lol mcdonalds..........? you should look into the blue collar diet, your diet scares me

 

[OMEGA]

REPOST Example of the Diet:


Meal 1

3 Whole Eggs, 6 Egg Whites
2 Pieces Whole grain bread.
no fruit or sugars
(it is key to Soft Boil or Sunny Side up your eggs, you want the yolks SOFT to maintain some of the benefits.
Arachidonic Acid and other ingredients in the egg yolk are some of the most PRE and PRO Testosterone nutrients known and WILL amplify your Am Boost of Test that males get)

Meal 2
Basically a Sandwich ( the key of this meal is to Have those COMPLEX carbs as in Wheat Bread, and Leafy Greens and a serving of meat that is double a normal Sandwich, use Roasted meats only, not salty preserve meats)


Meal 3
NO carbs
Only leafy Greens, Tomatoes, and a nice vinaigrette on your salad.
Also in this Meal I will make it very Protein Heavy. So if you typically have ONE chicken breast, Have 2 instead.
There is just something about a huge "pulse" of Solid Protein at the end of the hard day that extremely Anabolic, and I have not found out why yet.
Its also convenient for you since this will be the most difficultly meal to make.
ALSO One Dinner should be Red Meat, the next Fish, and the one after Chicken or some other meat.
So Every third day have a Healthy dose of RED MEAT,ALWAYS
if you don't like fish, then have 2 chicken days and one RED meat day.


2 Liquid Protein meals:
One POST workout
and one before bed of first thing in the AM OR as a snack.

In the Post workout ( literlaly 5-10 minutes POST WORKOUT have a powdered carb Drink, Gatorade , OR juice mixed with Creapure Creatine OR RawMCC Creatine.

Our workouts are hard and you need to re-Glycogenate your Liver and "re-Polyphosphate-ize" your Body ( creatine) which gives your body and brain a quick re-fuel.


last but not least ALWAYS have 1 liter of water 1 hour before a workout, if you have not been doing this you will feel an IMMEDIATE benefit. Most Athletes are chronically dehydrated and don't even know it.

This all you need guys more then enough

Some questions

Pros and cons of my first day's food choices.

Meal 1 (example is whole grain bread and eggs)
I don't think the Egg McMuffin is the villain that the second poster makes it out to be. It's just a plain English Muffin with a slice of ham, an egg, and a slice of low-fat cheese. 12g (5g saturated) fat. 30g carbs. 19g protein, 2g fiber.

However, if it makes sense, I can cut this out and replace it with sunny-side up fried eggs.
1) Keep it or lose it?

Meal 2 (example is a whole grain, high protein sandwich with dark lettuce)
The frozen meal I ate today, at least from my perspective, fits in with this pretty good. 380 cals. 7g (2g saturated) fat, 46g carbs, 18g protein, 4g fiber. The meal is basically crock-potted beef in a low-fat, low-sugar gravy on a bed of carrots, peas and green beans, with a thin layer of mashed potatoes on top.

If this isn't enough fiber, I'd be willing to swap it out for a sandwich.
2) Thoughts?

For the protein-heavy dinner meal.
3) Would it be bad for me to eat lean beef every day?

About the two protein shakes.
4) Is there any disadvantage to me drinking the muscle milk in the afternoon compared to say, before bedtime?

1) Definetly lose the egg mcmuffin... no real nutritional value + preservatives, sodium, grease, and MSG <- will make it hard to kick them

2) I would go with a sandwich here, it is about quality of nutrients that you will not find in frozen meal. Also the mashed potatoes are too starchy.

3) I'll yield to OMEGA on this one

4) If only taking it once daily, I would chose MuscleMilk post workout. Would not use before bed.

First Chest/Tri/Delt workout on May 5

Wow, what a pain in the ass that was! lol

Seriously, I had a girl bench pressing dumbbells next to me, and they weren't much lighter than the ones I was using, and I'm sure I was grunting twice as loud. heh

How long do these workouts take for most of you? Just the weightlifting part of my routine took about an hour, so I was in the gym for about an hour fifteen. Sometimes, I wondered if I was doing the reps too slow, as my two count is probably slower than two seconds.

Diet for May 6

Breakfast:
4 egg whites, 3 whole eggs, 2 whole wheat raisin English Muffins

Snack:
1 whole wheat bagel

Lunch: 2 slices "double fiber" whole grain bread, 4 ounces turkey breast, 1 slice cheddar cheese

Snack: muscle milk shake mixed with water

Dinner: Two 94% lean beef patties (they are really hard to find, BTW), 1 banana, 1 whole wheat bagel

2nd shake before bed: 1 scoop Casein protein (optimum)

At this point, the totals are:
190 carbs, 55.5 fat, 181.6 protein

The goals Optima gave me were:
200 carbs, 50 fat, 200 protein

If I cut down on the carbs I eat for dinner, then my carb count would be reduced to 150 carbs, but that would come very close to the goal. Should I eat more carbs with lunch instead?

Too funny...

The lifting alone takes me anywhere from 40-50 minutes.

I also started off a little too slow on the reps

Good luck

Re: Diet for May 6

You can ADD Milk to the Muscle Milk and PM shake. that will add a good amount and make them taste better too.
