warren · 04-16-2008, 06:48 PM

ok i have this also on my jw,drive and rpm log but figured not everyone will look at that and may have more reply on here.

how does tat look ? im 179lbs at 5'11 and 15%bf

i am trying to gain lean mass and limit fat gain

not nearly enough fruits and vegetables.
not nearly enough fats. this is a terrible setup, frankly. i would add in some lean red meat, some oil/nuts of some kind(s), and some apples/bananas/sweet potatoes/white potatoes/etc.

ooops sorry mate forgot to mention that does not include any fruit or veg that i add as i found it too hard to calculate. and i do also sometimes swap the cicken for lean beef mince or steak

This isn't a garbage diet at all. Even if he was lacking some veggies (which he isn't since there not added) it would still be an awesome foundation. My question to you is what type of protein are you taking in for your final meal of the day? I would also recommend taking in some almonds or natty pb with the last shake of the day to help increase your healthy fat intake.

occfan, i take in 1 type of protien , ( cant really afford to buy 2 types) its a gradual release protien but im running out and always open to suggestions for shakes

**OCCFan023** · 04-16-2008, 08:21 PM

That is fine

banderbe · 04-23-2008, 04:46 PM

Milk or CC before bed works fine too..

Four cups of milk, or 2.5 cups of CC..

Calories seem somewhat high to me, unless you're something of a hard gainer.
I'd definitely throw a post-workout shake with dextrose and maltodextrin in (they're really cheap) and your protein powder.
More fat in that last meal to slow digestion down, or replace the milk with full fat cottage cheese.
And yeah- don't fear 5 whole eggs, the cholesterol will help maintain hormone levels.
More Fiber!
Good food choices overall man, just needs a little tinkering

yeah, OCC, i know now. man, i'm just such a prick when people don't eat their fruits and vegetables. i gotta stop that. it is a good diet, as he had mentioned later that he does eat his fruits/veggies. i think that it is a bit low on the fats, like you said. that's my only problem with it now. revised.

i apologize warren for my hasty comment. i gotta stop doing that. it's good. good homework/planning, m'man.

Eric.

I hear ya. People need to eat their damn vegetables!

If he doesn't have fruits it's perfectly fine if you ask me, he's bulking so he needs a lot of complex carbs. Ya you could go with a few cups of broccoli in a day but really it matters if you get your calories in and the pro/carb/fat ratio is good. If he takes a multi-v that supply's him with plenty of vitamins and nutrients.

clean diet + natural vegetables + correct amount of added vitamins = cash money. I find I respond really well when I incorporate natural sources of vitamins as opposed to just supplementing them. You can get by with just your hand but the real thing is much better
