chicken portion

[seriouslifter]

why is a 4oz chicken so small? I just cooked frozen chicken and 1/2 chicken is 24g protein. They are so small when i divided them, oh well as long as my overall intake is met. I guess i need more veggies to fill up. I dont see how that half chicken since it gets smaller when cooked is 24g protein. Def not filling.

you only eat 24g protein per meal? whats the rest of the diet look like?

drop the high GI carbs for low GI carbs i.e. oats, potato etc

I would do a low GI carb or do a mix of high and low.

I never count broccoli macros.
What are your stats?

I disagree with going low on the glycemic index post workout. Unless you are gunning some insulin you need to spike it naturally to shuttle protein.

Post workout sorry, im not using glycoload im going to use 1 white plainbagel. basically same macros is that +/-

Meal #4 a apple is not good? More oats, i wanted fruit in my diet, i thought apple was fine when i was working out yesterday, since i started this diet yesterday. how would i eat olive oil before bed? I thought pb is fine. Also Meal #6, so i need to add almonds in that one or can i take omeg 3 6 9 pills?

OK SO DONT!!
sometimes I mix high/low gi...but I have been seeing results with low
The whole "spiking your insulin " is bullshit IMO

If your super horny about fruit, I would do it for breakfast and PWO only. I would have too much of a crash pre.
How would you eat olive oil....uh, put it in your mouth....
Meal 6....yea, add a fat if that fits into your macros....are those pills like fish oil or whatever?

If you feel really tired afterwards/lazy.
Doesn't it show that your only eating 4g fat in meal 6?

an apple is very low GI (about 23 or so). This is because of it's high fructose content. As such, it should not cause a crash per se, as it has little effect on blood suger. That being said, the fructose is not beneficial post-workout as it only repleneshes liver glycogen (there is only 100g or so) and when this is full it is converted to fat. Anything that metabolizes to glucose is better, which is why a banana post workout is a more appropriate fruit, as the banana is only about 40% fructose, whereas an apple is more like 65-70%fructose.

we were talking about pre workout with the apple, i know banana is good post workout.
