M2: 4 oz steak, 2 overeasy eggs, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 servings brocolli raw

My diet remains pretty stabale for the most part year round as far as what each meal (1-6) consisits of.

I am currently cutting and this is what it looks like.

Workous in the morning:

Meal 1 (Pre w/o): 1 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop protein custom blend mixed with water

Meal 2 (Post w/o): 1 packet oatmeal, 1 slice ezekiel bread, 1 scoop protein mix in water.

Meal 3: 1 can tuna. Broccoli, .5 or 1 tbsp EVOO

Meal 4: 1.5 cup egg whites, 1 oz almonds

Meal 5: 4-6oz plain chicken, 1 oz almonds, broccoli

Meal 6 (1.5 hrs pre bed): 1 cup fat free c/c, 1 tbsp flax, broccoli.

If I was trying to add LBM carbs would be upped in meals 1-4, some ground beef or whole eggs added into meal 4, skim milk, so on. Thats my basic foundation for year round but it can vary slightly depending on my tastes/goals.

[ozarkaBRAND]

Meal 1: ~30 almonds, cup of skim, 25grams whey isolate, 4 grams fishoil
Meal 2: brown rice, grilled chicken, whole wheat wrap, beans, 4 grams fishoil
Meal 3: during workout shake - 16grams whey, ~40grams dextrose
Meal 4: post WO shake - 20grams whey, ~50grams dextrose
Meal 5: 20-25 grams whey, sweet peas, grilled chicken or pork tenderloin, parmasean cheese with 1tbsp olive oil, 4grams fishoil
Meal 6: sweet peas or broccoli, baked chicken or pork tenderloin, parmesean cheese with 1tbst olive oil, 4 grams fishoil

[TerribleTowel]

Meal 1: Eggs, Oatmeal, Whole Wheat Bagel
Meal 2: Whey Shake w/ EVOO
Meal 3: Tuna w/ EVOO or Shrimp w/ EVOO or Flounder w/ EVOO
Meal 4: Chicken, Brown Rice
Meal 5: Whey Shake, Oatmeal, Banana
Meal 6: Shrimp w/ EVOO or Flounder w/ EVOO
Meal 7: Eggs or Chicken

(plus veggies mixed in throughout the day)

Also I'm currently cutting so my carb intake is lower than normal, only breakfast and pre and post workout meals contain carbs. This also explains the reason that I am consuming a lot of fish as I have the most success cutting with fish (got this idea from Jay Cutler).

Average day is about 300g of protein, 100-120g of fat, 40-70g of Carbs on my current cut.

so i have one question and it's probably fair to ask most of you.... it seems that all is doing it.

when you have a meal that consists of oatmeal and a protein shake, are you mixing the two?

or having the oatmeal, then drinking the shake?

[OCCFan023]

I eat my oatmeal and drink the protein shake separate. You could easily mix the two if your taste allowed that though.

I actually throw the oatmeal into the blender with my shake. I love the taste. Some people dont, so its just a matter of preference.

One more dumb question about the oatmeal....do you mix it raw or cooked?

there really is some patience on this board!

[TerribleTowel]

I eat mine together. I use a small amount of protein powder (like half a scoop) to flavor my oatmeal when I'm having it with a meal. Mmmm...delicious. When I'm having it with a shake, I'll just throw the oatmeal into the shake. I don't even blend it. Just make sure you make it an hour or more before you plan on drinking it so that the oatmeal has time to get soggy. It might sound gross, but it's not.

Edit: When I'm putting it in my shake I just put it in uncooked. Just letting it sit in the shake moistens it and makes it easy to drink or chew. When eating it with a meal, I'll cook it in the microwave, then add some cinnamon and a half scoop of protein.

I through it in raw. Buy the Quaker 1 min oats and just throw in a cup to a half a cup and your good to go.
