Calorie intake question...

**Reckless** · 04-13-2008, 05:13 PM

I am trying to design my 1st diet for gains..I am a light 156lbs..I plan to incorporate chicken,tuna,rice,peanut butter and yogurts eggs and the sorts daily to get at least 500 calories every 2 hours...My question is when time is tight at work if it is ok to do what it takes to get that calorie mark,,for example 4 tblspns peanutbutter and a 250 cal yogurt that I can put away in 5 minutes or less..

Would this be frowned upon if I had to do this for one of my meals a day?

you should really post your diet plan so some people can help you tweak it...and maybe look into some supplements like whey protein or caisen...

You dont need 500cals every 2 hours thats for sure. And peanut butter with yogurt is not a good meal.

Every meal should include a solid protein source as a base imo. If you are tight for time use a protein shake.

But you really need to post out your entire diet plan for us to help you.
