Diet Critique Please

An additional tip to make the whole process easier is:

I cook my food in bulk. (Except breakfast because it's usually finished cooking within 5 minutes).

Depending on the diet and choice of carbs I'll throw on a pot and either boil sweet potatoes, quinoa, lentils, etc... in a huge huge amount. 2 weeks worth roughly.

I always rinse my canned black beans of sodium before re-heating them on the stove, as well.

Remember quinoa + black beans, and brown rice + BB form complete proteins when combined, so you're getting a decent amount of extra protein if you're utilizing those carbs.

Then. I cook 20-30 chicken breasts, London broil, and ground beef burgers.

I portion out what I need for those 2 weeks into GladWare containers. So inside each container goes my protein, carbs, and steamed or cooked veggies.

Finally, after it has been portioned or rationed, I place about 4 days worth of food in the fridge, and the rest goes straight into the freezer.

Every 3-4 days I pull out my rations for the next few days and let it thaw before I place it in the fridge again.

*Note: Every two weeks I change my diet up a bit... and re-calculate my macros according to what needs to be done. This has served me well. It reduces time spent in the kitchen, and clean up is easy with the GladWare.

Thats a great tip. Ive only been cooking enough for 3 days each time.

Thanks. It is quite a lot of cooking. However, if you freeze what isn't going to be eaten right away, it is well worth it.

I've found that marinating chicken or beef for up to 24 hours really helps with the un-freezing process.

I know some people argue that the nutritional values of food decrease after being frozen, but in my opinion it's negligible.

OK so this did not work. After about 3/4 of breakfast, I gagged and decided it was better to stop than upchuck. Then, I almost lost my breakfast again working out. If it was leg day, I would have lost it for sure.

I'm going to cut the steak in half and maybe get rid of the egg yolks. I'm going to add to the 2:30 snack. Think I'm going to try some Quinoa too.

Should wait around 1.5 hours after eating to workout, IMO.

Also, sometimes if I am not too hungry in the morning I just drink my oats.

Right now I have an hour in between and I don't think I'm going to increase that. as I'm up at 4:30 as it is. I actually felt like I was going to puke all day. I'll let you know how today goes.
