Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I'm starting a four week intensive program with a personal trainer on Monday, and I talked to him on the telephone today about what he wanted me to eat before our workout. We're training at 9.30am and I mentioned that I'd probably eat my 6 egg whites mixed with half a cup of oatmeal at 6.30am, and he immediately said that 6 egg whites was way too many for a woman. Only eat 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites he said mixed with the oatmeal. In your opinions ladies do you think that he's right about that?
Too much protein?

bullshit

He told me that my first week should consist of 6 meals a day, 6 meals to have protein, 4 meals to have carbs, and 3 meals to have fats. The only time I'm allowed to have a piece of fruit is after weight lifting.
Shadow you are so funny, and I thought it was bull...t actually. I have no idea why he says only 3 eggs for women. Do you and the ladies here think that I'd be better off eating 6 eggs?
This is a four week intensive program where each week the meal plan changes, less carbs mostly each week. Heavy training is involved, lots and lots of cardio, which for me right now would be a good thing probably as I'm much fatter than I'd like to be. His weight training system is also done very much with the idea of core training, in other words your typical bicep curl would be done standing on a bosu ball, instead of your feet firmly on the ground etc. I trained with him a year ago but found it too hard back then due to the fact that my youngest was under a year old, now my diet is much better and feel I can complete the program.
He's a good guy, but as my husband says, he thinks he's too anal and follows the rules that his employer sets out by the book, with regards to food, drink etc.
Oh gotta go, my youngest son has just woken up from his nap.
Byeee for now.

Eat your usual 6 egg whites. I get the feeling it's more of a control issue with him as your trainer.

Well personally, I take in 6 egg whites.
But possiblity because of the diet he's putting you on you have enough protein in your diet.
Although I would think you need more than 14g of protein first thing in the morning since you just woke up and haven't eaten anything in at least 8 hours.

Just to break it down:
6 egg whites: 99 cal, 0 fat, 2 carb, 21 prot
1/2 c oatmeal: 145 cal, 2 fat, 25 carb, 6 prot - Total: 244 cal, 2 fat, 27 carb, 27 prot
1 whole egg + 2 whites: 134 cal, 7 fat, 2 carb, 14 prot
1/2 c oatmeal: 145 cal, 2 fat, 25 carb, 6 prot - Total: 279 cal,10 fat, 27 carb, 20 prot
Doesn't look like that big a deal. Jeez if 7 g. of protein kills me cuz I'm female, I would've been dead in 2000. The fat in the whole egg would help slow digestion for your first meal of the day.

Thanks for all your responses, I think I'll stick to my six egg whites and he doesn't have to know does he? 
I had a feeling the majority of you take more than three eggs, and you all look fantastic, and I'd rather look like you guys, rather than looking like him.
Thanks again.

It's all relative really. Eat 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight; yearround, and regardless of goals.

So I read about the creatine gaining possibly 5 pounds of water weight from it being stored in the muscles. Since I'm already trying to add on some muscle... Is it still beneficial to keep posting up pictures so people can see me 'super hydrated', or would it be better after I cycle off and start concentrating on cutting more that hopefully will reveal all the muscle I have and will gain?The Shadow said:
