**kyjelly** · 04-08-2006, 03:30 PM

MEAL 1
-2 large egg whites
-oatmeal
-1 scoop pro complex

MEAL 2
-1 scoop pro complex
-2oz beef jerky
-1 PBJ(sugar free)

MEAL 3
-chicken breast
-1/2 cup brown rice

MEAL 4 (PWO)
-3 scoops cytogainer

MEAL 5
-8oz ground beef sandwich

-1 bagel
-oatmeal
-4 slices swiss cheese

TOTALS PER DAY::
-306.5g protein
-324.5g carbs
-107.2g fats
-3505 calories

***They only thing that jumped out at me was the carbs being slightly higher than protein, but both being at a good amount, it should be ok right? ****This doesn't include the vitamins and other supps I take****

Also, Im 5'11'', 170lbs. To maintain my weight, I need about 2900 cals/day. So I shot it up to hit about 3500/day

Comments/advice/help greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Yeah, I drink lots of water. Everytime I piss, its basically clear.

The sugar free PBJ. Its peanut butter/jelly sandwich, with wheat bread, totalling less than 1g of sugar.

cytogainer is 4scoops =56g protein and 79g complex carbs.

the ground beef is lean, and yes, wheat bread with it.

I know the shakes seem like alot, but really its just 2 shakes total, spreaded out over the entire day.

**Myka** · 04-10-2006, 10:02 PM

personally I would not combine macros...and I counted 4 shakes...just saying I would prefer more whole forms in every meal...

**kyjelly** · 04-10-2006, 10:06 PM

what is the whole macros thing?

lol its only2 whole shakes, i.e. 2 scoops of pro complex=1 shake. but i just separate them into 2. but I see where you came from on this...no biggie

thanks! Do you have any clue as to the bloat by any chance?

**SwoleCat** · 04-10-2006, 10:11 PM

Macros are carbs/fats/proteins.

~SC~

**Myka** · 04-10-2006, 10:11 PM

you dont know about macros and youre taking steroids

macros are protein/carbs/fats...you should seperate fat and carbs...let me suggest sticking to my suggestions for a few days and see if your bloat goes away...

just give it a try

**SwoleCat** · 04-10-2006, 10:12 PM

He's taking gear???

~SC~

**kyjelly** · 04-10-2006, 10:13 PM

ha well, I had a feeling macros were that, but I just didnt wanna feel completely stupid and start talking like I know for sure, and am a little iffy. but anyways..

So I probably need to rid of the PBJ and the bread part of the beef sandwich huh?

**SwoleCat** · 04-10-2006, 10:16 PM

Yeah, that would be a good start.

**Myka** · 04-10-2006, 10:16 PM

I would...and PLEASE just try to duplicate a whole meal in place of the shakes...for like two days...just TRY

**kyjelly** · 04-10-2006, 10:19 PM

haha well, since I got plenty of f***ing chicken breast! Say goodbye to some of those shakes! Ill give it a few days...and if I dont see results..theres gonna be

hahaha thanks

i know shakes should be cut to a mininum and always replaced with food, what is the exact reason for this

for me it would be for metabolism and qaulity...not to mention the minerals found in meat

New Kid, aren't shakes more easily digested by the body?

their best advantage is they are more QUICKLY digested...so yes more easily but too many can be taxing...whole food digests slower and youre also getting the raw material so to speak...for example look at what a scoop of whey weighs and compare that to how much protein...whats all that other stuff? (besides the obvious)...but shakes do have their place
