8:00- 6 egg whites, cup of oatmeal with whey mixed in

11:00- met-rx shake with a tablespoon of flax oil

2:00- chicken, rice, vegetables, slice of whole wheat

5:00- meal replacement

8:00- post workout, nlarge serving with tablespoon flax

10:30- 6 egg whites, protein shake and piece of whole wheat.

let me know what you guys think i should need more/less of if anything. thanks!

You need to include your goals...

 

[Mr.X]

Diet looks good. But, what are your goals.

One suggestion: Don't take Flaxseed oil in the post workout with your protein, because after the workout you are trying to get protein digested quickly, in order to "build muscle". But, at the same time, Flaxseed oil will slow down the digestion of the protein you are consuming, so try moving the tbsp. of flaxseed to your last meal.

thanks mr x, that makes alot of sence right now i am just trying to get down a solid diet because starting in 2 weeks i will be on a winny/anavar cycle where i would love to add around 10-15 pounds of solid muscle. so do you guys think this diets the way to go? thanks!

skip the whole wheat and oatmeal

I got to be honest, I don't like your diet very much. On gear, you need 1.75-2g of protein per lb of bodyweight a day.

I really don't see how it all adds up to 3000 kcals. Too many shakes (MRP's) will make you fat. You need to be more specific in the nutritional breakdown of your shakes and meals.

Btw, I would eat the 10:30 meal at 9:30 and have some cottage cheese at 10:30.

You may want to try cartoons of liquid egg whites. Each one has 8X2 egg whites and is usually cheaper than buying whole eggs. They are easier to eat and you would add 4 egg whites to your meals daily.

bro #1- it says nothing about him using gear
#2- don't comment on what he's doing until he leaves his goals.

This ain't a flame, but u dont know what he's trying to do simply because he didn't tell you.
For example, maybe he wants to put on fat. I know I do. Fat helps in your lifts, maybe not as much as muscle but it DOES help. He's taking NLarge MRP's, therefore he's trying to bulk. So I'm sure he expects the fat anyway.

First off read the post above. Thank you Mr DriveXC.

Next, his goal is to add lean muscle mass with as little fat as possible. That's his goal.

I think you are the only person on the board, possibly in the world ( with Sumo wrestlers being the exception) that WANTS to increase fat mass.

Next time, before posting stupid useless things, make sure you read the entire thread. Twice in your case.

See, the problem with most people when it comes to bodybuilding is that they are scared of fat when trying to progress.. it may sound strange, but i believe fat is essential to get anywhere in bodybuilding. Its the easiest way to come across strength, therefore adding muscle easier. Im not saying you should blow up like a balloon. But if you are trying to bulk up during the winter, I hope u dont believe it will be all muscle.. cuz then u just prove urself to be a total ignorant asshole. Therefore, expect to put on fat. Work on muscle definition LATER. And if you don't believe this theory, go ask Lee Priest who competes at about 225, yet is 285-290 in the off season.

 

[BigAndy69]

Fat is not essential to strength gains: it is a by-product of trying to add lean muscle mass. Your goal should be to add muscle not fat, Fat just comes with the package. Fat gives you a false impression of strength by cushioning your joints and allowing you to lift more weight. Bona fide strength gains are achieved by an increase of muscle mass not fat mass.

Lee Priest doesn't need to go up to 290lbs, he does this because he enjoys eating fast-food and other junk.

I don't know about that, have u heard about his heart conditions? He's dying partly because of how much fat his body is holding in the off season, and his heart can't handle it. I don't know if "liking food" is a good enough excuse for almost killing yourself off, but i sure know preparing for the Big O is... well in his case, anyway

I would move your 2:00 meal of chicken/rice/vege's to your last meal of the night. The chicken will linger in your gut for hours to be digested, and if it is still present by the time you have your postworkout meal, this in return will affect the digestion rate benefits of the postworkout meals. Find a different meal for your 2:00 meal even if it is another met-rx/flax meal. Maybe some oatmeal made with milk and whey protein could work. You could even have some kind of legume meal.

I agree with MR. X, cut out the flax in the postworkout meal.
