Appreciate the tips there. Tyring to put those in play.
Problem's I've had so far this week is getting in those evening meals. On Mon & Tues even had meal 5 & 6 too close together, but made sure I got them in there to ensure I met my daily caloric needs considering I lifted w/ 30 min of post workout cardio on those days.
Today is an off day with the exception of AM cardio on the elliptical. Got about 45 min in at about 65%.
Working on getting together a detailed log based on the recommendations above, but for now I have some additional questions.
I've omitted the beans. No prob there. too filling and takes up too much space.
1. You say take out the variety. Can I swap broccoli for sweet potatoes from time to time? Either can get boring in repitition, but i dont mind if i can alternate.
2. It was pointed out earlier that I should not count the protein that is listed in my oats for my Meal 1 shake. Broken down that gives me:
8 egg whites = 40g protein (based on 5g pro per white as stated on label)
Should I up this?
3. On off-days like today , its suggested to have a real meal in place of a whey shake. Ok but can I do another shake like in meal 1 with the egg whites and oats or without oats.
4. Weekends. I am just NOT hungry on the weekends. I know its not healthy but in the past i had an appetite for maybe 2 meals. So my whine is about trying to cram in 6 meals. Can i get away with 4 or 5 and adjusting the ratios to compensate for the missed meals? I have a feeling I know what the answer is here.
5. Again, the egg white shakes. I love them! I can knock them down like nothing. Preparations is effortless. Can i have more than one of these daily? Especially on the weekends. If need be to get some fats in, I could probably put in some yolk or use egg beaters. I imagine that the oats would need to be taken out depending on the time of day.
Thanks in advance!!
