Triple Threat Protien Shakes...

[Legion Kreinak]

Yeah, I figured as much, but what would you recommend I add to my diet? The calorie thing doesn't bother me, oddly. And I do at least an hour of basketball a day, plus I generally just walk alot. I don't know what else I can really add to those three meals. I hear to have 5-6 meals a day, but that doesn't sound accurate. If I was to eat that many though, what should it consist of?

 

[lemur]

this is what i would add:



Breakfast
------------

Bowl of total cereal (many vits and minerals for nutrition)
serving of 1% milk
serving of OJ (vitamin C and pottassium)
3-4 whole eggs


Snack: Banana + Handful of almonds


Lunch
-------
Can of tuna on whole wheat bread w/melted cheese on it
serving of OJ or milk
if you can, make a turkey/chicken burger or a skinless chicken breast. if not, have some toast and butter.


or

12" tuna sub from subway with lowfat chips
serving of OJ or milk


Snack: protein shake or beef jerky. or just grab a gigantic handful of ham like I do


Dinner
--------
more tuna, milk and OJ usually
skinless chicken breast/turkey/beef/anything
baked potato and/or rice


before bed: a scoop of all natural peanut butter and a big glass of milk.

drink at least a gallon of water, and if you can take in a protein shake after basketball.

Dammit, the problem is we're tight on money so getting alot of that shit is going to be a problem. I can get ham cold cuts from the deli, toast is not a problem, just need more bread for my tuna too, and eggs I have to learn how to make. Parents are home maybe 3 hours a day, so I'm on my own alot of the time.

Protein shakes are not cheap. for what you pay for a months worth You can buy a WHOLE bunch of boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale. look for them in the family pack. There is a lot of cheap protein out there if you look. watch for sales of tuna ect.

protein powder
tablespoon nat pb

mid-morning:
oatmeal
cottage chese

i dont drink shakes right now, im getting married so i cant afford them.

but i question the old 1 or 1.5 grams of bodyweight of protein.

to me, or at least it seems, i can lay of the protein, eat healthy fats, and get not gain fat by eating all the carbs i want.

my diet analagy looks like this.

70% carbs.
20% protein.
10 % fat.

i may be crazy, but less protein and more carbs works better for me.

I would B, but truth is, that's much more than I can stomach. I don't have that big an appetite.

Start eating something every like 2-3 hours. When that's easier, ease it down to every 2 hours. You'll be amazed as to how easy your body adapts to eating so much.

I don't wanna get fat. -_-
