9. Lacking Food Balance in Meals

Imbalance is rampant in this off kilter world. Food consumption is no exception. Balanced eating as defined by some nutritionists is not quite the same as balanced eating as defined by the muscle elite. The optimal feeding, according to the elite, is a skillful blending of lean protein, starchy and fibrous carbohydrates, minus amounts of fat and no sugar. The proportional divisions vary depending upon individual characteristics. Some folks are carb sensitive and need to keep starchy carbs to a minimum, otherwise they blow up like cartoon characters who've swallowed an air hose. Others thrive on a diet heavy on potatoes and rice with no ill effects. How you metabolize food is as individual as your hair color or height. You need to determine how foods affect you. Rule of thumb for proportional balance: 50% calories from carbs, 35% from protein and 15% from fat. This is a good starting point, and careful monitoring once on this 50-35-15 regimen will dictate any necessary adjustments. The goal is building muscle and reducing bodyfat. How do you achieve a real world balance with traveling around with a scale, calorie book, and calculator?

FROM YOUR LOG:

2/1/2005

7:30
2 Whole Eggs, 1/2 Cup Egg Whites, 1 Slice FF Cheese, 2 Fish Oil, Orka, Red Pepper


^^^FAT

10:20 Post-workout
2/3 Cup Oats, 1 Scoop Whey


^^^NO FIBROUS VEGETABLES

1:20
4 oz. Chicken, 1/2 TBSP Olive oil, 1 Fish Oil, Broccoli, Cucumbers


^^^FAT

5:00
~ 3.5 oz. Chicken, 13 Almonds, Lettuce, Celery


^^^FAT

~8:00
1/2 Cup FF Cottage Cheese, 1/2 Scoop Whey, 2 TBSP PB


^^^FAT



so....LET'S RECAP:


50% calories from carbs, 35% from protein and 15% from fat.



IM EATING 40/30/30 ON A DAILY BASIS

"The proportional divisions vary depending upon individual characteristics. Some folks are carb sensitive and need to keep starchy carbs to a minimum"




YOUR SPLIT:


ASU said:
This is what Im looking at for the next 2 weeks:

1300 cals
43.5% protein
13% Carbs
43.5% Fat

* Im only counting the carbs from the oats (post workout)
Veggies, cottage cheese, protein shake carbs not included with my 13% ratio

Every Wednesday Night = last meal will have a Cliff bar or a balance bar




...this is getting pretty sad.......if you spent as much time fine tuning YOUR diet as you do obsessing with mine...you might make better progress.

I can't understand you :(

you post this, but YOU don't even follow this. I don't think you even know what you want. Till you figure that out, I don't think anyone here will even consider your suggestions, let alone your criticism.
 
Your job as a bodybuilder, well my job in that case (that Im working on) is to give your muscles a constant supply of amino acids! To saturate them with protein and keep them that way from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep. Each of your meals should be rich in protein and balanced with carbohydrates and fats.

And by the way.. peanuts is not a good source of protein
