Bretmj1 said:I'm interested in knowing what your goals are as far as diet. You post that you want to hit 170 by christmas but do you have any plans on a specific gain in weight monthly or will you just be continuing eating whatever/whenever you want? The 5x5 workout, to me, seemed to work much more efficiently when I focused on diet as well!
when i started this program i really did not want to focus on diet too much, as in my previous experience it burnt me out pretty quickly although i trieed to stay away from junk foods. as time has progressed with my lifts i have made it a point to intake more calories, but am still not keeping track per say.
i have a good idea of what im consuming and how many calories are in it and yes i do still read nutrition facts. an average day for me looks a little like this:
morning:
bowl of unhealthy cereal w/protien shake & maybe some kind of fruit
lift:
about 4- 160z bottles of water & half an energy drink
post lift:
protien shake (2 scoops )w/ bannana blend
1 daily vit
2 osteo bi flex pills
1 fish oil tab
2 bcaa pills
lunch: recently has been steak or 8oz chic w/2.5 serv brown rice
on way to work : pb&j sand. protien shake
1st at work: chic or turkey sand. w/ cheese on whole wheat
2nd at work : weight gainer shake w/ yoplait berry yogurt (710 cals)
3rd at work : pb&j sand and sometimes cottage chz w/pineapple
after work (midnight): 2 bcaa pills, 1 fish oil, and i really need to be eating more cottage chz here but am usually to tired and/or lazy
all the while i also drink about 4-5 16oz bottles of water
i know its not the best but i really get tired off keeping track. now i gotta go make this stuff and gett to work in 10min.
EDIT: i was in a big hurry yesterday so i will detail a few things about my diet.
--all my sandwiches are made with whole wheat bread
--weight gainer shakes are made with 1% milk
--protien shakes are made with water
--i am very adicted to pb&j it just always seems to hit the spot while at work(pb is not natural)
