Hey guys, hope this is in the right spot...
I just wanted a few more experienced folks to check what I'm doing and see if I'm on track...
Preface: I've had gastric bypass about 10 years ago. You'd never know it except for my scar. Right now I'm 144 at 5'5" and roughly 12-13% BF. I'd like to get under 10% before a bulk this fall. I've put on some muscle and am currently doing a recomp.
Because of the bypass I kind of have to eat lots of smaller meals all day. For example, in a hour I'll be having some salmon salad with crackers I made from canned salmon and light mayo. Later it'll be low fat string cheese and some turkey pepperoni. Anyway, protein shakes are a larger part of my diet than a lot of you guys because it's a helluva lot easier to slug one down vs. raw food. Here's what I have going on now:
Protiens:
Combat Powder by MusclePharm
ON's Plantium Hydro Whey
I have the Combat first thing in the morning and before bed -- it's a "blended" protein, so it has casein, egg, why concentrate and isolate. I used to use straight casein before bed but that stuff is nasty. It's thick, sticky, hard to mix and gross tasting. I'm also a little bit lactose intolerant so it gave me stomach problems if I didn't fall asleep fast.
The Hydro whey is post-workout about 45 min later. I chug down GAT's JetMass immediatley post-workout, and drive home for my post-workout protein.
Lunch is usually some kind of low-carb, high protein affair like chili or some kind of chicken. Dinner is usually some kind of fish/chicken.
I've calculated my my totals, and I'm getting about 1gm for every 1lb of body weight this way.
I know, I know...MusclePharm? It's a blend, and I can get it at my Costco fairly inexpensively. Shipping is expensive here, so unless I can get it through Amazon Prime or the retailer is going to cut me some deal ...
I'm taking Ergonine mornings along with sesathin and a multi. I just finished a run of cannibal claw from CnP. Good stuff, bottle doesn't last long, but that's probably for the best.
So, how's this all look for now? Any thoughts?
