A while back you told me to up my calorie intake, and I have(about 1300-1400 calories from 1000-1200), but I really cannot eat that much meat. It really makes me feel heavy,tired and nauseous. I was a vegetarian about three years ago(from the age of 18-22), and I always felt energetic. My doctor told me that I had to start eating some meat because my reproductive organs were still developing, so I did. A little bit of chicken and some seafood now and then. Now I'm eating alot more protein in meat form but I really don't feel healthy. I want to go back to being a vegetarian but how do I get enough protein. I've seen your meal plan for your cutting cycle, but can you give me an example of what you actually eat. I weigh 120 and am 5ft 2 1/2 inches tall, 95lbs oflbm. I want to get enough protein and iron in my diet. Eggs will still be in my diet. thanks, lala     | ||

How much meat were you eating in one sitting? Your should only be eating very small servings right now. It may take a few months before your body gets used to breaking down the protein. I remember while in Military I did not have my protein drinks for like six months. When I got back home I drank my "normal" amount and it DID NOT stay with me for very long.... ------------------ Lobo | ||

I can give you an "off-the-shelf" vego diet to follow, but I (like WarLobo)am also not clear if the problem you're having is from too much meat, or just too much protein. It also makes a difference to your diet plan if you tolerate dairy products or not. Here is a basic diet plan that I've scaled down to the 1300-1400 calorie range. I've added in cottage cheese, but if you don't want that in your diet, just substitute more soy protein in it's place. It doesn't change the nutrient ratio very much. You can also substitute whey, casein or egg protein if you want, but those reduce the iron some. Meal 1: Meal 2: Meal 3: Meal 4 and 5 (cooked all at once and divided into two servings) � cup zucchini slices for a total of 200 cals/10g P/40g C Grand total for day 1360 cals/165g protein/145g carbs/24g fat As a comparison with the US RDA (NOT that I think anyone should be happy with their recommendations) this day's eating would give you Protein 325%
Broadbeans (fresh) 3 cups 235cals/18g P/40g C Chickpeas 1 cup cooked 270 cals/15g P/45g C Rolled oats 3/4 cup dry 240 cals/10g P/40g C Shredded wheat 50g 180 cals/6g P40g C Just add protein to bring each meal to 35 grams. | ||

Dairy is o.k. Thanks for the meal plan ms. Lately I've been eating less meat and I feel better, more clear headed. I've also been visiting the bathroom more often, like 3 -4 times a day. I guess it's all the fiber in the veggies and cereal. I just found out that my uncle works for a company that produces whey protein and other stuff like that. He's the plant manager, what should I ask him to get me, I get stuff for free. thanks, lala | ||

bump for Extra And for lala, free protein sounds too good to be true. Get whatever you can, it's all good. Whey or whey+soy is good for post workout nutrition, casein or soy (or a mix) is good close to bedtime. Whole whey protein is preferable to hydrolyzed in general. Balanced soy is better than unadulterated soy. Maybe just get whatever tastes the best? |
