1.5 grams of protein per lean pound 2-3 grams of carbs fat should make up 10-20% of total kcal consumed. divided into six equal meals.

I have written more detailed responses in other threads, find them and you have the basic requirements of a BB's diet.

Your diet needs work.

Peace

Hey Massad , Where did you get the breakdown of your meals.
I would challenge those figures based on the statements of your meal.

Big Texan has a great diet, However, I would watch the pile up on the evening meals... seems a bit much before bed ....

we will chat

[massad]

thank you guys, i will check out the other threads.

MarkyMark: I got them off the back of the packages and added the carb value of bread to some of them.

Be careful regarding labels.. Some of your meals did not have any descriptions ... make a mainstay of WHOLE FOODS and add some supplementation like protein shakes ( low carb ) ..The reason for taking care of added carbs with drinks is the additives. Mostly quick sugars that make up most drinks. Remember too that WATER is your most sought after supplement. try and take in around 96 to 128 Oz a day. dieting or gaining !

Good Luck brother. !

MarkyMark- I does seem like alot but I don't go to bed usually until midnight and the last protein shake with banana holds me over the morning......it may not be a good idea for some, but it's working for me......if you see any area for improvement I'm up for suggestions.

[MarkyMark]

Yo Texan !~

When do you train with that eating program ?

And if you go to bed at midnight when do you sleep if your eating at 6am ?

I would think there is plenty of things to improve ... No offense brother!
Just Sleep and rest is when gains are made .... digestion takes energy .. Your 3 hour seperation is good between meals but your evening is 1 1/2 hours apart...

Let me know

good luck
