Hello again, for those who read my new training routine you will see I promised a diet outline and I will detail that here.
First off, my basal metabolic rate is 3325 calories. This diet is pretty loose and forgiving, but I will follow it religiously. I have had some help with it, mainly reviews and got the 'all clear'. No matter how much you think you know, its always good to have a few people look over it.......
The diet will differ (adding/removing food choices) depending on the type of training Im doing that day or if Im even training that day. Obviously I wont be eating whole foods before my cardio day, but I will be eating whole foods on my training days.
Here goes:
Breakfast:
6 eggs whites (8 egg beaters on days I get called into work early)
1/2 protein shake (75% whey/casein)
1 cup rolled oats (cooked)
1 table spoon fish oil
2 green tea caps
1 multi
*On cardio days, this will be 2 scoops Isopure in water)
**Somedays I will add some lean ham or turkey in because I get burnt out on eggs.
Pre workout-
1 scoop of whey, 1 scoop BCAAs, 1/3 cup oats in water
**Workout** (usually about 9am)
Post workout-
44g of whey protein (SportLab or Pro Rated), 1/2 cup oats, & 1 scoop vitamin C powder.
Lunch- 2 grilled chicken breasts, 1 bowl fresh vegetables, 1 cheese stick
Lunch #2- 1 can of tuna, yams (sometimes brown rice), 1 cup unsalted, uncoated nuts, 1 table spoon fish oil, 2 green tea caps
Snack- Skinless chicken nuggets, cottage cheese, diet Code Red
Dinner- Salmon or Herring (some type of fish), 1 cup fresh vegetables (broccoli most likely), 4 egg whites.
Before bed-
12oz water, 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, flax oil.
**Im sure Ill snack on some natural peanut butter, diet Vanilla Coke, sugar free jello and fat free/sugar free pudding on somedays. I also will be using this meal replacement shake on somedays to meet my required caloric intake:
15oz water
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (3 carbs per scoop)
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 table spoons flax or fish oil
I normally avoid mixing carbs and fats in the same meal, but Ive decided to allow it since I am trying to lean bulk and add 10lbs. This will all equal (with the addition or substraction of a few things) to 200-300 calories over my BMR (depending on the day). This is a bit sloppy for me, but I promise to stick to it. I normally weigh my food and measure it out carefully, but I think I can let that slip for 6 weeks.
My goal: 10 lean lbs in 6 weeks, without compromising a significant gain in bodyfat. Thanks to all who have reviewed this for me and any further review is appreciated.
