5 meals per day

[OD11]

Hello I would like advices on what to put in the 5 meals of the day (pre workout breakfast, post workout meal, 3rd meal, 4th meal, 5th meal)

Bodybuilding level: beginner
Purpose of the meals: gain muscle

My daily calorie intake is as follow: 3230 calories, 88g fat, 420g carbs, 180g proteins

My first meal breakfast pre-workout is as follow:

100g Oatmeal
100ml almond milk
25g Blueberries
25g Blackberries
25g Raspberry
10g Almond
15g whey
Total: 533 calories, 15g fat, 66.5g carbs, 29g proteins

For the second meal, I've thought about protein shake with blueberries blackberries raspberry whey , brown rice with sweet potato and salmon.

I have no idea about what to include in the 3 other meals

You can literally eat anything you want.

Im curious what your lifestyle and training schedule is like. For most people, 3230 for a beginner would only be needed if you're otherwise also quite active.

Have you tested this calorie amount to ensure it is appropriate for u?

How much do you weigh? How tall are you? How many calories are you consuming now?

You've listed a series of "Bro" foods, which is completely fine, as long as you can continue eating that way long term. The key to either gaining muscle or losing fat is consistency.

^ what they said

also, why not just eat flexibly? eat what you want instead of having "perfect" predesigned meals

Add some chicken, beef, pork, fish or mutton. Add some fruits and vegetables. Drink milk too. Whey is a supplement, not a core food.

Thanks for mutton.

5 meals a day? Sounds exhausting. 2 meals 2 snacks crew. EZ MODE

[paulinkansas]

Thanks for mutton.

Mutton is no problem to me.

Five smaller meals a day it's very good; you won't feel bloated. Don't bother yourself weighting the blueberries and blackberries and raspberries; they won't make you fat or slim, but they will keep your vitamins and minerals at good levels; one fist of each of them for the entire day it's good enough.

In the other three meals, you have to include some chicken, pork, beef, egg whites, and maybe one egg yolk; beans are also a very good choice. Just make sure to stay away from anything made with white flower, anything deep-fried or preprocessed. Add maybe in the mix an apple, a pear, a banana, change them daily not to get bored.

As long as you get some protein in a few times a day your number of meals doesn't matter
