Your thought's on my diet?

**savking** · 10-31-2010, 04:37 PM

This is my day to day diet; it rarely changes just because it seems to be working for me. Then why this post i hear you cry? i just want to tweak it any where possible to get the most out of it.
This diet is of my own fairly educated creation, nothing special.

MEAL 1:
1 Salmon filet,
Cup of brown rice,
Cup of Green beans
MEAL 2:
25g whey protein
Bowl of oats (cooked with protein mixed in)
Banana
MEAL 3: pre work out
1 Tin of tuna
1 tin of baked beans

25 grams whey after work out and 30 mins later meal 4:
MEAL 4:
2 Salmon Fillets
1 Cup of brown rice
1 cup of green beans
MEAL 5:
8 eggs on brown buttered toast

Ive been on this diet for a long time changing only the veg and sometimes salmon for chicken, can anyone think of any reason why only eating the same things each day could affect me (positively or negatively)?

1 Salmon filet,
Salmon for breakfast huh? I can' see a problem with it. Portion size?
Cup of brown rice,a decent carb source to start the day
Cup of Green beansnot a fan of green beans they don't have a lot of nutritional value. If they're canned they have a lot of only one thing. Sodium
MEAL 2:
25g whey protein
Bowl of oats (cooked with protein mixed in)
Banana if you're bulking a banana is ok here. Its a lot of carbs though in my opinion for this meal
MEAL 3: pre work out
1 Tin of tuna
1 tin of baked beans
I'd prefer sweet potatoes here. Great pre workout carb. If i ate baked beans i'd spend half my gym time on the crapper

25 grams whey after work out and 30 mins later meal 4:
This shake is lacking for any one who want to build or maintain muscle. IMO a minimum of 40g's protien and 40g's carbs in a post work out shake.

MEAL 4:

2 Salmon Fillets
1 Cup of brown rice
1 cup of green beans
This is a great meal to eat after your shake other than the green beans which i'm not a fan of.
MEAL 5:
8 eggs on brown buttered toast
if this is your last meal of the evening it sucks. Way to much fat, u don't need to be eating carbs this close to bed time. Eggs are a fast digesting protien not what you want at night. Steak would be ok, Cottage cheese is decent with some natty peanutbutter to help slow diegestion. Or even a cassien shake

This diet needs work. There are no macro's for each meal or totals for the day. (cals/protien/carbs/fat) You need at least one more meal in the diet. What are your stats? and what are your goals? Do you know your BMR/TDEE?

**baseline_9** · 10-31-2010, 05:17 PM

Hmmmmm...

I would like to see overall macros and ur stats...

And overall macros before i coment too much...

Its not gr8 tho TBH

**savking** · 10-31-2010, 05:37 PM

Do not know my BMR at this point in time, weight is 240 pounds, height is 182cm. My goals are adding mass not bothered about extra fat. BF is low but cannot get an exact number, please check back tomorow ill find out.

If you post pics either myself or some of the other experienced guys can give you a good estimate we're usually within 1 or 2%. After the BMR also find your TDEE then we'll work on your macro's

Protein/Carbs/fat/calories

TDEE - maintenance calories figured out by your height/weight activity level.

Man if we had a nickle for every time we had to ask for this stuff........

**savking** · 11-01-2010, 03:22 PM

lol cheers bigslick, and yeah ive noticed the forums are plauged with noobs such as my self demanding information and asking the same questions...

**gbrice75** · 11-01-2010, 05:50 PM

Based on your stats, I have your TDEE figured at around 2850. I'm sure this will be below what the TDEE calculators tell you, and/or the formulas. They have the tendency to overshoot sometimes though IMO.
