Need more muscle by Dec 11. Help !!!

[buffchic69]

hello.

I need a day's worth food plan as to what I should be eating for adding muscle mass to my frame. what I usually do is :

I eat 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks totaling = eating 5 x a day. Is this ok ?

what I usually do is eat every 3 hours once a day I may eat my next meal 4 hours from my last. but, what I do is this:

7am- 22 gr. protein shake & a small clementine - as I run out the door.

10am- 1/2 cup oatmeal, 3 egg whites.

1pm- 1 can tuna, 1 cup green beans

3:00-4:00 pm WORKOUT !

4pm- post-workout ! 44 gr. protein shake, handful almonds

6:30-7:00pm- 3-4 oz. chicken or turkey, 1 cup veggies, or brown rice

9:30pm BEDTIME. usually a 22 gr. shake, almonds.

As you can see I love almonds !!! LOL


weight training 5 x a week. ( heavy ) 2 body parts once a week, 40-45 min.
I try to push out anywhere btwn: 8-12 reps 3-4 sets.

am I doing everything right ?

PS: i have a cruise coming up on Dec. 11, & I want to look as buff, fit &
have some serious muscle as I can.

Thanks !

Like Sassy said in an earlier thread, nobody can give you a FOR SURE diet. Learning what works for your body takes trial and error. Stick with an eating plan for 3-4 weeks, then evaluate where you are. Make adjustments as needed.

Exactly!! It will take 4 weeks or so to see if this will work for you.... eating plan successes vary by person....

I think your diet is reasonable. As I said in the other thread, I don't know the total number of calories & the grams of protein / carb / fat that your diet provides you. You might want to use fitday.com (its free). It takes a few minutes to set up the stuff that you eat, but it gives you the full break down. Then just work your diet & training for 3-4 weeks & see how it all works for you. Make sure you are getting good quality sleep so you are recovering as well as training hard. And drink enough water. With all those protein mixes you are drinking, you might want to also watch if you start getting a bloated stomach from it - depends on the mix & you. But just something to watch. Put more carbs on the days you train. Less on the days you only do cardio.

I can hardly wait to see how the next weeks work for ya! As said above, no diet & training can "guarantee" results within a short period of time because you have to be consistent with your schedule and you may need some additional time to tweak the whole schedule. But I think you will get some results from this. Good luck!
