hmm..increase eggs?

[Maximum6]

well..after today's workout..i stepped on the scale..and i weighed....88.5 lbs!!!

I was wondering if i should increase my protein intake...like having 12 eggwhites for breakfast...and increase my chicken oz. to 8oz. instead of 6oz.?

What are your suggestions?

Good idea Max,you don`t want to lose too much weight,just bodyfat.

A good idea in my opinion is to have a junk day once a weeek where you eat what you like all day long but in moderate portions.

I doubt if it would hurt you with your activity level.

wow 88 1/2 lbs.... that is LIGHT. i curl that for reps.

max, you need a junk food day every now and again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too late..i'm too disciplined....

I don't even want to have pizza now...nor ice cream...nor chocolate.....nor burger...i just want EGGS, EGGS, EGGS, hmmm Wait..i do like Salmon...maybe i should have Salmon once a week or so...

unless......you guys think i should consider getting some protein powder.....if not....I think i'll increase my eggs to 16 egg whites each day.

here is my plan

6am- 8 egg whites, 1/2 cup oatmeal, Water

8:30am- postworkout - 1/4 cup white rice , 8 oz of chicken, 1/2 cup of veggies. water

11am- 1 can of Starkist tuna, Salad, Water

1:30pm- 8oz of Chicken , Steak. Maybe add 1/2 cup of Cottage cheese?? water. what do you think?

4pm- 8 egg whites. water

this is a typical low carb workout day. For high carb..i'll replace 11am with 1/4 cup of brown rice and 8oz steak or 8oz chicken. Then at 1:30pm i have my Starkist tuna and cottage cheese. And my last meal will end with 8 egg whites again.

for a rest day.....i 'll just adjust between the salad and the rice/ steak/chicken..you get the picture.


But Anything you guys think i should fix?? 12 eggwhites maybe??

Or how about Steak....how often should i eat it...i mean i see Steak as a dense "heavy food" so i want to keep it as Lunch...

I try to keep EGG whites as last meal of the day as well..besides breakfast. And cottage cheese is just that bonus "PROTEIN" i need.....

What do you guys think..any suggestions...

and no..i won't go off with junk food...like i said..i'm not at my goal yet...but eventually...i'll probably go eat a burger at IN-N-out or something....

88lbs? Are you a chick by any chance? Hehe, seriously man that is dangerously underweight. Why on earth are you talking about cutting all the time? I'd get some meat on them bones. Forget about JUST increasing protein, increase calories. With a bodyweight like that you should be eating anything and everything (within reason).

Hehe..i think i lost alot of fat..and maybe some muscle...but no matter...i'll just add more food to each of my meals....and i'm gonna eat salmon once a week...

[Maximum6]

ahhh..i got a better plan..

1st meal-1/2 cup oatmeal, 8 eggwhites, water

2nd meal- 8oz chicken and salad, water

If working out instead of meal 2:
PWO- rice , chicken, and a bit of veggies, water

3rd meal- Vegetables/Salad with tuna, water

4th meal- 8oz chicken , water

5th meal - 8 eggwhites or 1 can of tuna. Water

Hehe...i'll figure it out..basically 16 eggs, 1-2cans of tuna, 2 8oz chicken per day....and salmon is once a week.

Max, track your calories eaten in a journal.If you start to lose weight,add more calories until you level off or gain again.

88 pounds is very light.You should be looking to build a bigger ,stronger ,and leaner body,not just smaller and leaner.

I sincerely hope your health doesn`t suffer as you are still young and growing.

Your new meal scenario look`s better but make sure to start that calorie counting.

thanks tim....well my weight loss may be bad news in a way..but i also look alot leaner....now one strategy i'm using in my meal plan to gain back some muscle weight is to add FAT CALORIES...and PROTEIN CALORIES.

Basically adding 1 more can of tuna per day...and some salmon per week.....and make my chicken or beef 8oz. should do it. Plus add more portions to each of my meal...but not stuff myself.

I personally think BEEF and SALMON at least once a week is the key. and eating 8oz chicken instead of 6 is too. Plus 2 cans of tuna..hehe...we'll see...

I think i'm going to go get some Round tip or Top Round Steak tomorrow....
