Diet Q's

[Tru]

Should your training day have more calories than a non training day? It makes sense...

Here's what i'm doing now everyday:

7:00/Oatmeal, 3 Eggs

9:30/2 String Cheese

12:30/Chicken (In the summer, it'll be Rice and veggies + Chicken)

2:30/String Cheese

3:30/Chicken, Veggies, and Rice (?)

4:40/Lift

5:40/Whey + Water

6:00/Work

8:00/2 String Cheese

10:00/Whey + Milk

I do that everyday..

Should I change it up so on a non training day, I cut the oatmeal out after school, and get rid of the rice for lunch? Or should I add a few foods on training days?



Thx

N E 1?

Are you hungry on your training days? I know my body tells me when I'm deficient and what I'm deficient in (I can tell if it's screaming CARBS! or FAT! or PROTIEN!).

I personally listen very closely when my body tells me to eat and I obey. It's worked OK so far for me, but I have a big calorie store (fat) to work with :eek:

I dont know what it needs when..

Does that have too many carbs?

*** Actually some people find that eating the same thing allows them to stay more focused. It's different for everyone.:)

[Tru]

Variety matters?

Well, when i'm at school I have to eat something small.. Someone told me I should eat at least some protein every 2-3 hours, so that's why I eat the VERY small meals at school and work...

How would you change it?

What do you think of this?

Get-Big Meal Plan for Non-Workout Days

• 2 cups cooked oatmeal (prepare with water only or skim milk from above and add cinnamon or other spice)
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil (mix in with the oatmeal)
• 1/4 cup raisins

Meal 2
• 3 ounces chicken breast (cooked weight)

Meal 3
• 3 ounces tuna (cooked weight)
• 1 sweet potato (baked)
• 2 cups stir-fry vegetables (broccoli, peppers, onions, etc.), using olive oil to cook them
• 1 ounce almonds or peanuts (may be added to stir-fry)

Meal 4—Quick-fix shake

• 1 cup skim milk
• 4-8 ounces grape juice
• 1 cup frozen berries
• 4 prunes (seedless or pitted)

Meal 5—Quick-fix shake

I was thinking of trying it--since it's so detailed.. But, majority of the day i'm at school or work and I can't take that much food.. (They get mad if they see me with any).

I'm trying to lose BF, now, ASAP..

Is that diet still good, or cut some carbs?

[Behemoth]

Your never going to lose BF on that, you don't have that much protein in it, and I see quite a bit of fat, and lots and lots of carbs. You have 3 pieces of fruit in one single meal, thats at minimum 75g of carbs and about 300cals, I dieting and I don't let myself eat more than 2 pieces throughout the entire day because of the sugar. Try some veggies.

[Tru]

NO, that's the T-Mag plan./ I'm not gonna use that..... This is what i'm using......

7:00/Oatmeal, 3 Eggs

9:30Beef Jerkey
12:30/Chicken (In the summer, it'll be Rice and veggies + Chicken)

2:30/Beef Jerkey

3:30/Chicken, Veggies, and Rice (?)

4:40/Lift

5:40/Whey + Water

6:00/Work

8:00/Beef Jerkey

10:00/Whey + Milk

[Behemoth]

Ooops, sorry about that, I just read the last few posts that I hadn't read yet and forgot you had posted your diet along with a comparison of another. I'd use yours over the T-mag one, if I were using that diet I would replace the some of the jerky with a different source of protein, but I'm sure it'll work.
