another how many question

[Twist]

So how many meals would it take to put my body at 100% for the gym (I know as many as possible is always the answer)?

Is this ok?
meal 1
7 full eggs, 1 cup brown rice, 1/2 cup white rice, large glass of milk

Meal 2
16 oz grilled chicken breast (boneless,skinless), 1 large yam, 4 cups veggies (peas, broccoli, beans)
Gym??

I think the diet gurus are going to want a tad more info. Are you trying to cut or bulk...What's your weight and activity level? Go ahead and calculate your total daily energy expenditure, they'll need that too.
In the meantime, hit some of the stickies at the top of the Diet forum.

Here's 2 links. One posted by Phate and one by jamyjamjr. They will show you how to calculate your TDEE.

yup... that'd be a good place to start...

I like to have at least 3-4 meals on board before hitting the gym. Anything less and I can feel the difference in strength and energy.

FireGuy1 is another knowledgeable one..and Narkissos..and Novastepp. Lots of good guys here that can give you some guidance.

Have not seen Nova in forever. Maybe he is only posting in his and Narks thread these days.

It might just be me, but I find it easier to write down/post the macros (P/C/F) and calories with each meal. It makes it easier for my tired old mind to keep up with what I'm doing and what I'm taking in throughout the day....Not saying I've got it down to a science ...it's just easier to analyze.

wayyy too much protien for one sitting...

I just like to eat protein... I am eating a shit loads of carbs too.
things i need to improve on are my pro/fat carbs, but that's another thread

last meal is a 16oz steak, and tons of other food.

[almostgone]

it would seem like if you're trying to keep your body at peak for the gym that you would spread your intake out semi-evenly into 5-6 meals per day....but that's just me.

I don't know if this was trying to be rude or not. I don't think so though. but I don't have my diet all figured out. that's exactly why you and phate created it for me a while ago. I just added a couple of meals and upped the quantities.

[jamyjamjr]

i advised u to eat 16oz's of meat in one sitting???

[Twist]

no you didn't. I just gained 6 pounds and added more food.
so you think that I should not eat that much? Is that bad? protein is pretty much evenly spaced out. about 16 oz at every meal.
I was eating 6oz and started losing so I upped it to 10 oz then started gaining then stopped. so i upped it again. did the same with steak and veggies and potatoes.

[jamyjamjr]

im eating over 4000kcal a day at 6'4 275lbs and i dont eat anything over 8 oz's per sitting..

16oz's is way too much.. your doing 100+ grams per sitting.. break that down into two meals...

[jamyjamjr]

and i recall telling you to keep your beef intake to night time...

[jamyjamjr]

looks like we might have to take a look at your diet again??

based upon your tdee you should be taking in 3000kcal a day...


300g protien
300g carbs
66g fats..

so you should even out ot 50-60g of protien and carbs per sitting...

pay attention to your macros

Ok I will post it up soon for everyone to look at. has been some months so I think you are right, it might be that time again...

way too many whole eggs.
you can get rid of milk
you can get rid of white rice

way too much meat in one sitting
to be honest with you
jamy has giving you plenty advice and so many other guys.

but you still seem to do what you want and think is right.

im not sure if you put your diet back up, that you are going listen to the advice giving.

Why would you say that? I took everything that everyone said into consideration and have already started to change my diet. Anyway I don't mean to come off like that... I appreciate all the help everyone gives out on here. My whole training schedule/diet/cycles/sleep regimen is all from the advice of the wiser on the board. I definitely don't want to seem like one of those little ungrateful newbs. sorry to anyone who took it differently

Ok... ...been some months so I think you are right, it might be that time again...

explaining myself (If I am told I am wrong I make appropriate changes), didn't start off that high; just kinda happened.

but I don't have my diet all figured out.

I think your response to jamyjamjr was the one that came off kind of funky...but that's water under the bridge. Sounds like your headed down that right road again.

AG

[jamyjamjr]

if you eat 16oz servings 6 times a day your eating 600+ grams of protien... that's just plain unhealthy...

your poor kidneys...

[Twist]

Ok I will cut doses to no more than 8oz immediately.
need to rework diet. I just moved and I lost my scale to weigh my veggies and stuff so i will buy a new one asap and post up diet. thanks looking forward to the help

[collar]

no worries man.
im glad your taking all the advice on board.

anyway put your diet up soon, so we can check it out and help you some more.
