Am I eating enough?

[S431M7]

Lately, folks, I have been waking in the morning very hungry like I have never eaten anything the day before. It makes me wonder whether I should increase my eating habit or there something special going on.

For, instance, lets take a look at my eating cycle for yesterday. after I woke up in the morning around 6:30 am, I had bowl of oatmeal and small glass of milk and took off to work. Around 11:00am I had one double whopper and some small fries, ok. Around 4:00 pm I had breast roasted chicken and some salad after 30min workout, of- course every meal was followed by beverage drink. And at night Around 11:00pm I had couple slices of pizza and few wings and then I went to bed afterward.

But at 6 o'clock in the morning when I woke I'm extremely hungry like I have never eaten anything the whole of yeasterday. As I said I don't know what's going on in my digestive system whether I'm eating less or there is something else?

I suppose I should say Im in wk 9 of deca and test e cycle.

Thanks for responses.

wow, what's your body fat% just out of curiosity?

[S431M7]

10%.

and I weight 222 Ibs but I look slim and muscular I guess because I'm 6'2''

[m8intl]

Gear can make one insatiable. How many calories do you consume a day? Is this average? How many maintenance calories do you need? Are you eating enough to grow, i.e. exceeding maintenance levels, but still hungry?

Also, your diet and eating schedule is very unusual.

you should post some pictures to show us your progress

That diet is horrendous, you really need to start reading the stickies. For your own good. The food choices are poor the time between meals is to much and you are using AAS.

of- course every meal was followed by beverage drink

Whats that? Soda,as in coke, sprite and so on?

[PEWN]

im curious to how your cycle is going bud.... post up some pics so we can see you progress...

yeah i can understand what you mean..but i mean i assume you paid quite a bit for your gear...i mean its not cheap..so u need to dedicate yourself for the best results... my personal diet while on gear is basically clean and designed for lean mass...it goes kinda like this.

breakfast
low sugar oatmeal (2 packets)
1 glass skim milk with 2 scoops whey

snack
turkey sandwich on 1 slice whole wheat bread (folded over)

lunch
grilled chicken ceaser salad with no croutons or cheese

snack
1 grilled chicken breast and brown rice

work out

then 2 scoops whey and id eat a bowl of cereal with skim about 50 grams protien and 50 carbs

then whatever else i ate from then on out was just meat and veges.. no carbs

that worked good for me..

Shakes don't look too nutritious to you? Alright, understandable...I fully agree whole foods are better for meals; however, if you're concerned with nutritious foods, a double whopper (no cheese):

Nutrition Facts
Calories 900
(Kilojoules 3762)
% DV**
Total Fat 57 g 88%
Sat. Fat 19 g 95%
Trans Fat 2 g

Sodium 1090 mg 45%
Total Carbs. 51 g 17%
Dietary Fiber 3 g 12%

Calcium 150 mg

Your diet needs a little work, bro. Your gains will be even better with proper a proper meal plan.

Wow, that diet looks awful. You need to head to the diet forum and read up. Hot wings, pizza, and double whoppers shouldn't be staples of anyone's diet.

you should post some pictures to show us your progress

Yeah, lets see some pictures.

[S431M7]

Not to bad buddy. I kinda like eat like u.

Oh my... You need Mr. Roberts nutrition chapter...

[S431M7]

You guys missed my point. I wasn't asking for a diet plan here or ..how to mirror my eating habit to what dietician recommended here. I was basically asking why do I feel extremely hungry in the morning after having a good solid meal the previous day. I'm not interested ony any diet lectures. Apparently all of u rush to criticsm withouting understanding the question I posted. I feel sorry for some u and that's why I didn't bother to reply to some of the unfounded criticism some u posted it here. But of 10 members responcses, only one person clearly answered my question: Gear can make one insatiable.

[taiboxa]

you feel hungry kuz u sleep for so long u go into a partially fasted state.. but either way -ur diet sucks monkey balls... but thats ur problem not mine.

[bpm1]

i think u need to add another double whopper then u wont feel hungry anymore

[taiboxa]

i think u need to add another double whopper then u wont feel hungry anymore

i ate like 16 eggo waffles before bed one time w/ like 2liters of chocolate milk.. i did NOT feel hungry next DAY.. ALL DAY!

[WelshWarrior]

I smell some burning comin up!

[bpm1]

i ate like 16 eggo waffles before bed one time w/ like 2liters of chocolate milk.. i did NOT feel hungry next DAY.. ALL DAY!

i'll bet u didnt take a dump for 3 days after , lol

[taiboxa]

i'll bet u didnt take a dump for 3 days after , lol

more like a consistant 3day dump.. if u will.

[godkilla]

double whoppers and fries?! pizza and wings?! is that you Lee Priest?! like previously stated, your diet and diet schedule suck. no pwo shake and no carbs in your pwo meal, wendy's and pizzahut, nuff said there, huge gaps between meals and your breakfast has no significant protein source.

[C_Bino]

show us a brief outlook on your eating routine in a single day to make your point persuasive.

Your diet is close to the worst I have seen. Ill post up an example of a day for me although it obviously changes depending on the day.

#1
16 egg whites
1 cup oats
4tbsp flax seed

#2
8 oz eye round steak
9tbsp cream od wheat
1 cup veggies

#3
8 oz eye round steak
2 cups veggies

#4 pre workout
10 oz tilapia
2/3 cup oats
2tbsp jam (no sugar added)

#5 PWO
10 oz tilapia
1 sweet potato

#6
8 oz chicken
1/2 cup oats
1 cup veggies
1/2 tbsp hemp oil

If you are eating whoppers and pizza you have no will power. Cuz at that point its not lack of knowledge, anyone in their right mind knows pizza and fast food are NOT good for anyone. And for someone trying to be healthy and build muscle its just terrible.

[C_Bino]

LOL no you dont, I know you are as strict as me when you diet. But we are still both fat so its a null point I suppose.

[taiboxa]

im null and FAT now ?!

[Johny-too-small]

Can you eat ice cream for pwo?

[bpm1]

Can you eat ice cream for pwo?

i prefer ben and jerry's

[Hiphopharry]

how about Carvel (LOL)

[Pro_built7]

something has always confused me on this board for years now, ok for the record and so i stop feeling like an idiot

pwo= post work out
ppwo= pre work out

right???

[Johny-too-small]

ppwo = post post work out; 2nd meal after wo

[taiboxa]

well my pwo is a meal and then i goto bed.. i never ever hardly ever drink shakes after working out.. unless i fasted before i trained which is idiotic.. preworkout nutrition is just as important as post and if u consumed proper macros before hand u shudnt really have to worry bout going into a depleted catabolic state as ur body shud have plenty of reserves to make what it needs, therefore a pwo meal can be even more effective than a shake. especially when one is dieting for it keeps ur metabolic rate at a higher state than a stupid shake.
