MWF AM/PM, how should I change my diet?

[mport1]

After lots of research and talking to a lot of the people on the HST forum, I have decided to do a MWF AM/PM schedule for HST (which equates to 6x a week full body).

The problem is, I do not know how I should eat on the days when I am working out twice in a day. I will basically be needing 2 pre workout meals and 2 post workout meals. But with those meals, I usually had just taken my supplements (protein, creatine ethyl ester, BCAAs, and dextrose).

How should I allocate these supplements now that I am working out twice in the same day? Should I just split all of my regular supplementation in half for both pre and post-workout meals, or should I take in double the supplements and keep the same pre and post-workout ratios.

Here was my original diet I was going to use for a normal 3x a week workout schedule:
Meal 1 – 1.5 cups Kashi Go Lean, 1 cup of fruit or a banana, 1 cup skim milk, multivitamin, flax pill

PRE-WO – 1/2 cup oats with honey, 1 scoops whey, ½ teaspoon creatine, 1 teaspoon (2 scoops) BCAA

PWO – 1/2 cup oats with honey, 1 scoops whey, 32g dextrose, ½ teaspoon creatine, 1 teaspoon (2 scoops) BCAA

Meal 4 – large pasta with chicken, vegetables, and marinara (or turkey sandwich w/double meat, salad), flax pill

Meal 5 – plain chicken breast, 1 TBS olive oil, rice, veggies

Meal 6 - turkey sandwich (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle) (possibly double meat), salad

Before Bed – small salad with tuna, lots of almonds (20+), flax pill

2953 calories, 68 fat, 400 carbs, and 213 protein (51% carbs, 29% protein, 21% fat). I am 128 pounds, 6-6.5% bodyfat, 5'5'' male.

I will obviously need to take in more calories with such a strenuous workout plan. Should I modify my diet by adding in twice the supplements (4 scoops of protein instead of 2, 2 scoops of CEE instead of 1, 8 scoops of BCAAs instead of 4, and 64 grams of dextrose instead of 32)? Or should I just keep the same amount with all my supplements, split them in half for each of my workouts, and just add in more food?


Thanks for your help. If that is too complicated to understand, I will try to make it clear for anybody who is willing to help.

It depends on your workout. Are you splitting your workout time and sets in half as well? If so that requires less pre & post nutrition than before. If it's a full workout (let's say 10-15 sets 2 times on a workout day), you need full pre and post supplementation... damn, you're going to need to eat a shit load brother!

If this doesn't put weight in all the right places for you, I don't know what will! That kinda HST Routine and eating (SLEEP TOO!) should prove to show some great progress and get you larger for sure!

Yeah, I was planning to do 2 full body workouts a day. Man, that is going to be a lot of supplements. For the off days, should I still stick with 2 scoops of whey, 1 scoop of CEE, and 2 scoops of BCAAs (I would take half a dose of BCAAs as opposed to my workout days)?

I don't know...I know you are "entranced" by HST and the promise of more muscle through their program, but it is not a magic workout. It is not the workout, it is the recovery that counts.

My point being, at 5'5" and 128 lbs., I would say forget the two a day'ers and just work out sensibly and eat.
