Hey thanks for welcoming me to EF I love this website ever since my fiance surferstar started coming on here it has become addicting. But um... As far as my body shape I have a model build hense I also have been one for 4 years. My body fat on the singe caliper is 19.7% but I have no idea how accurate that is however I am very thin.
This is what I mean by skinny fat... little muscle and thin ... high(er) % body fat, b/c your body cannot hold onto the muscle if it's not fed properly I'll post pics as soon as I can.
We love pics
For my meals though
Meal 1: I have in the morning as soon as I wake up before I hit the gym which is a protein shake its 2 scoops whey protein at 75 calories per scoop 22 protein and 4 grams carbs mixed with water and 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter.
Possibly add a real meal here ?
Meal 2: I have a yogurt for a snack which has 28g carbs and 7g protein before I do cardio.
Are you training, eating this, then doing cardio? Can you clarify ...
Meal 3: protein shake post cardio workout with 1 glucoceroll r same shake as Meal 1.
PWO shake is fine .. I'd like to see a real meal here or in M1 though ...
Meal 4 is lunch: I usually have a spinach salad with 6 sliced strawberries and low fat feta cheese and low fat raspberry vinaigrette dressing. On days when I do not eat a spinach salad I will have either tuna with 1 tbsp. low fat mayo with some wheat thins.
Is chicken on that spinach salad? You need a protein in there ... chicken ,tuna, lean meat, etc... The crackers are ok, but there are better carb sources out there & if you want something crisp, WASA crispbread is healthier than wheat thins ...
Meal 5: I will have either a snack of unsalted peanuts or a yogurt, or some red grapes.
Almonds, walnuts are great choices too .. still I'd liek to see more protwin & some with every meal, esp since you want to BUILD muscle
Meal 6: 6oz. chicken breat and 3oz. eye of round steak with a small spinach salad with low fat raspberry vinaigrette dressing. For this meal I will alternate night to night with either steak chicken or fish.
Can you throw in some green veggies?
