My Diet WHILE ON M1T -Comments?

**frankrom** · 07-10-2005, 06:43 PM

I'm currently about to start an M1T cycle (and yes everyone in regards to the cycle has been researched and completed), and i just wanted to get some comments and or suggestions in reguards to my diet while doing the cycle...

I am a hardcore ectomorph, i ran this diet in the past and put on about 15 lbs and i seemed to peak off, so now i'm going to run the diet again, sightly modified while i'm on a M1T cycle.

Anyhow here it is.

--------------

Diet

1. Breakfast 7:30am (Take multivitamins and Zinc with this meal)
- 5 eggs,
- 2 slices of toast
- Yogurt
- Juice or milk

2. Snack 1 - 10:30am
- can of tuna
- An apple
- Protein Shake

3. Lunch - 1:00pm
- Chicken breast
- 1 cup of brown rice
- Some broccoli

4. Snack 2 - 3:00pm (Usually take my EFA's with this one)
- 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with 100% natural peanut butter
- Protein Shake

5. Snack 3 - 5:30pm (PRE WORKOUT)
- 1 Potato, or some Brown Rice and some fruit and vegetables like another apple or orange

* LIFT AT 6:30PM * (snack 3 is my prelift example)

6. Snack 4 - 7:30PM (POST WORKOUT)
- Protein Shake

7. Dinner - 9:00pm
- Either more chicken or some lean meat
- Some veggies and rice

8. Before Bed - 11 or midnight
- Try and down some more protein, either by shake or tuna.

-----------

I believe this was something like 3500 cal diet and maybe 300 g of protein... i do not have the numbers right now but i did caluclate it in the past and it was something around there...

So you guys think this diet would be good while on M1T? Comments? Suggestions?

meal 5 needs protein
meal 6 needs dextrose or at least some gatorade.

Think a shake will do? for meal 5? and isn't dextrose some type of creatine? and why do i need that?

Thanks

a protein shake would do, but a can of tuna is better (keep it as natural as possible), Dextrose is NOT creatine, it's corn sugar and u need it right after workout to trigger ur insulin levels which delivers the protein and nutritions to your muscles. so a combination of Dextrose and a shake is very important right after workout (within 30 mins.) in a ratio of 2:1 Dextrose: protein.

thanks i'll look into it... it wont put further stress on my liver will it? the dextrose that is... because i do not plan on stressing my liver more than what M1T is doing...

OH the problem with the can of tuna is ... to much tuna = to mcuh murcury... that was the reason why i didn't have the tuna in there... so...

unless you're a pregnant woman, dont worry about Hg in tuna, you'll be fine, some bros, myself included, down a couple cans a day, some even more...

dextrose is a sugar, a carb, it is natural, your liver is not in danger...read the stickies! IMO, a shake immediately preworkout with carb/pro is optimal, but a solid meal would do just fine (maybe 30 min before)...
