Lean pockets, good PPWO??

[Machdiesel]

During a bulker i like to get 80g carbs, 50g protein, and about 500 cals PWO and PPWO. My roomate bought some lean pockets, and i noticed that(2) have 500 calories, 14g fat(o trans), 80g carbs and 30g protein. Was wondering if i added some protein if these are really that bad for you, and can be thrown in from time to time. I know once i a while wont hurt, but are they really terrible for u?

They might be sufficient for a single meal replacement for each day or every other day, but not every meal. You should focus your attention more on portion sizes than a specific food. Watch your caloric intake, if you are overweight, try a little below 2500 calories a day, maybe 2000. If you are only a little overweight keep near 2500, but make sure you get enough fruits/vegetables, exercise, and don't drink diet soda. Diet soda may not have too many calories 9or any), but it makes your body think otherwise and can effect your normal caloric intake.

Junky protein, plus relatively high in sodium. It sounds like a good cheat every once and a while, but I wouldnt make it a staple. That being said if your bulking you have more room to cheat on things like this. Personally I'd stick to once a week with them.

I just use whey protein and apples and bannanas for my PWO nutrition. Or juice if Im out of fruit.

Woah
2 Chicken Breasts = 60 -70 G Protein
1.5 Cups Of oats = 81 G Carbs
1/2 Cup Cottage= 15 G Protein
1 Scoop whey = 20 G Protein
Skim milk = 7 g protein
Thats a shitload of protein plus like 1000 calories in one meal.

that looks like my pwo combo (i HATE spiking my insulin pwo... i rely on dairy sugars for a slower form of sugar plus a long lasting protein mixed w/ a fast acting)
PWO = 30-40g of whey
12oz of skim milk
2/3 cup cottage cheese w/ a no sugar added yogurt

shower
then eat like 75-80g of protein from lean meat
some asparagus 1cup
and usually BROWN RICE(1cup cooked) w/ 1-2 eggs mixed it (healthy mans fried rice)

Alot Of protein, I normally dont go above 60G a meal.
