Curious on suggestions & modifications to my diet....

[MadMetal]

Hey!

MEAL 1:
2 white eggs
1 whole egg
1 banana
2 whole wheat breads
2 scoops of Whey protein

MEAL 2:
chicken breast
banana

MEAL 3:
chicken breast
2 whole wheat breads
1/2 cup corn
2 scoops of Whey protein

MEAL 4:
chicken breast
1/2 cup corn

MEAL 5:
1 can tuna fish [in water]
baked potato
1/2 cup corn
2 scoops of Whey protein

MEAL 6:
1 can tuna fish [in water]
1/2 cup corn

CARBS: 243g PROTEIN: 327g FAT: 31g

I also take glutamine prior to workouts, glutamine & creatine post workouts & more glutamine prior to going to sleep on training days.

I'm 19 160 pounds about 11% b/f standing 5'9. My goal? Just looking for some gains but nothing like planning on like trying to bench 30+ pounds under a month or anything while I keep it 'clean'.

I'm curious on what others may think in general. I know I may have too much chicken & maybe it would be better to eat more like one can of tuna fish daily so I'm curious on other alternatives you would add to make some of the meals somewhat different. I'm also wondering if I am eating a proper balance of starch & fiber carbs.

Thanks

I changed it up a little. I put in brown rice and broccoli. I took out the second bannana. Bannanas are high in sugar, if you want to eat a bannana, Eat one in the morning nad right after your workout. I also substituted wheat bread for brown rice. Wheat bread is good for you but its still proccessed. I put in broccoli instead of corn as corn converts to pretty much sugar.

For meal one I am assuming this is the 1st thing you put in your body after waking up from sleeping 5-7 hours. You should blend 2.5 scoops whey with your banana and 1/2 cup raw oats and gulp that down without so much as taking a breath. That will get your body back into an anabolic state ASAP. Then you can scarf down eggs or egg whites at your leisure. I would also take out the whole wheat bread and baked potato and substitute these items with a baked yam. They are sweeter than a baked potato, more nutritious and quite delicious for the mid morning meal. Also buy a big cut of flank steak. It's a very lean red meat. Cook the whole thing on Sunday and cut it up into 6 oz blocks. Then trade out some of those chicken breasts you are eating with a 6oz cut of flank steak like for meal 2 & meal 4. That's a hell of alot of chicken breast you are eating. Cook the flank steak somewhat on the rare side. It's easy to overcook. Plus it gets cooked real quick when you reheat it later in the microwave (just warm it barely when you re-heat it or youll overcook it). Flank steak has a lot more essential nutrients and vitamins you cant get from chicken. Also, just a personal preference but I find that the tuna that comes in a pouch tastes a hell of a lot better than the tuna that comes in a can. Also, remove the 2 scoops of Whey from meals 3 & 5. You dont need it if you are eating whole foods. Try to stick to using whey 1st thing in the morning, pre-workout, post-workout, and maybe as an emergency boost somwhere in the day if you find yourself stuck somwhere and cant eat. Use casein protein before bed in place of that can of tuna in meal 6. Again just my opinion. The diet you have outlined can be used for bulking or cutting. When bulking simply increase all of the portions you are eating. When cutting decrease all of the portions accordingly. Looks like a great diet bro! Keep up the good work!

it is hard to fine tune a diet for another person. if you are not making gains that meat your satisfaction then i would try this and see what happens.

double the carbs- 30% of the carbs first meal of the day and post workout should be simple. all of the other carbs should be high fiberous complex carbs.
i would eat at least 2 beef meals every day. and NOBODY ever mentions water in their diet. dont forget plenty of water all day.

 

[atown777]

I'm in agreement with Joe D on the water. I assume everyone drinks a ton of water which I guess is wrong of me to assume. Stay away from sodas, energy drinks etc.. I'm a water only person myself. As long as you get all your carbs in by 4pm I say eat away if you are bulking. If cutting I get all my carbs in the morning by 12 noon for the entire day.

Haha yeah I forgot to mention my water intake. I don't keep track seeing I keep bottles of water with me throughout the day & continuously refilling them all day. I never measured how much water on a regular basis I drink, but I know for sure it's more than enough. If I had to guess, it would probably be around 10 bottles of water daily.

I was pretty much out of ideas for my diet seeing it really does suck to eat chicken breast 3 times per day. I'm going to be buying steaks to replace a serving of chicken breast & tuna fish.

I also go to a local grocery store at times & buy beef jerkies that would have about 1g of fat, 2g of carbs & 12g of protein per serving & I would end up eating the entire bag to replace other meats for some meals. Gotta love beef jerkies

In hopes to have SOME gains, my cardio is consisting of between 2 - 3 hour walks throughout the day rather than jogging.
