The key to any BB's diet is PROTEIN. look at foods like skinless chicken breast, tuna, natural peanut butter for your quality fats, Steaks are great when trying to put on size also. I drink alot of protein shakes in addition to my 5-6 whole food meals. Though most soups are really high in sodium, I like healthy choice soups. Good amounts of protein low fat. I personally like mixing oatmeal and malt-o-meal with my protein powder also. Fat free yogurt is a good mid day snack. They make Fat free everything now, so if you try hard you can easily create a good diet from your local grociery(sp) store. ------------------ | ||

I agree with Valdez on the split. But about your diet, make up your mind... bulking or toning, if you wanna bulk, take the cardio out, cuz basically you'll be burning the extra calories you're consuming while bulking. Now if you wanna tone, watch the carbs and keep the cardio... ------------------ "how much can you really know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?" Tyler Durden | ||

Six small meals a day works best for a fast metabolic rate. Keep your protein high. Maybe some glutamine also. I always take an MRP about an hour before workouts, 4:15 a.m. Also, one post-workout. It's good to throw in some additional carbs after a workout like a fruit or juice or put the juice right in the MRP. Drink a least a gallon of water a day. Peanut butter is good for holding onto some calories (for bulk), and good fat. Also, flax oil in an MRP is good and has many benefits. Nutrition bars for snacks. All meals should have carbo, protein, and fat. At least two servings of vegetables daily. At least two regular meals with good meats, chicken, turkey, lean steak, tuna etc. Eat complex carbohydrates, (oatmeal, whole grain breads, baked potatoes, steamed brown rice, fruit). Sounds like the training schedule is pretty good with some of the previous modifications mentioned. No shoulders before chest on different days. Chest before shoulders on same day is okay. How long are your cardio sessions? It really depends how much you need to lose. If it's a signficant amount 20 lbs. or more, I would do at least 30 minutes. If you need to lose less than that, cut it down to 20 minutes 3 times weekly, or twice for 45 minutes. If you do too much cardio, you will not be able to hold onto your muscle. Stay focused on your food. Give us some stats, current and goals, and you'll get more help. [This message has been edited by Hot Bod (edited December 19, 2000).] |
