Food for today (pics)

[frsttmer]

2 eggs 8 whites strawberries

[spywizard]

so are we to assume you are using the fruit in an attempt to cause an insulin spike??

[frsttmer]

I actually didn't eat two of them, in finding it hard to get this amount of eggs and oatmeal in me, it's gets so dry and gross at the end, I didn't cook it as much as usual so It wasn't as dry today

[frsttmer]

You're not a fan of fruit for breakfast?

[spywizard]

no, not at all, just a question and the honey will cause a spike for sure, it's a trick to cause more glycogen uptake, but if your system is full, it will cause the calories to be stored as fat..

[frsttmer]

I didn't have any honey...? Someone else posted their breakfast and how they have honey?
I have fruit with my first meal and post workout I have juice with my protein

[frsttmer]

I want that spike with my first meal and post workout but I don't have fruit any other time

[frsttmer]

Alright lol I gotta be close... How's this meal look? I made it by myself, no help from the gf

Do I need more chicken? Veggies? The yams gotta be enough, I cut up two yams

Hell yeah now that's a real meal.

Also, try adding some jam on your breakfast oatcakes instead of the fruit, it's more palatable.

[frsttmer]

But then wouldn't I be losing out on fiber?

Bravo! You finally nailed it!

Now your meal looks like one of the 5 meals I go through ED.

This thread is making me hungry

[frsttmer]

I'm hungry too lol and eating this right now

did you get your breakfast from a continental breakfast bar at a hotel? thats the first time ive ever seen strawberries on a bfast plate outside of a hotel. yeah i think you get the general understanding that your not eating enough. also i skim read to the bottom but protein shake after a work followed by a meal is a pointless set up. you should look at going workout aminos or bcaa pref the latter then have a meal. protein shakes are good but every always uses them as their main source of post workout because they think of protein is the building blocks i need protein...when really you need to dose up on aminos. me personally i would dump the pasta and is that corn? id toss that too. id personally replace it with some oats or brown rice. id also incorp some broccoli....if you dont like broccoli id learn to like it. besides being an awesome multi tooled veg it is also illness fighter and a possible anti cancer food. ahhh if you arent rich enough to buy alot of chicken and beef id look at investing in a mid range 25g ppwoder and mixing it with 1-2 cups of oats to have as an mrp. that is a meal that pack anywhere between 30-50g of protein(depend on your serving sizes) and 50-60g carbs while being fat sparing.

[frsttmer]

I eat tons of broccoli, I'm pretty sure in some of the pics there are some... I like fruit in the morning when waking up and having fruit juice with my protein shake after working out, 1 hr after my protein shake I have a full meal.

I had either blueberries or strawberries as my fruit

These meals are home made

[frsttmer]

I don't ever eat corn.. You're prob talking about the eggs over asparagus,

I eat pasta sometimes to switch it up

My carbs consist of, yams and yams and yams and rice oatmeal more oatmeal yams and sometimes whole wheat pasta, oh and the rice is brown too

[frsttmer]

Carbs - yams, brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, and sometimes almost never, whole wheat bread

Protein- fish, chicken, extra lean ground beef eggs, egg whites, shakes, chick peas,( not very often

Veggies- broccoli, asparagus, those r my main choices and other ones mixed in with food, peppers onions, bla bla

Any suggestions on other good veggies? Or any other good protein or carb I'm missing

[frsttmer]

Also I have cottage cheese and almonds for protein

[frsttmer]

And I think I'll stick with my protein shake after working out.

[frsttmer]

And the meal I have after my post workout shake consists of protein and carbs, little to no fat, I've read this is a good way to do it, protein right way

Then a meal 1 hr later with protein and carbs, I feel this works for me and until I feel the need to change it I won't

oh okay yeah i just read my comment i came across like a bit of a dick sorry. i wouldnt worry about any of these tricks to spike slin until you could run 6 weeks x 7 days x 6 meals. then id look at tossing trials slin stuff. ah fruit juice is almost as bad as having mashmellows..full of sugar no real reward besides helping the sweet tooth. yeah sorry orn and eggs do look the same when you have eye as bad as mine....im not saying anything about pshake being bad pwo im my exp just eating whole food with some bcaa tabs(not xtend pls not xtend) is not only cheaper but your still going to make great gains as the protein will come from your meat & carbs. but its a personal thing i know people who will go pshake...30 mins later meal...60 mins later meal and some people who go pshake then clock back onto the 2or3 hour eating cycle. do you like turkey? its such an underrated meat imo but i think thats cause its pretty pricey. i see your in canada you could always try some of that new p28 bread. 28g protein for 2 slices + the carbs and its whole wheat looks good cant get down here in 1980s land(australia...our customs seize anything that seems futuristic)

Chick peas should be listed under carbs, not protein.

[Turkish Juicer]

Also I have cottage cheese and almonds for protein

Almonds should be listed under fats, not protein.

Oops, good call
