Add more protein to meal one, while I think you may be getting too much protein on meal 2? Not really sure what a tin of macral is, but brown rice is great. Meal 4 is small, but will do. Would it be possible to workout earlier in the day so you don't need the carbohydrates late at night? I think meal six needs some improvement, or possibly just add another meal one hour later of 1/2 cup cottage cheese.

Yep yep - add more protein in #1, add carbs and cut protein in #2, #4 sounds strange but whatever, #3 and #5 both look good but I'm with Flex - you need at least 2 meals after you workout to help replenish glycogen stores and even out blood sugar levels before sleeping...

thanks fot the input how about if I add the eggs to meal 1 and rice cakes and can of tuna + protien shake for meal 2 just to get those two sorted for now

[BigBen]

for mel 2 just have a can of tuna, or just a shake all u want is like 40-45 G protein a meal, and then your carbs of course. Postworkout is the acception where u should have 50G or so.

Foghat and flex are right about more meals to restore glycogen after the workout.

Good luck bud

Meal 5 would be fine (just bump the meat from 4oz to about 8-10oz) about an hour after a workout if there is a PWO shake taken immediately after you are done working out. Also, moving your workout up to this time would be better for the reasons already stated.

pwo shake?

[fog_hat1981]

Not bad - you're going to need to tweak it later on (in a few weeks/months) but it is a good starting point.

PWO shake = Post Workout Shake...

Typically protein (preferably Whey Isolate) with maltodextrin/dextrose mix and taken within 15-20 minutes of your workout followed by a whole meal 30-45 minutes later....
