First real cycle a few questions

[The Bear 79]

I dont eat exactly the same preperation and everything of chicken/beef every single day but I usually average

3 whey shakes 50g of protein each. 1 in the morning, 1 right after my workout, and one with 10 oz of milk right before bed.
at least 3 meals other than the 3 whey shakes, usually 8 oz of meat with each meal.

It use to come out to around 450g of protein and 500g of carbs. I never kept too much track of my fats or calories unless I was trying to cut down.
Usually this much is me eating every 2-4 hrs and stuffing in as much carbs/meat as possible. I will even eat if I am not hungry.

I doubt you're getting enough nutrients to achieve your goals in 3 meal & 3 shakes. BTW, shakes are good pre & / or post workout, but they were never intended to be a meal & should not be utilized as such. Real food is best, especially when trying to gain / break a plateau.

You are correct. The whey shake after my workout and bed time I have heard are necessary. I feel like the only spot I cheat is in the morning and that is just out of convenience because its much quicker to make a whey shake than to fix up/seperate out some eggs. I usually do oatmeal with peanut butter and blue berrys with a whey shake and orange juice.

I feel like the only thing I could do is try eating more in the meals that I do eat but usually when I do that I feel like puking the whole damn day and that gets old after a little while. I currently eat until im very full but not to the point where I dont want to stand up.

And I have tried eating right before I go to bed instead of a whey shake and I have found it effects my sleep patterns. something about I usually get hot and toss and turn. I have read the laying position is terrible for digestion. Liquids digest much easier when sleeping.
