Geez, 380 pounds????? Good luck with the training, man. I'd say eat 5-6 meals per day, but I take it you're cutting calories, so what you are doing is good. Nice lifts, btw!

[heathj]

You should spread your meals out more. I'm sure your body probably isn't digesting 8 scoops of protein powder all at once. How many grams per scoop?

[pruneman]

I would have to agree with heathj. It might help to add more whole food and veggies.

[big calvin]

heathj: 10g per scoop(simply protein EAS 20g per 2 scoops)

prumeman: i kno i should eat more real food, its just lik if i have 6 meals im gonna eat, normally 3 of them are ok and da rest i end up cheating...so i just thought well if i only had 3 meals maybe i wouldnt cheat...i dont kno it made sence at the time :/

wha i mean is if i said ok tomorrow im going to eat every 2 hours small protein meals...protein shake/steak/peanuts by the 2-3 meal id be cheating....but if i said ok tomorrow morning im going to have a big shake....den not worry about dieting and around lunch have a big steak... and befor bed have peanuts or sumthing....theres a bigger chance i wont end up cheating

[big calvin]

2 out of 4 meals... :/

9:00am
12oz. steak

11:00am
cheese burger and a coke :/

3:00pm
8 scoops protein powder
2 cups 2% milk

7:00pm
3 chicken strips ,large coke

dats it :/ crappy day

tomorrow training day..hopefully it will be better

[heathj]

You should add another meal or two in there. Maybe lower your protein intake a little and up your carbs...

And find a substitute for all the damn protein powder you are eating, and then spread out your protein throughout the day. Turkey, chicken, steak, tuna, etc...

[big calvin]

took ur advice j...

10:30am(post workout)
4 scoops protein powder
2 cups 2% milk

1:00pm
turkey and cheese sub

4:00pm
lil less then a bag of brown rice bag and 8oz. ground turkey

great day :):):)...but i tink i have a cold :(

[heathj]

Good...when I cut I spread meals out every 2-3 hours. If I don't eat small meals every 2-3 hours, I starve.
