1. Correct me if I'm wrong,
Your metabolism is at its slowest when you wake up, then gradually rises and peaks at mid-day to evening (depends on when you wake up but you get the idea), then gradually slows bake down again.
So.....if this is the case should your calories per meal also follow this trend? Lowest in morning and night and highest mid-day/evening(ex. after workout).
The only problems with this I can gather is since your glycogen levels are low when you wake (if you did not eat a lot of carbs b4 bed), than a higher calorie meal in the morning would seem to be suitable as really all nutrients would be optimized since your body has just fasted for 8 hours.
2. in meal 2 I am lacking some calories, I could just add another slice of stoned ground whole wheat bread but that would put my carb count rather high and upset my 40/40/20 diet split.
3. I was thinking switching meal 2 and 3 as meal 2 would seem like a better pre workout meal. (meal 2 is 2 hours before workout)
4. In meal 4(post workout) I may have the macronutrients wrong. I tried to find the proper formula for post workout nutrition but was unable to find it.
5. Meal 5 contains no carbohydrates. I was thinking of adding rice and making it the same as meal 3 but would that be too many carbs to late in the day?
6. In meal 1 would egg whites be a better choice for longer satiety or would whey protein be better for quicker absorption after sleep(8 hour fast).
Overall I ESTIMATE I need to hit a higher calorie level(3600) that is why I am asking some of these questions.
Sorry for such a long post, just some things that I cannot figure out.
If you read all of this and looked at my diet thanks alot for that in itself and feel free to comment/criticise as you wish.
