Meal 1: two fried eggs, tsp olive oil, two piece's of wheat toast (need the carbs to pick me up in the morn) and a regular yogurt with fruit on the bottom.
FORGET THE PICK ME UP.....IT'S MENTAL, UTILIZE SOME HEALTHY FATS INTSTEAD OR OATMEAL AND EGG WHITES IF YOU MUST HAVE CARBS HERE. ( U CAN DO BETTER W/OUT THEM HERE, BUT IT'S YOUR DIET) TAKE THAT YOGURT AND HEAVE THAT SUGAR LADEN CRAP OUT THE WINDOW.
Meal 2: Protein shake ( 270 cals, 2g's fat, 24g's carbs, 39 g's protein)
THAT LOOKS LIKE AN MRP......NOT A PROTEIN SHAKE.......TAKE OUT THE CARBS, INTRODUCE SOME FLAX OIL.
Meal 3: 5-6 oz. steak, with only some worchester sauce, low sodium, and some frozen veggies.
THIS IS FINE........NO CORN/CARROTS/PEAS.
Meal 4: Turky sandwich ( 2 pieces wheat toast,3 slice's deli turky, less sodium, 3 slices tomato, lettuce,) and a piece of fruit.
LOSE THE BREAD, UTILIZE ANOTHER SHAKE OR SOLID FAT/PROTEIN MEAL.
Meal 5: Chicken and rice ( chicken breast, cream of mushroom soup, rice, peprika) and frozen veggies.
U DON'T NEED RICE THIS LATE IN THE DAY UNLESS YOU ARE TRAINING.
Meal 6: Protein shake, same as above.
ACTUAL PROTEIN SHAKE AND FLAX/HEMP/FISH OIL, NOT AN MRP.
I am just looking to find a way to cut as quickly as possible, but am not sure if I am taking in too many carbs. YES YOU ARE, AND IN THE WRONG LOCATIONS. YOU WANT TO HAVE THEM AFTER WORKING OUT FOR SURE, BUT YOUR OTHER MEALS NEED TO BE CHANGED IN MY OPINION.
Been avoinding sodium and fat as much as possible. I change my workout every two weeks and do alot of cardio, but not too much because I heard that can take size off of you pipes too. NO IT WON'T, PROVIDED YOU KNOW HOW TO EAT CORRECTLY. CARDIO IS ONLY CATABOLIC WHEN YOU DON'T EAT CORRECTLY 24/7 TO STAVE OFF CATABOLISM, AND/OR WHEN YOUR CARDIO IS NOT OF THE FAT BURNING VARIETY AND SERVES TO BE ANAEROBIC OR "WITHOUT AIR". IT MUST ALSO BE PERFORMED AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES.
Also wondering if throwing in some winny would help me along quicker, on my friends advice. NOT REALLY, UNLESS YOUR DIET IS SPOT ON, WINNY WON'T DO SQUAT REALLY.
