman;1568036801]Eat some more fruits and veggies.[/QUOTE] I usually have some veggies in my mid day launch , and a banana in my last meal!

It's not so much 'what you eat' that you want to focus on. It's the overall calories/macros that you are intaking to meet your goals.

If you are looking to lose weight, then you need to eat in a calorie deficit diet.

If you are looking to gain weight, then you need to eat in a calorie surplus diet.

I would recommend using an app like MyFitnessPal and reading through the nutrition section stickies to help you determine the amount of calories/macros that you should be targeting.

All these apps keep asking the same thing " do you want to add weight or lose ? " . And I am super confused about what I should do . Of course and I want to gain more muscle , but I really want to lose some bodyfat too . My brother keeps telling me though that my body fat is fine , but I am looking like that because I lack of muscles to support my body .. what do you think ?
