Ok this is my first time using a set diet, where I counted calories and watching my macros. I have been watching what I eat for a year or so, just never sat down to plan out a set diet. So I'm far from a newb, but just new to this. Time to get serious. Thoughts and comments welcomed and needed. Thanks guys.
I've basically set it up so that I alternate Protein/Carb meals and Protein/Fat meals. I realize there is a decent amount of protein coming from powder, but this is mostly unavoidable and I don't think it's necessarily too much. I have class basically daily from 8 to 12, so a shake is about the only way to get a meal in during that time.
**I realize there is no vegetables listed with any of the meals, but don't worry they will be thrown in throughout the day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:30 - Meal 1 - Protein/Carb
7 Egg Whites
WW Bagel
1/2 Cup Oatmeal
1/2 Scoop Whey
10:15 - Meal 2 - Protein/Fat
(Protein Shake)
2 Scoops Whey
1/2 Tablespoon EVOO
12:45 - Meal 3 - Protein/Carb
6 Oz. Can Tuna
1/2 Cup Brown Rice (measured before cooked)
3:30 - Meal 4 - Protein/Fat
6 Oz. of Chicken
1/2 Tablespoon EVOO
5:00 - Workout
6:30 - Meal 5 - Protein/Carb - Post workout
(Protein Shake)
2 Scoops Whey
3/4 Cup Oatmeal
1 Banana
7:30 - Meal 6 - Protein/Carb
2 Flounder Filets
1/2 Cup Brown Rice (measured before cooking)
11:00 - Meal 7 - Protein/Fat
2 Scoops Whey (This may be switched out with Casein after my next order from our friendly NP. Maybe one scoop whey and one scoop casein.)
1 Tablespoon Natty PB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total macro breakdown comes down to (from fitday):
3225 calories
44% Pro / 34% Carb / 22% Fat
Like I said before I know there is no vegetables mentioned but they will be thrown in small amounts throughout the day. This should help bring the ratios a little closer to 40P / 40C / 20F, which was my original goal.
Well hear we go. Let me know what you think.
