Eating what you want when you want.

[jamyjamjr]

I knew it was a stupid question but I guess I just didnt word it properly... Like I said food is food, so following a set diet plan like this:

Meal 1
1 Large egg
½ cup egg whites sooo how many egg whites is that?? 5-6??
½ cup cooked oatmeal
1.5 oz raisins omit

Meal 2
1 cup low fat cottage cheese add a lean meat here
1 large sweet potato
1 oz almonds

Meal 3
6oz ground turkey
½ cup cooked brown rice
decent

Meal 4 (Pre workout)
6 oz chicken breast
1 large baked potato omit the baked potato, do a complex carb here

Meal 5 (post workout)
1 cup skim milk
4 rice cakes
1 medium banana
wheres your pwo shake???

Meal 6
5 oz top sirloin steak
2 cups broccoli
½ cup brown beans
decent
And having times for each meal IE 2-3 hours apart. Compared to eating X amount of calories X amount of fat carb and pro, to hit those macros eating when you want. Obviously Im not going to eat a tub of lard nor am I going to eat big macs all day.

I just wanted to know about the timing aspect, hence eating when you want....

your diet isn't horrible, but i would need macros (pro/fat/cal/carb) and your tdce to finish tweaking it

to get your tdce

Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )



once you have that number, you can multiply it by an activity number to figure out your daily caloric expenditure, be honest here as this is the very cornerstone of your diet, if you are between two of the below activity levels then just multiply by a number in between them

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:


If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

Thats not my diet just a example I dont follow set diets. Just read the bottom of the post
