imo, that is too few calories, you need more like 1,6-700. also you seem only to be getting one source of fat throught the day (the pb), I would post this in the diet forum if I was you, there are a ton of knowledgablr people there.

I would add another food meal. You aren't getting a lot of calories from food sources. Also, I am a little concerned about the Oatmeal Protein Muffin - sounds kinda processed. Do you make it yourself? What is in it (besides oatmeal and protein lol )?

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Hey Daisy,
I did make the muffins my self.
1 c. oatmeal
2 eggs
2 scopes vanilla protien powder
2 scopes chocolate protien powder
1/2 cups unsweetend apple sauce
4 tbsp natural PB
Makes 8 spray muffin tins with pam
heat oven to 350 bake 20-30 or tell toothpic comes clean
210 cals. 18 pro. 14 carbs

I am changing it a bit tomorrow the shakes don't cut it I don't enjoy them.

Breakfast: Protien muffin
Snack: Celery with natty PB
Lunch: Chicken in ground almond crust green beans and califlower (mashed)
Snack: Turkey breast with a slice of no fat cheese.
Dinner: (post work out) shake with natty PB
Snack: Eggwhites with hot sauce.

Have not figured out the cals etc yet but when I do I will post it.

Protein muffin sounds pretty good... Good idea - did you "invent" the recipe yourself?

Two things I would think about changing - the snacks. First snack, add more protein to it, maybe 3oz chicken/turkey. Second snack, add veggies to it, (maybe brocolli or a salad). JMO.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Yeah I came up it with it on my own.
Maybe a little egg white with my celery and natty PB in the morning.
Afternoon snack more celery cause it is easy.

do you take any sups dayna?
seems i would add 6 caps of omega369 dispersed during the day
and i agree with tuc (whic does not happen often.......j/k tuc), you need to up your fat intake
depending on how much nuts you eat during the day but
suggest adding a tablespoon of udo's choice or flax seed oil to your protien shakes (if you are seeking easy)

contrary to popular belief fats can be good even saturarted fats
recent studies have proven that even coconut oil can be beneficial
virgin coconut oil contains mct's a new type of fat that is used as fuel immediately and helps facilitates ketosis more rapidly

also suggest a green salad sometime during the day to increase the balance of nutrients you are taking in and add an extra teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil after you dress it
also a pre workout meal/shake
but do include some lo GI veggies: broccoli, green beans, spinach, sweet potatoes, jicama, beans, etc.....

for variety on you snacking: raw broccoli is good so is jicama (tastes like waterchestnuts), and hummous or pesto are nice dips and has beneficial fats plus raw garlic for antiviral benes

if you have the time to cook i have many recipes on my muscle food thread

I will add some flax oil to my protien shake at night. Pesto really I can eat that it is so yummy. Normaly I would love a nice salad but I find when the winter hits I need most everything to be warm once and a whille I can eat a salad. So far I have been eating a lot of green beans and celery in between for snacking. I have some time to cook and I love doing it but it is limited. Generally I like to get most everything ready Sunday for Monday-Friday meals. If it is all prepared then I wont stray off course.
