I would drop the cereal w/skim milk for first meal replace it w/egg whites and a yolk or two and a bowl of oatmeal...then add protein shake 2hrs.w/flax oil(for your essential fats)..you dont have any fats in your diet.. post wkt. is a good time to eat that bowl of cereal,banana ... add some brown rice to your chicken breast and veggies...and maybe add a yam w/your dinner..you need complex carbs in your diet for energy.. Try to stick w/tuna, oatmeal, yams, chicken breast, brown rice, veggies, lean red meats, eggwhites (mix w/one yolk), Try to eat at least 5 meals and add maybe 2or 3 protein shakes in there w/some flax.. | ||

Because you sound like you want to ditch some fat, I think that the low carbs you are taking in are a good thing, and I would not add any more. All I would do is shuffle the order of your meals so that your high glycemic skim milk/cereal comes AFTER [within one hour] your workout. For example: meal: [1] 7:30am [2] 10:30am [3] 12:30 workout 3:00 to 4:00 [4] 4:30 (post-workout meal) [5] 6:30 (follow-up to the post-workout meal, so that you don't get a crash in blood sugar and rise in cortisol - have it sooner than 2 hours after the p-w meal if you feel like you're going to crash) [6] 9:30 DAILY TOTAL: All the values are approximate, but this diet should give you enough carbs to sustain workouts without going overboard, enough protein to support recovery, and enough fat so as not to compromise your natural testosterone production. The calories are set pretty low at around 10 x bodyweight, but they're by no means at starvation-levels. Once your fat goes down, you can start adding more to bulk up if that becomes your goal.

quote: WTF!?!?! NO CARBS post-workout, damn you are a newbie brotha. you need AT-LEAST 100 grams of carbs after a hardcore workout, but probably more. always include carbs in each meal, except right before bed. casienate protein with a little flax oil is best. the 1g per lb of bodyweight is enough protein. by not including carbs in most of your meals you will slow your metabolism. ketosis isn't and never was meant to be a method of long term weight reduction. count calories. ------------------ | ||

im gonna get flamed for this one, but a real great newbie book is Body For Life by Bill Phillips. Results are guaranteed...although his company is a ripping off scam. If you really wanna get hardcore look into Arnolds, but only after Bill Phillip's book. You can find it at amazon.com |
