Eat Well. Stay Lean. Feel Great.

[HANSEL]

thanks so much!

hansel I have been making your "french toast" and its great!!! plus it doesnt smell up the kitchen as bad as a full omelet does (especially important if you dont want to have angry co-workers from the egg smell)

one question - why a green apple? are those better than red?

thanks!!!

Your quite welcome, Im glad to see others liked that recipe as much as I do! They are quite tasty and nutricious I must say. Yes, Egg whites in the mic smell the kitchen up bad, lol, I am always hearing it from my roomates about this.

As for Green Apples, They are supposed to have less sugars. I will eat a small Gala or something as well, but green apples or optimal I guess. I recommend green so that the carbs wouldnt exceed like 25gr carbs. I like to buy the really small Galas or Fujis if I can.

Why is the ratio of carbs higher then the fat?

Just a question my husband had...

 

[HANSEL]

They are equal, the ratio is 50/25/25 Pro Carb Fat. If you tweak those ratios as some find it hard to get that much protein, up the fats and not the carbs.

nuts = salted peanuts?

I'm weighing 190lbs, and I think it would be best for me to do 50/30/30... I can't figure out how to calculate what I need to eat...Hope I wasn't the only person that couldn't do this hehe. I tried over and over Hansel. Sorry.


8am - Two eggs, Cup of Skim Milk, Little bit of Smart Start Ceral

11am - Protein Bar, Salted peanuts ( if you say its ok ), Kool-aid with creatine

2pm - Tuna fish with pita or chicken, mayo, Water, and something else...idea?

5pm - Post work-out shake. Protein and dextrose with a apple on the side

7pm - Steak or Chicken or Tuna, with a salad or baked potato

9pm - Protein shake OR peanut butter and salted peanut sandwich


Thanks for your diet plan. I'm gonna give it a try. I need to eat healthy. Thanks for taking the time to give me some ideas!'

One more thing, as long as I keep up with what I eat ( 50p/30c/30f ), it doesn't matter what I eat?? Thanks

 

[HANSEL]

1 nuts = salted peanuts?

2 I can handle the 8am. How about bacon or whey protein besides oats?

3 besides just eating chesse(I dont think I can do that), what else could i put there?



4 I work out around this..How about I have the skim Milk and drink my protein and dextrose after my work-out



5 I could eat some salted peanuts...


6 One more thing, as long as I keep up with what I eat ( 50p/25c/25f ), it doesn't matter what I eat?? Thanks

1. I would recommend unsalted nuts, but salted is OK.

2. Bacon/Whey is no substitute for a good complex carb, Try having Oats with whey mixed in or Eggs and 2 slices of whole grain bread. (1 slice if you use Jam) Or try FiberOne cereal with Whey/water mixed in.

3. Have a Protein shake and an apple, or Apple and beef Jerky, or have another tuna sandwhich if you want.

4. Sounds good to me

5. Yes, have some peanuts, but you need to get some protein in here. If you dont want to do nuts and a whole food source, get some natural nut butter and add a tbs of that into a protein shake for yourself.

Get some SF Jello Gelatin and Puddings to have, diet soda, crystal light. If you feel like eating junkfood, eat a couple of apples or pears, they are low cal, filling, and I find them to be enjoyable. There are tons of recipes out there that are low carb/no sugar that taste good. I treat myself to Cottage cheese I sweeten with artificial sweetener, cinnamon, and Almond butter. I blend that up with a hand blender like a pudding. SF Pistachio Jello pudding mixed with a thick mixing powder like MetRx Pro Plus and water makes a nice fortified pudding.

6. At your age you dont need to pay so much attention to ratios as you do to just eating clean. Eat a couple cheat meals per week, thats fine. Have pizza with your buddys one night and a healthy dinner with the fam on Sunday.
You may be succesful eating a bag of skittles, Peanut MM's, and Protein shakes all day but you should try to start healthy eating habits now, its not as bad as it sounds. You will look and feel better if you eat good food. I give my car high octane fuel (clean) and it rewards me by running fast and smooth, when I am in a small town and have to give it shitty low octane fuel, I can feel and hear the difference.

Props to HANSEL! This thread alone has a ton of great info. Thanks! I learned a lot from just this thread.

This diet seems to be exactly what I need. I tried the CKD for 4 weeks, but it was just too hard. Anyways, can someone critique my diet plan? Stats are 5'8" 170lbs, 15bf. 18yrsold

Meal 1: 4 egg whites, oatmeal with 25g whey, a small cafeteria carton of milk and maybe 4oz. OJ. Or, is it alright to substitute the oatmeal for a peanut butter sandwich on wheat bread once in a while? I get sick of oatmeal easily.

Meal 2: 1 chicken breast with olive oil, and a small apple

Meal 3: Lean meat sandwich, small serving of potatoes, and a small serving of grapes

Meal 4: Some roast turkey or chicken, mixed veggies, small serving of potatoes

Meal 5: Canned chicken

Meal 6: 4 egg whites, almonds

I supplement R-ALA with the carb meals and I also like to have some green tea with a little bit of whipped cream on top or some Rice Dream in the evening. I know green tea is supposed to be pretty good stuff, but anyone know about Rice Dream? It's supposedly made entirely from brown rice, so I suppose it shouldn't be too bad.

First thing you want to do is figure to days macronutrient totals and total calories. Get me those and I can help you restructure your diet a little bit to better meet those needs. Your diet looks pretty good right now

You are shooting for:
250grams Protein
125grams Carb
50grams Fat

Thats 1950 cals. But at you age and depending on your activity level, you may require more even if your cutting.

Thanks for the link Hansel, guess I'll do my research and give you some more thorough information. I swear, some of these guys on the board can be making some good money if they charged for the advice they give.
