try this rather than going to subway, go to walmart or krogers and buy their roast whole chicken, this only about $4.00, and can satisfy you for 2 entire meals.

Are you looking to cut or bulk.... to me that looks like a bulking diet but you need some touch ups definately.........

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

your name is athlete0815 so can i assume you're an athlete? lol
if so what is your sport? and what are your goals?

8 am - plain oatmeal (2 servings), and one banana
[n]Drop the banana and get some protein in this meal, 5 wgg whites, 2 whole eggs or protein powder[/b]

12 pm - footlong sub from subway roasted chicken breast, and some chicken strips Do you have to eat at subway for this meal?

1 30 (pre workout)- cheese and bacon potatoe mmmm
i prefer to have some oatmeal and a protein shake

3 30 - post workout - protein shake w 2 tablespoons olive oil
- i need some post workout carbs i know (brown rice or something)
Drop the oil and add 50g of dextrose... no not brown rice. You t Fast high glycemic carbs!

4 pm - snack (honey roasted peanuts)
raw almonds or a spoon of all natural pb would be better. Since you've worked out prior to this meal, add some carbs too... maybe a sandwich made with whole wheat or rye bread and some protein too

5 pm - chicken and dumplings
get rid of the dumplings, replace with lots of veggies and a spoon of olive oil

7 pm - 5 or so pieces of turkey on wheat break w/ light mayonaise
if you'tr trying to lose some weight/fat lose the bread now and eat your turkey with salad otherwise replace the bread for yams or sweet potatoes or something

9 pm - protein shake w/ 2 table spoons of olive oil
add some fiber if u can

10 pm - snack (nuts), and whatever else i can shove down before beddo you really need this meal?

I'm curious about my diet too. but does it have to be so diciplinned?(sp) Can you not eat what you enjoy some time in the day?

 

[paul2110]

Yes it does have to be that disciplined.

A lot of people take cheat days where you eat what you want, but you can't afford to do this every day - even one slack meal per day can add that extra fat.

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

keep left
it depends on your goals

My goal as an athlete is to one day go professional and be in the top ten of my classin my country so yeah i am pretty disciplined
but then if you can get away with a little?

I usually don't train on saturdays and usually enjoy one or two treats on this day and maybe an extra one on sunday... sometimes my diet might not be super strict but when it's time to for competition, i'm eating very cleanly
