Thread: 50 Year Old Vegetarian

  1. #1

    50 Year Old Vegetarian

    My mom has been a habitual dieter the last 20 years and I insist that she is doing everything wrong because she basically starves herself to lose weight and it does not work well because the weight just comes back when she starts eating again. I try to preach to her about learning the correct way to diet and she has agreed to follow a diet that I provide to her. I was hoping I could get some help from the guys/girls on the board.

    Since she is a vegetarian she can only get her protein from eggs, cottage cheese, fish, shrimp, tuna, etc (no poultry etc).

    Please Critique this diet as this is just a rough outline that I came up with as I made this post.

    Meal 1
    1 Whole Egg and 3 Egg Whites
    Oatmeal (1/2 Cup dry)

    Meal 2
    1.5 Scoops Whey Protein
    1/2 Cup Brocolli

    Meal 3 (Lunch)
    1 Can Tuna
    Spinach Salad w/ Low Fat Dressing
    4oz Natural Yogurt

    Meal 4 (1 hr prior to 60 minutes cardio)
    Banana
    1 0z Almonds

    Post Workout
    1.5 Scoops Whey Protein

    Meal 5 (Dinner--+1 hour from Post Workout)
    6-8oz Fish
    Brown Rice
    1/2 Cup Steamed Brocolli

    Meal 6 (Before Bed)
    1 Cup Cottage Cheese


    Any advice would be appreciated...

    Thanks

    If the macros are right it looks pretty good bro. Make sure to get her BMR and calculate all the macros to make sure she's getting what she needs

    Also, I would put her cardio in the A.M. for many reasons
