Realistic Goals? Beginner

[JOKER47]

Re: Re: Realistic Goals? Beginner

Keep a positive attitude. . with determination your gains will come with patience.

This is essential. It's the reason I quit so many times when I was younger. Sometimes, gains will come in spurts. The other times, you might feel like you are getting no where. But don't quit! Constantly re-evaluate your training, diet, and intensity. A 5lbs increase in a lift is still an increase.

Well, most days, i work from 4-8 so that's the earliest i can lift..

Iv'e heard people say you gotta wait an hour after your preworkout meal before you lift.....

So maybe wake up around 1 AM and have a shake?

On workout days, i should eat more than non-wo days right?

ON Workout days, i'll be doing this..

7:00 - 5 egg whites, oatmeal, a few glasses of milk

10:50 - Homemade protein bar (Maybe 2)

12:30 - schoolfood-chicken nuggets
2:30 - Homemade protein bar (Maybe 2)

3:45 - chicken breast, brown rice--cup, brocolli

6:00 - homemade protein bar

8:15 - chicken breast, brocolli
9:15 - WO
10:15 - whey with grape juice (OR would milk be better this late?)
Hopefully sleep by 11:00

I might be able to get everything pushed back an hour, WO @ 8:15, sleep @ 10ish etc if i work 4-7.
Should i basically eat as much as possible? Not worry about protein, and carbs? Just not eat pizza and non-healthy stuff for the most part?

On weekends, i'll work 12:00PM-6:00pm or something like that usually so probably

8:00 - 5 egg whites, cup oatmeal, few glasses of milk

10:00 - cup of oatmeal, whey with milk

11:30 - chicken breast, cup of rice, milk

3:30 - Homemade protein bar

6:15 - chicken breast, brown rice, brocolli

8:15 - whey with milk

10:15 - whey with milk

What things should i change? More wholefood on the weekend? What should i eat in place? No carbs late? When i bulk, can i drink too much milk or just drink as much as i want? How much water each day?

Thanks

maybe toss in a rest day inbetween all the workout days, instead of having them all back to back. depends on your personal schedule though. i think milk is fine sinc your aiming to get to about 200 from 170 or so. just monitor youself with before pics or in the mirror. or gauge your fat by something. the more wholefood the better. see if you can get some groundbeef or something, chicken is low in cals, im trying to get more beef to up cal intake. if your low in pro, 1-2 cans tuna, or cottage cheese, not too filling gets the job done. good meal i like is 6 oz ground beef with 1 cup cottage cheese 2 glasses of milk. water drink drink drink. people say aim to shoot for 1-2 gals a day. im drinking abotu 3/4 of one now, be hitting 1 gal mark next week i think.
