Foods To Eat

Hmmm... actually probably meant more for the diet board but I already started typing so =P

Alright now, I know I have to try and bulk up some now, and need to eat. Just so I know what to force my parents to buy (or steal from them and buy myself), please help me out. So far I figure I'll buy some:

Tombstone Pizza
Bagel Bites
Hot Pockets
Hamburger Helper
Lipton Rice (Teriyaki, Cajun YUMM!!)
Progresso Soup
Pop-Tarts (as breakfast with cereal or something... or alone)
OJ
1-2% Lowfat Milk
Peanut Butter n Jelly

=D Anything else!?
 
That is a shitty ass diet my friend, the only thing you will get on that is fat. Eat cleaner foods, 50 protein 40 carbs 10 fat. bodyweightx20.

Btw this is cobin, my other account got messed up.
 
Steak is expensive... no grill for burgers, spaghetti is okay, cheese is descent, eggs taste bad, french bread... as in pizza? THIS I CAN DO! ^^
 
Bfold is 10 times the size of you, he can eat whatever the hell he wants without getting fat aslong as he stays active. If you weighed 300 pds I'd say go eat your face off, but you don't. You need a good amount of protein in your diet, about 300 grams or more for you I would say. Everyone on these boards say eat eat eat and eat some more. It is true, you need to EAT more then matience calories but you don't need to eat like an obese person. I don't see how lifting weights and eating like an obese person will not make you fat, yes some of the mass you add will be muscle but you will still get fat.


Eating a clean diet, you will still get alittle fat but you won't end up 30 percent body fat and 100pds overweight.
 
So what else can you recommend to eat?

I could probably eat tuna alot still, just need to eat it with bread for added calories, and some other stuff. I hate when peopel say to break it up like 50/40/10 or whatever, 'cuz it's too annoying to keep track and divide it up into percentages.

It may be annoying but you will gain quality muscle and keep the fat less, honestly do you think eating cake, cookies and icecream 6 times a day will get the same results as eating steak,chicken,tuna rice,patsa,cheese and good foods 6 times a day? Goto the diet board and read Mr.x's article.
 
Some of the food you have in there is ok, I am just saying don't eat all this bad shit with no protein and all carbs, its best to be broken up, you can still eat that once a day or so but not for all the meals. The pop tarts hamburger helper the milk all thats fine, pizza is a good bulking food too lots of cals in every slice.


get a protein powder and drink a few of those a day and eat what you want, its all in how you wanna eat. After a week or two of eating like that I can almost guarntee you will feel like shit and feel fat and bloated all the time.
 
Yah I mean I figure some days cereal, others poptarts with milk and OJ,lunch would be tuna at school or on the weekends either tuna or roastbeef and melted cheddar with gravy (fuckin MMMMM i'm hungry now ^^)

dinner probably lipton rice with progresso soup, or soup and either bagel bites, hot pockets, or tombstone...

tombstone would be like once a week, the main things i would have are poptarts daily cuz they're quick and i gotta rush in the morning

lucnh always tuna or the roastbeef sandwich

dinner iw anna try to always have rice, soup, or tuna or a mix...
 
If you can't write up a specific diet, then just do this, at every meal eat something with a good amount of protein in it (20-30g+) and something with a good amount of carbs (30-50g+).


You will get better results if you eat 3000 Cals everyday (example) then 5000 one day 2000 the next day 4000 the day after etc and so forth
 
Yah, I know. Well, 20-30 protein... let's see poptarts have like 4 I think, haha. 8 for a glass of milk... I have maybe 2 of those though so that's 20gs...

Lunch, I have no idea how much protein is in school tuna and bread but it's gotta be near regular tuna and stuff (unless it's artificial... which it probably is -_-) so I'll just figure it's like... 40 cuz bread's alot too

Dinner... I have to check how much rice and progresso can be. Tuna for dinner can always give me the extra protein though.

Thing is man, I can't stomach 3000 calories. I eat still like 2200 a day and that's all I can fit. I'm not hungry other than that.
 
beans. get used to eggs, they're great. drink a lot of water every day too. i drink a gallon every day, turns out to be about 16 glasses for me. dont forget potatoes

you dont need a grill for hamburgers. i hope you have a stove
 
I cant cook either -_- Shit... alright yes I do have a stove, surprisingly =P

Eggs don't seem that great, only 6-8 grams of protein per egg... that's good? 70-80 calories I think too and they don't taste very good. Beans are actually pretty good with kraft macaroni and cheese and tuna... mmm that's a good meal

Water i drink ALL THE TIME man like 2-3 liters a day.

Make a protein shake with natty pb honey, a banana 16oz milk and whatever else you want, I bet you could get 900-1000 cals in it and it will be easier to drink then eat all that food.
 
Here is something realistic: This is something that I follow:

Meal 1

4 whole eggs
1 cup of oatmeal w/ raisins
1 banana
1 pack of multi-mineral vitamins

Meal 2

1 cup of yogurt
1 piece of fruit
1 nutri-grain bar or protein bar

Meal 3

2 Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches (with lettuce and tomato)
1 tossed salad
1/2 cup cottage cheese

Meal 4

Protein Shake
1/2 cup pasta

Meal 5

1/2 of Lean Ground Beef (on George Foreman Grill)
2 Baked Potatoes
1 cup of V8 Juice

Meal 6

Ironhead Pudding
Includes (white rice, cottage cheese, vanilla yogurt, mixed fruit, grapenuts, and coconut)

Note** All of this food is easy to prepare. When I am on the road, this plan will change. My diet plan is flexible. The key is to keep it simple and eat a variety of foods.
 
i try to count protein thats only in main things like milk and eggs and main courses, anything with meat in it. i dont know how well the protein in other foods work, so i just make sure i get enough.

if i eat less than about 4000 cals a day, i become very bitchy and irritable. i always get sick if i go 2 or more days without enough food.

i cut out my occasional bowl of ice cream and cookies, etc about a week ago.

this is what i had so far today:

meal 1: 3 eggs, 2 servings of bacon, 1 glass of milk, 4 pieces of toast. 2 bites of coffee cake

meal 2: 1 big hamburger, 1 pot pie, 1 glass milk

meal 3: 2 brats w/ 2 pieces bread, cheese

meal 4: 1 pot pie, 1 glass milk, 1 hunk of cheese

meal 5: 1 hamburger, cheese, 1 glass milk, 1 cup oatmeal

i usually get about 6 meals a day like this. i'll add today all up at the end and see what it comes out to, because i'm curious

Natty? Wait, ya' mean nutty pb? Bananas... have alot of protein? Milk I can do, did ou mean honey seperately... and if so, why?

Mix it all in the shake, and natty is natural peanut butter only the best. No hydronated oils,
 
What's ironhead pudding? I can buy it?

What brand or whatever of multi-mineral vitamins? Should I have that instead of OJ? Wouldn't OJ or milk be better for the extra cals anyway?

What do ya put in the salad?

Cottage cheese... ew... why is that stuff supposed to be so good to eat? What's it got in it per serving?
 
some guy made 'pancakes' with cottage cheese, oatmeal, fruit, and brown sugar. everybody else treid it and liked it. i like the idea, something to eat at school so i dont go 5 hours without eating
 
Yeah man, school fucks us all don't it? With our training, I mean.

So far I wrote this as a grocery list... anything else I should get? Waffles/Pancakes sounds good. Should I eat them for breakfast sometimes, or is that not good?

And eggs... do yuo get em hard-boiled or scrambled? If scrambled, I'm addin' fuckin' ketchup! =D

Relish
Cottage Cheese
Yogurt
Pop Tarts (Strawberry)
Bread
Tuna
Cheese
Turkey
Lettuce
Tomato
Oatmeal
Bananas
Total Raisin Bran
Milk
OJ
V8
Lipton Rice
 
i wouldnt eat yogurt too often, has a lot of sugar

and yes, school sucks
 
also, you need a bit of red meat. cant go wrong with a bit of beef every day. lots of protein and great amino acid profile
 
jeremys said:

Agreed, red meat is best, I get publix meat and make some good ass hamburgers.
 
So what would I do? Buy ground beef, slap some onto a pan and cook it into a burger, buy some buns and ketchup and eat that with some lettuce and tomato?

What should my snacks consist of though that's a big problem for me (meals 2, 4, & 5)

Meal 1
Total Cereal (replaces multivitamins too)
Orange Juice
Banana

Meal 2
A piece of fruit?

Meal 3
Tuna with lettuce on poppie seed roll or white bread
or
turkey and cheese wit lettuce n tomato on white bread (sounds good, thanks louden)

Meal 4
Fruit again? Yogurt here? I dunno... snacks snacks snacks...

Meal 5
Again, what to put here...

Meal 6
I'd say either rice, progresso soup, tombstone (once a week), tuna sandwich from subway, or burgers if I learn to cook...
 
you might need some more protein than that. dont know what it works out to. why pizza only once a week? hell, i eat it almost every day. a bit of protein.

burgers are easy. roll some burger into a ball, flatten it out. put some butter in the pan, oil the pan up good. slap the fricker on there on medium to high heat and flip every time it starts spitting grease. when it looks done, eat it. lol
 
Alright well, still...

Pizza cuz it's alot of fat and I'm not lookin' to get anywhere as near as big as you man (not meant in a bad way either ^^)

I just wanna add some size to my body, with little fat for now... if I can avoid it that is. Still, snacks... What should I do about those?
 
haha. gotcha.

for snacks, i dunno. as soon as my gainer comes in i will be mixing up a shake or 2 on training days(i lift at school now) and keeping it in my locker. i will probably run out of gainer pretty quick though. i only have a 7 lb bucket coming in
 
So long as I eat healthy and get at least the daily recommended calories I don't really mind. I mean I'm still gonna get size and strength regardless. You can't say if I ate even 100 calories UNDER the maintenance I would gain absolutely no size. That would mean the muscles aren't being targeted at ALL from training, heh.

I just wouldn't get the optimal size. Hmm... so let me think now... Re-writing my grocery list a bit. ^^

But you won't get asmuch size and strength, bulking you will add as much as you possibly can at one time.
 
I know, but details details gentlemen. ^^ Haha but honestly like I'll TRY to add more but I'm saying if I can't stomach it or I just don't wanna, then fuck it. I'll still feel good about my gains I'm sure. ^^

So... what is cottage cheese like? Isn't it just like creamcheese or something? Do people just eat it alone? I know it's good for protein so I know i need to eat that.
 
you've never had cottage cheese?!?!? wow...

anyways, it's little balls of cheese in this white stuff. tastes like ass at first, so itd probably be best to mix it with something
 
Hmm, like salad? Cuz I think I have a descnet meal plan here for now. The drinks aren't always included but it's either V8, OJ, Milk, or water. A, B, or C means that I'll alter it depending on what I feel like or what's available:

Meal 1
Total Raisin Bran
Milk
OJ
Banana

Meal 2
Yogurt
Piece of fruit

Meal 3
A.Turkey & cheese w/lettuce & tomato

Meal 4
Cottage Cheese
Salad

Meal 5
A. Protein Shake
B. Tuna Sandwich
C. Peanut Butter & Jelly

Meal 6
A. Rice & Progresso
B. Tuna Sandwich (Subway)
C. Tombstone

Breakfast I might add some variety too like some days oatmeal, others waffles n pancakes. It all depends.
 
IMO, meals 5 and 6 have too much protein. try to have less than 40g per meal. you have the right amount of food, just put some more in the earlier meals so it balances out
 
Well, a tuna sandwich is gonna have at least 38-40 grams either way. Full can is 32 grams, 8 grams or so for a slice of bread... wait even more then I forgot I use TWO slices :FRlol:

Uhm, so then what should I do to have more earlier in the day? I don't really know what to do there... Besides ECH eggs... Waffles and pancakes don't have alot. Snacks uhm... well... hmm....

Nutrigrain bars I guess? Or some sort of protein bar... but those are expensive I'm trying to find stuff that's just... regular food.
 
well, i suppose if you're putting a FULL can in your sandwiches, thats enough. lol. and each slice of bread has 8g protein? i get wonderbread, 1g per slice, maybe

im logging off to take a walk. i'll think of more foods.
 
What kind of bread are you eating? Normal white/wheat bread has 3-4 grams a slice. I know a bread that has 27 grams a pita ( its pita bread )
 
27!? FUCK MAN! THAT'S GODLY! IT'S LIKE AMBROSIA! ^^

I have some like rye or whole wheat with 8 grams. Sometimes I only have regular white though.

I can't think of anything else besides protein or nutri bars for snacks man. I think protein later in the day is a lil more important anyway, cuz I workout then ^^
 
Meal Scheme, here we go


Meal 1
A. Total, Banana, milk
B. Oatmeal, Banana, OJ
C. Waffles, Banana, milk

Meal 2
Yogurt, piece of fruit, water

Meal 3
Turkey & cheese w/lettuce & tomato, water

Meal 4
Cottage Cheese, salad, Pop tarts, milk

Meal 5
A. Protein Shake
B. Tuna Sandwich, relish, water
C. Peanut Butter & Jelly, milk

Meal 6
A. Rice & Progresso,water
B. Tuna Sandwich (Subway), water
C. Tombstone, water
 
I thought that the first list was a pretty good one...but you need to add variety in there too.

Tuna
Chicken
Pasta

And LOTS of all of them. A lot of ice cream before bed too!!!

There is nothing wrong with clean foods...but if you are bulking then you need to eat the clean foods AND the fatty ones. Nothing wrong with 5 meals of clean foods, one prot shake, and two FATTY meals...at all...

B True
 
just added up the food i've eaten today so far

fat: 212
carbs: 350
pro: 200

(give or take)

so that's about 4110 cals so far. i need a bit more protein and maybe a few more carbs.

this(so far) works out to be 20% protein, 50% fat, 30% carbs
no wonder i'm fat! it's definately because of the little bit more i need in carbs and the lot less i need of fat(probably dairy products or pot pies)

and this was actually a good day, where i got a lot of food

The best way I found to eat cottage cheese is to just dump a few servings into a bowl and pour OJ all over it... Tastes pretty damn good like that.......
 
Contrary to what people think, carbohydrates are actually more important than protein in a training diet plan. For one, the body can only digest so much protein (25-30 grams per meal). And second, carbohydrates are valuable sources of energy, which is required in brutalizing workouts. Fats provide lubrication to the joints, which is nice when lifting heavy weights.
 
I posted up my shopping list on the muscle food board, but i thought it might give you some ideas Legion.

Here is a typical grocery shopping list of mine

10 cans of tuna 5 bucks
2 lbs of Oatmeal 1.00
Gallon of 1% fat milk 2.00
32 oz of fat free cottage cheese 3.00
Loaf of 100% whole wheat bread 1.00
5lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts 10.00
5 dozen eggs 4.00
cocoa pebbles 2.00
Jar of natural PB 2.00
Bag of Broccolli 4.00
Carrots, Tomotoes, onions, bell peppers and (other misc veggies) 3.00
1 lb of Roast beef 4.00

For a grand total of about 40 bucks.
 
I use the cocoa pebbles as my post workout carbs. I figure if I'm supposed to eat alot of carbs after my workout, I might as well choose something I really like.
 
Yes, this is true.

I just finished my workout like ten minutes ago actually. Check my post, I decided to adapt the 5x5 routine. I feel it in my chest already, bumping myself up like 30 lbs to what I normally use. Whoo!
 
Bodybuilding food isn't about what tastes good, but what works.

Try something like this, just suck it up and eat it (substitute A,B, or C)

Meal 1:
A. 4 egg whites, bacon, glass of milk, PB&J sandwhich
B. Oat meal w/ protein powder mixed in, honey, milk

Meal 2:
Protein shake, couple slices of turkey breast

Meal 3:
Chicken breast, rice, veggies, milk

Meal 4 (post workout):
Whey protein shake

Meal 5:
A. Steak and potatoes/rice, veggies
B. Ground beef burger on 100% whole wheat bread, slice of cheese, lettuce and tomato
C. Salmon with rice, veggies

Meal 6:
A. Protein shake (cassein)


If you really wanna bulk add another meat/chicken/fish meal in there as meal #7.
