Is this diet right for me?

**heydespo5269** · 04-19-2007, 11:39 PM

175 or so pounds, 19 years old.

Breakfast: 5oz. chicken, serving oatmeal
Lunch: 2 slices rye, 5 Oz. Turkey, Apple
PreWorkout Shake (only about 35-60 minutes following lunch): 1 serving 100% optimum whey
Post Workout Shake: Whey MRP, 2 cups white rice, 1 TBSP. Flax seed oil
Dinner: 8 Oz. Chicken, 1 cup raisin bran
Snack: Zone Bar OR 1 serving whey with apple or yogurt OR 2 oz. almonds
Bed: 2 servings casein protein

Depending on my snack these numbers change, but generally vicinity:
Calories: 2,800- 3,000
Fat: 40-65
Carbs: 280-310
Protein: 285

The end values are not exact, but general vicinity. I switch up my snack because it depends on what I feel like.

thats a wicked diet bro, but id still add some egg whites in for breakfast & mix it in with the oatmeal...get them pure source of aminos kicking in, in the morning...

agree with junior...you should have some egg whites in your diet. despo you trying to bulk or cut bro?

the diet is fine unless you are trying to cut...and then id say keep your carbs between 180-200 for your size

i'll get those egg whites once i'm home from school and have a kitchen of my own. i eat the chicken in the morning cause i steal from the dining hall in plastic containers the night before

yo LBJ- that's what I eat on training days, which is anywhere from 4-6 days a week depending on time of year, and if I'm on my creatine or not [I lift usually 5/6 when I am on it, and usually 4 when I'm off it because I get more sore without it].

On non-training days, i follow the same routine, except i cut out the pre workout whey serving and the post wo MRP/2 cups of rice.

instead I just have a small meal in between lunch and dinner, with possibly a small yogurt/apple. I usually call this my "day meal" and i have something like chicken/oatmeal again [cause those are the easiest things for me to get my hands on in my dorm room].

So it's like

Lunch
Day Meal
Dinner....

or should i do:
Lunch
Whey serving
Day Meal
Dinner

lol? minor details, but they could make all the difference.

**lil_big_junior** · 04-20-2007, 01:03 PM

my answer to that is get as many calories in the day as possible, so yea add the whey in there aswell...

i steal a little over two pounds of grilled chicken, and easily half a dozen apples a week.lol.

they charge you like almost three grand for my meal plan for the full year, they can spare me some chicken lol.

just get yourself one of those glad containers, fill er on up, throw it in your bookbag, and be gone.
