My diet for cutting. Let's see how jacked up it is.

[Shibby]

5:30am - One cup oatmeal with cina, splenda, and a scoop on natty PB.

Aprox 6:15am - Workout

Post workout shake imidiatly following workout ( 43g protien, 20g carbs, 7g fat (1 sat), 2g sugar.

9:30am - Grilled Chicken Breast, 2cups of brown rice (measured after being cooked) and a cup of mixed vegis.

2:00pm - Bouncers Tuna Patties (the ones I so strongly endorse) with same post workout shake.

6:00pm - 4 PB/J sandwiches. Whole wheat bread, PB and sugar free jelly.

10:00pm - 1lb ground beef (I grill it to take as much fat out as possible) and 3 egg whites.

It all looks good IMO. The only thing I see is the PB in the morn with the 1st meal. I geberaly try to avoid fats at that time as my body needs nutrients quick. After a nights sleep you need to fuel up as fast as possibe IMO. Just an observation.

[Shibby]

I add it for a little more protien.

[Bouncer]

Well it looks good but there are a few things wrong with it.

1. Have some sugar in the morning with your breakfast such as a banana and some honey with your oats. Cut out the PB in this meal. The morning and post workout is when your body really needs and uses sugar in a good way.

2. Your meals are two far apart. You go from 2 until 6 with nothing to eat and then you eat 4 PB sandwhiches. You shouldnt count PB or the bread as a protein source so your really not getting much muscle building protein from this meal. Also to many carbs in all those slices of bread for 1 meal.

My suggestion, add in 3-4 more meals. Going from 2 until 6 without anything simply wont work. Your body wants and needs a steady supply of protein and your not providing that with this diet bro. Let me know if you need help in setting up a diet and I will be glad to help.

[Shibby]

Thanks for the advice. Let me put some thoughts together and get it rechecked.

[decadecadeca]

Yup, since I started eating every 2-3 hours I never get cravings. Even though I'm not eating that much I always feel reasonably fueled up, never full though. And now I could throw my watch away, I can almost tell you to the second what time of day it is and when I need to eat.

I'd say what the others have said, lose the PB&J sammiches and maybe ditch the hamburger for a better/leaner cut of red meat.

[MarcusMaximus]

same thing; too long between meals. i eat pb throughout both cutting and maintaining phases. especially like shit on a stick ( bananas and peanut butter )

i agree with cutting out the hamburger- it is nothing but toenails, lips, spinal cord and assholes anyway. it's made from whatever is left over. go for ground sirloin or some sort of ground veal.

4:00pm- 2 Sandwiches with enough turkey on each to be a total of about 50g protien with mustard (the sandwich meal works good for me so I can take it to class)

7:00pm - 1lb ground sirloin. It's what the package has always said I just call it all beef. (I grill it to take as much fat out as possible) and 3 egg whites.

10:00 - This is when I go to sleep so I can get up at 5:00am.

i work out at 5AM also - have you tried just having a low carb protein shake before you work out?

since your cutting - and since the oatmeal is a complex carb - i doubt it'll digest in enough time to let you use the carbs as energy for your workout.

2 cups of brown rice have about 88grams of carbs. i'm not sure what you're trying to do with your carb amounts - but if you're going low to moderate carb, 88 grams is kinda high for one meal.

your sandwich meal - i understand what you're saying about it being easier for you to bring to class - but unless you roasted the turkey yourself - remember that lunchmeats are full of sodium. and i'm not sure what kind of bread your eating. that's probably another close to 100g's of carbs from the bread.

7PM meal seems almost overkill. you're eating... i would guess cooked weight at least 12oz of beef and 3 egg whites (9g's protein) - 12 oz of beef will give you about 108grams of protein in 1 sitting. not that it's bad - but your body isn't going to digest all that in one sitting.

you need something before bed.

try eating 2-3 hours.

5:00
workout
7:00
10:00
1:00
4:00
7:00
10:00

that's every 3 hours and about what i stick with for an eating schedule - gives me 6 meals (or seven depending on whether i'm doing a shake before the gym).

i think you should try to go for a more balanced approach - make sure each meal is similar in your macro breakdown instead of up and down and all over the place.

JMO.

I have nothing more to add that she hasnt already said. Your going from 7pm to your post workout until you have any type of protein. Have a protein shake right before bed and with your first meal. As for the turkey, I hope you dont mean lunch meat. And as she said going 3 hours and then eating a pound of beef is not going to work. Your simply not giving your body what it wants. Your bombarding it with excess calories and then going awhile with nothing.

[Shibby]

Ok so low carb shake instead of oatmeal pre-workout, then shake I have listed already post-workout?

I guesteimated when posting the rice amount before. When I checked today it was very more like 1 cup, but still should I cut that in half?

Turkey is fresh, not lunchmeat. Comes from the deli here where I just moved last week in the middle of no where Oklahoma. That is one plus tons of meat, good quality, cheap price. I was looking at a chart comparing wheight/grams when estimating protien.

Cut Ground beef in half? Cut out eggs? both?

at 10:00 pm have another chicken meal? Maybe make ones without the rice? Or even have 2 pieces of chicken?

also I can do this time schedule

5:45 - low carb shake
workout
Post - workoutshake approx 7:30am
8:00 - chicken meal
10:00 - ?
1:00 - Tuna
4:00 - Sandwiches
7:00 - Beef
10:00 - ?

I usually workout about 6:15/6:30am


Damn I never knew it was this messed up. You can read all you want but I never relized how badly I can misinturpet. Hopefully I'm grasping a little more now.

Have a protein shake with the oatmeal before your workout. Also have one before bed. have a chicken and rice at 10am.

So at 8 and 10 the chicken meal. Sounds good. Thanks' Soooo much for the help. Maybe this answers your initial question of why the nutrition section is so slow. It's got the most infromation out there anyone can get so there is alot of room for misinterpration(sp)

Not to mention a lot of myths and misinformation. Not too many people want to spend the time to filter throught the BS, or feel the need to it seems.

10pm, and 5:30am....are you getting enough sleep

i wake up at 7am and I feel like shit, I'd hate to see a 5:30 am
