hmm i might be mistaken but i think most of the guys here dont count the protein in their oats into their total intake since oats contain incomplete proteins.. if im totally off someone correct me please, because i havent been counting them

[Kennedy]

Well it is only 5g of protein anyway so not really anything big to be concerned about but thanks for the input!

[Kennedy]

TTT......anyone

Will post more later, but what jumps out is the amount of whey you are using in your meals.

Whole foods are better anyways you cut it for your meals. Also, IMO 1800kcals is very very low...potentially could be sacrificing muscle for energy.

Thanks for the response, as for the whey protein....Unless I carry around a big ass cooler thats all I can bring with me to school. So I'm kind of stuck in a rock and a hard place. I use my whey protein three times I believe throughout the day and the last meal I figured should be light so I used the protein shake again. I figured I would be sick of chicken and tuna throughout the day.

PB? Got anything for me?

OK, Here are my suggestions:

1. You need to add carbs to meal 3, it's a prewo meal and they'll easily be burnt during workout + you need them.

2. Post workout you don't have to use dextrose, if you include carbs in your prewo meal, it should cover you well untill your next meal.

3. Try to have cassein/cottage cheese for your last meal instead of that fast absorbing protein powder.

done.
