Basically, I'm ready to really dedicate myself to gaining muscle and being healthy. What I'm trying to do is build a solid diet plan for myself. I've filled in measurements here on the site, if any of you would need that information. Other than that, I'm 6'4" 166lb. I was around 170lb, but I've been exercising more recently, so maybe I'm losing some fat. Also I cut dairy out of my diet—after finding out it was the sole cause of my acne It is 99% do to genetics only, just eat the dairy...Not eating dairy will barley have any impact on your acne at all, let alone being a sole cause—which is probably another reason for the weight loss.
I found a diet plan online for bulking. I then edited it slightly to suit me. (It was designed for a 205lb person)
For the most part, I like the plan. I just need to take some stuff out, and replace it with something else. I also would like some of your opinions on the plan itself.
So I'll just explain what I need help with (FIND PLAN BELOW QUESTIONS) -
I've been struggling to find a replacement for milk. I'm using water, but obviously it doesn't go great with oatmeal. What I've found, is that if I put the 4 raw eggs into my meal replacement powder shake, It tastes much better than with just water. So would there be a problem leaving out the eggs at 7:45, and instead, having them at 10:30?
I know these questions may sound a bit silly to some of you, but I hear about things like insulin spikes, and what not, and I just want to make sure I'm not eating food redundantly, or even not getting the right nutrition, when I need it most.
I want to replace the chicken, and whole meal pitta at 1:30; with brown turkey mince, and whole meal tortilla. Would this be OK?
Brown rice – It takes 50 mins to cook! You've got to be kidding. What can I replace it with? Brown rice is WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY OVER RATED....Take 2 cups of white rice and 4 cups water and put it in a microwavable dish and cook for 15 minutes.....DONE..No cooking, no waiting, no clean up.
Mackerel or salmon – I can't eat cold, tinned salmon; or tuna. I can't afford two salmon fillets every day. What could I replace them with? You can buy bags of frozen fillets at costco of Tilapia and Orange roughy for like 10 bucks...Not fishy at all either
Cottage cheese – Even if I hadn't cut dairy, I still wouldn't be eating any cheese. It disgusts me. I wish I liked it, because I know it's a tough one to replace. Any suggestions? Plain Yogurt is good..I like my cottage cheese with pineapples it is AWESOME! Try it
I know it's quite a lot to read through, and I am deeply appreciative to anyone who does.
Thanks in advance.
