bigger breakfasts is one thing i would change
as far as dinners and lunches its hard for me to get good quality food at work
but i would def like to know what to eat |
I was guessing you were taking muscle milk for the calories... i would still much rather see you replace the fat with carbs.
Yes for sure... you need to up the calories in just about everything. Try to get the majority of your carbs at breakfeast preworkout and post workout.... but you'll want to get roughly ~2-3 g/lb of carbs, 1g/lb of protein and ~45gs total of fats each day, try to get the majority (those that arent from meat) in EFA's. Get a High GL carb post workout or even during your workout, mixed with a whey protein, to induce an insulin response; your meal after this you'll want lower GL carbs so that you dont under go the "insulin crash". Before bed you could keep your muscle milk if you want but i think your relying on shakes too much as it is and should replace it with cottage cheese, walnuts or almonds, and ~5gs fish oil. At work if you have to rely on a shake you could always go with some ground oatmeal (using a coffee grinder) and some maltodextrin mixed with some protein (i would prefer using a egg or gemma protein for this, but if you dont want to buy extra protein you could still use your whey) for extra calories.
If you dont mind me asking which meals do you normally have at work, and how much time do you have available to eat, and are there any limitations on what you are allowed to bring into work?
Hope i was able to help if you have any questions hit 'em up.
