The diet; opinions welcome

[cure]

what would you suggest pre work out instead of the eggs/english muffin deal?

what carbs can i add to the day meals? carbs i have now are usually two pieces of flaxseed bread and over a cup of whole grain rice. post work out i always have rice and/or potatoes with the meal.

i guess i need help on the carb situation.

thanks for the help

no problem

It really depends on when your pre-workout meal is. If it's an hour before your workout and since you can't really go for a protein shake then i would go with the egg whites, since they are light, (don't be afraid to throw in a yolk) but try to get at least 30-40 grams of protein which would mean 1 whole egg (6 grams protein) and at least another 8-10 egg whites (3g x 10whites = 30grams protein). Add a half cup of dry oatmeal (40 grams carbs) and you're good.

I would re-organize your diet like this

Meal 1 6:30am
8 Egg whites 1 whole
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 banana

Meal 2 9:30am
can of tuna
1/2 cup of rice
light salad dressing, tomatoes, cucumber, mix everything to make a salad

Meal 3 11:30am
8 oz chicken or turkey
1/2 cup whole grain
1/2 cup veggies

Meal 4 2:30pm
can of tuna
1/2 cup of rice
light salad dressing, tomatoes, cucumber, mix everything to make a salad

Meal 5 4:30 (pre-work out)
8 Egg whites 1 whole
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 apple

Meal 6 7:00 (post work out)
8-10oz chicken or turkey
1 cup rice or 1 large sweet potatoes (up carbs for this meal)
½ cup veggies
Small salad

Meal 7 9:00 (before bed)
8 eggwhites
scoop of all natural peanut butter or handful of almonds

don't forget to get some good fibrous veggies in there (rapini, spinach, broccoli)

I find carbs bloat me more then the excess protein does. It's difficult for you since you can't take in shakes or cottage cheese which is a great alternative.

Yeah thats rough with out being lactose and not wanting or able to utalize shakes!

Every 2 hours you should be good. You can get feeling full is you try to cram the meals in there cause you forgot to slam one and it's not an hour late and your almost time till your next meal. Just try to keep in every 2 hours that might help The carbs will bloat you for sure check into waxy maize with water

you can also try Cytosport Complete Whey which lists low amounts of lactose and it tastes great. http://www.cytosport.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=19

it is very very aggravating. i use to have a rock solid stomach that never got upset, for the past 9years i've been troubled with stomach issues. a lot of the foods i love, i just can't eat anymore.

I have a problem with lactose as well. Try Isopure, or Dymatize makes a whey that is lactose free as well. BSN syntha-6 is a blend and I dont have any problem with that, but its not the best option post workout. But in a way, this could be better. Its best to get all of your food from whole foods and not shakes, and as hard as that is, in the long run you may be the better for it. Check out Ezekiel bread for an alternative carb source. It is very quick and easy, great with eggs, and it has a great profile and is a more complet protein then regular wheat bread.
