Please Critique Diet!
Ok,
Looking for good advise and any critism I can handle...just looking for some direction and pretty much looking to improve my diet. I'm 25, 6'1'' 225lbs 14% BF (which I'm trying to lower).
Heres my schedule...up at 5:45 for work (I sit at a computer all day)
I just do 1 hr of cardio on saturday mornings and Sundays I take off.
7:00 am 1.5 cups of original oatmeal w/ scoop of unsalted organic peanutbutter
10:00-Protein Shake (40 grms protein) with tblspn flax oil
12:00-16 oz of chicken with mix veggies (lots of broc. for antiox)
3:00-Protein Shake (40 grams) with tblspn flax oil, 2 Brown Rice Cakes
5:00-7:00-Gym--Routine Workout and 45 Minutes of Cardio
7:00 Home from gym-consume Protein Shake (40 grms protein, 75 grms Carbs)*no flax
8:00-can of tuna-low sodium low fat (out of the can)
9:30 HDT Blended Protein Shake (50 grms protein)
*protein is Designer and Carb powder is CarboMax.
Just by doing this I see I may have more protein than I need. And of course I leave two cheat days a month (pref. sundays on my day off) and of I know I shouldnt but I do have about 2-3 captain and diet cokes (appx 90 calories) on Saturday nights (I know this is bad but I need to stay social)Last edited by Jrock79; 07-16-2004 at 07:49 AM.

are you bulking or cutting?? either way it is very important to have your cardio be 6 or 7 times a week first thing in the morning on an empty stomach

also remember that your cardio shoudl be a brisk walk on an incline, so it wont tire you out for lifting

thats why I do post...I like to get my workout as intense as possible...then burn my A** out doing cardio where I can't breath (well close to it). I do have one problem with cardio though....can't do too much running...(use to play rugby and popped my knee cap out of place-it was fun).

Check out the workout forum for advice on cardio. But running is a no no. Bad for your joints and it burns muscle. If you are trying to keep your muscle then walk, on an incline, at 65%-75% target heart rate, for 45-60mins

Can you get your cadio in by riding a bike (knee problem) or walking around your neighborhood at 5:45 am ?

I just thought I'd put my two cents in - call me rude if you want. You won't be the first.
But another option is that you could get your ass out of bed earlier and do your cardio before work. Please don't tell me you're too busy because you have no idea what my schedule is.

And yes you are rude
And yes that is an option, although not everyone can function very well without enough sleep and if he is already getting up that early then maybe its not a good option for him. Just remember that on this board there is a wide range of people who have wide range of goals. For the Hardcore BB waking up at 4 might be what he wants to do, but not for a lot of people. But that die hard attitude is admirable Badman

I could get up at 4 am, you're right, but if you didnt SEE the title called help with my diet, thats all I wanted help with, it somehow turned into my routine.....but Im not going to bed at 8pm (I'm not 50 yrs old yet)...Sh*t, I need to function at work...I work in a fast paced high stress environment....getting up at 4 and I couldnt function til 4:30- I already drink 4 large D & D coffees a day....and stay up late enough to make a phone call for some booty....you have to weigh your options bro and as mentioned...we all have different priorities! I use to get up at 5 and run for a half hour-but man, when you start to crash at 2-3 and still have 2 hours to go, not good for business man...need to make money is better than waking up to run when I could after my workout!
