Need some advice for fitting in all my protein
So lately I have been getting very nauseous from my protein shakes...
My day consists of:
7:00 am - get up
7:30 am - breakfast consisting of 5-6 eggs (mostly whites) and a piece of WH toast or a Meal Replacement Shake (24 g protein, 24 g carbs)
10:00 am - pre-workout protein shake w/creatine and half of a sweetpotato
11:15 - workout
12:30-12:45 pm - post-workout shake and a banana
1:30 - chicken breast and 1 cup of WH pasta (just hot sauce)
4:00 - 6 oz greek yogurt
7:00 - supper (meat and veggies - no carbs)
10:00 - protein shake (casein)
My current goal is cutting weight so I am eating around 250g protein, 150g carbs, 30g fat
My first question is does anyone see any issues with this current eating plan for cutting
The biggest thing is what changes can I make pre and post workout to avoid the nausea. Before I was eating almonds and a 2% cheese stick but ditched it for the protein and sweetpotato but its killing me. I workout on my lunch break so I cannot change that and I am never hungry it at least 10 am due to the eggs.
I hope someone with a lot more knowledge on nutrition will chime in. I have tried to research for myself but you get so many conflicting ideas
Thanks guys.

First off, how much do you weigh?
Secondly, are you 100% sure its the protein shakes that are causing the nausea and not being dehydrated? If it is the protein shakes, are you having a reaction to the type of protein used?
Also, you dont need to shy away from sat fat. Sat fat (in moderation) keeps t-levels up.

**PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE RESPONDS**
Current weight is 213. I forgot a key piece of information. I am using cellucor C4 extreme as my preworkout energy. So the problem is I am unable to drink a protein shake (10:00 am) and use my preworkout shake (taken about 10:45) without getting nauseous. On my cardio days I do not use the C4 and do not have the nausea. Also I can take the C4 on days when I do not drink a protein shake beforehand and I do not have any issues. So its really the combo of the two. I cannot believe I forgot this bit of info. So with that being said is there an alternative preworkout energy drink that is not as harsh on the system. I really love the C4 it help so much with my intensity. What is more important the intensity gained from the C4 or the protein preworkout. I do drink a shake immediately after my workout as well.
Thanks

Dymatize ISO-100 Hydrolyzed Whey - taste like crap btw. I was using MusclePharm Combat Power which is a blended protein and tasted amazing.However, I never took it and the C4 together so I do not know if the effect (nausea) would be the same.

Whatever happened to a quad espresso as a preworkout?
Throw in a lot of sugar and you'll get a hell of a pump from the insulin.....

Not really sure about your case. However, a pre-workout shake isnt really necessary. If its the combination of pre-workout and protein that is causing the headache, you might want to ditch the protein shake and just take the pre-workout. Then after, take your post workout if it doesnt bug you.

Yeah I may be able to just eat a little something that is high in protein. The whole problem is I am trying to hit 250 grams of protein, still be able to take my pre-workout shake and stay around 1800-2000 calories.
What are some ideas for a small preworkout meal that will provide a decent amt of both carbs and protein. I will continue drinking my post-workout shake as I have not had any issues thus far.
Thanks for all the help men!

Yeah I am already doing eggs and chicken every day but I like the jam and rye bread idea for some simple and complex carbs. I just need to figure out a tasty protein source not named eggs or chicken.
