So I've set up a decent macro split, but I've had some problems in the morning. (Note, I'd love to get my protein from whole foods in the mornings, but it's absolutely not possible due to time).
Meal 1 (upon waking about 6am)
1 medium banana, 1/2 protein shake
245 cal 1f. 26carb. 31 pro
Meal 2 (break at work, 9am)
1 cup of oats, 0 calorie sweetner
300 cal. 6f. 46c. 10pro
Meal 3 (1130)
2 boneless skinless thighs, 1 cup rice 1 cup broccoli
500cal 10f. 45c. 52pro
Meal 4 (another break at work 230pm)
Full protein shake, small oatmeal cream pie (to help stave off cravings)
450 cal 9.5f. 29c. 61 pro
I train around 6pm
Meal 5 varies. I try to make this a heavy meal, 750-1000 calories depending on training days
My set, prepped macros for the first 4 meals are:
1495 cal, 26.5g fat, 146g carb, 154g protein.
I'm trying to cut fat. My tdee is approximately 3200 cal.
6'1" 185lb and probably 15%. I'm on trt and I'm on a small blast at the moment to keep lbm while cutting
Throughout the day, I'm usually great. The only problem i have is between meals 1&2. I typically begin to starve, feeling like I'm going to die if i don't eat between these two. Should i include some slow carbs (oats) in meal 1? Does anything else look out of place?
