Hi all. Newish to the board (used to visit occasionally a while ago) and looking for some diet help. Iam 5' 10" tall at 170 pounds, around 12-15% bodyfat. I am trying to lean up a little from this, nothing too drastic, maybe 10% or so over time. Looking to hold that sort of condition long term.
My diet up until last week was as follows:
7.30a.m 50g oatmeal, 4 or 5 dried apricots, 2 or 3 brazil nuts, 50g whey, multivit, glucosamine.
9.30a.m Post workout shake of 35g whey, 40g dextrose.
11.00a.m 150g chicken, 60g wholemeal pasta, sauce, 8 or 9 almonds.
1.30p.m 150g turkey breast, 2 small slices wholemeal bread with salad garnish, 8 or 9 almonds.
4.00pm 50g whey, banana.
6.30pm Large wholemeal pitta, 150g chicken, stir fried vegetables (no oil), 8 or 9 almonds, stir in sauce.
9.00pm 50g whey.
11.30pm 150g chicken, 1 boiled egg, tablespoon Udos oil (omega fats).
Obviously on non-workout days there is no post workout shake.
Ihave just changed to the following diet:
7.30a.m 50g oatmeal, 4 or 5 dried apricots, 2 or 3 brazil nuts, 50g whey, multivit, glucosamine.
9.30a.m Post workout shake of 35g whey, 1 apple.
11.00a.m 40g wholemeal pasta, 1 can tuna with low fat salad cream, almonds.
1.30p.m 150g turkey breast, 2 small slices wholemeal bread, 8 or 9 almonds.
4.00pm 50g whey, banana.
6.30pm 1 jacket potato, 150g chicken, a little broccoli & mushrooms.
10.30pm 11.30pm 150g chicken, 1 boiled egg, tablespoon Udos oil (omega fats).
I train Mon/wed/fri and have just started running once or twice per week. I also have a brisk walk for an hour (bloody dog!) during the week if I am not running.
Weekends I tend to just try to relax and Sunday as a cheat day.
Another thing that may be of use is I have a thyroid condition which I have had since 15 or 16 and take 200mcg thyroxine/day.
Can someone tell me if my diet is o.k or needs changing?
Cheers.
