I have no idea on how many calories I eat, protein, carbs and fat.
Meal 1: 7:30 AM
4 hard boiled eggs, MRP protein (BNC True Mass), yogurt, banana Remove the yogurt and banana if you're really concerned with staying lean while eating a lot of food; both are 100% sugar. Add a complex carb. 3-4 slices of toast with Ezekiel Bread, 1 cup oats, etc. Also, remove the shake for good; weight gainers are pointless. Get the extra protein via 6-8 egg whites.
Meal 2: 9:30 AM
1 can tuna, slice of Ezekiel Bread, carrots & celery, flax oil How much oil? Why so few grams of carbs here? Is it because you are sedentary at this point? Carrots have some sugar - how many are you eating?
Meal 3: 12:00 PM
Chicken Breast, 1 ½ cup Brown Rice Ok, add some green veggies.
Meal 4: 2:00 PM
1 can tuna, Ezekiel Bread, carrots & celery, flax oil Same as comments for meal 2.
Meal 5: 4:30 PM - Workout Days
pre-workout
25g whey protein, cytomax (25g carbs) No, this will do nothing for you pre-workout. 40g lean protein (not whey, too fast) and as many as 75g complex carbs (brown rice, oats, sweet potato, etc.)
post-workout
25g whey protein, cytomax (25g carbs) Ok, this works. Maybe more carbs: 40-50g.
Workout: 5:00 PM
Meal 6: 5:00 PM - Non Workout Days
½ cup cottage cheese, yogurt Scrap this whole meal. 6-8 oz. of lean protein, 40g complex carbs, green veggies. Tapering off carbs.
Meal 7: 7:00 PM
Lean meat of choice, 1 ½ cup Brown Rice, veggies 1/2 the amount of rice here (3/4 cup). Tapering off carbs.
Meal 8: 10:00 PM
MRP Protein (BNC True Mass), flax oil Scrap this "meal". Do 1 cup of whole milk cottage cheese with 1 tbsp. flax oil. No more carbs now.
