Im not the best one to advise you on your diet but recently I picked up the tip that Whey protein before bed is useless and eggs are reccomended because they take longer to break down while you sleep so they feed your muscles longer or something. If somone wants to elaborate on that please do, I recently started eatin 3 eggs instead of 24 grams of Whey before Bed.

i don't like eating carbs later in the day, especially refined carbs like the ones in bread, plus the sugar and fat in peanut butter, and right before bed, bad idea in my opinion, i'd change this to chicken with some veges

are you bulking or cutting? looks like a bulk

btw, averageworkouts, i like that your learning and using what you've learned to help others, what this board is all about right there

he's right, whey protein is digested in about 45min which won't help you for long while your asleep, while egg protein and casein (milk protein, though don't drink milk because of the added sugar) take about 8 hours to digest completely, making them perfect for a before bed shake as they will give you body a constant stream of protein during the night when your muscle is rebuilding

Now this is a rough copy, throughout the day i will be snacking on peanuts as well. Tell me what you guys think of this diet.

edit

[EMUbeast25]

is this ok for bulk though?

[audis4]

terrible diet...I see maybe 2 O.K. meals.
Here's what I want you to do.

1) post your stats
2) look at the bulking sticky or look at another person's bulking diet and totally make a new one.
3) figure out how many cals you need to bulk.
4) add macros for each meal and total for the day.

then i can critique
good luck

I tend to agree. Where are your wholefoods? Good carbs like oatmeal, sweet potatoes, even brown rice. If you're bulking you will be needing to eat a fair amount of this stuff. And IMO too many people neglect vegetables, they are a great source of fibre and micronutirents. Most veges have no carbs so they can be eaten later in the day and at nite. I eat a big bowl of mostly green veges in my second-to-last meal along with a shake. This satisfies my hunger for the rest of the nite.

7am-cardio

9am-4 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of toast

4 whites and 4 whole eggs would help you bulk. make that whole wheat toast if you choose to use it as a carb source

10am- workout, weights.

PWO! here i am a full advocate of pro/carb. if you have whey, put a couple scoops in some skim milk and then have 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese.

11am-2 peanut butter sandwich

this meal is garbage. about 1.5-2 hours after your PWO meal have 4oz of lean meat with some veggies (broccoli, carrots, asparagus)

1pm- Mass XXX meal shake 50g protein, 136 carbs

damn. what the hell is this thing? maybe this could be your PWO, but personally, i wouldn't use them.

2pm, Ill be at work until 11pm.

3pm-chicken breast, possibly from subway, or home made. No bread.

yes on the chicken breast, no to the subway. bring some chicken with you. broccoli in tupperware, and a sweet potato in a plastic bag. eat the chicken in your meals and 3-4oz of sweet potato and some broccoli in your meals.

5pm- Mass XXX shake

above

7pm- Steak, and some A1 sauce, or another shake.

steak, mmm. throw in a carb source or a fat source if you choose to supplement fats. dude... steak and potato (Ronnie's fav)

9pm- Peanut butter sandwich, some nuts, and maybe a whey shake.

pb, yes. nuts, yes. shake, maybe. But don't need the bread.

Now this is a rough copy, throughout the day i will be snacking on peanuts as well. Tell me what you guys think of this diet.

Ok well without your stats and macros i generalized. Lean meat, veggies and some sort of lowGI carb (sweet potato, potato, oats) in every meal will help you gain strength and size. It's a bulker and you aren't eating any meat. Think about all these critiques and post a diet centered around gaining size.

most veggies provide about 3kcals of nutrition, so they shouldn't be neglected in your daily allowances.
