10:00 am
Mass Recovery

Heres the story on this. I do better taken in liquid calories for the first meal of the day. THe mas recovery has 35grams of protein and 60grams of carbs, malto. That is why I chose that particular drink

1:00pm
2 onion buns, about 65 carsb
1 chicken breast split between the two
slice of cheese
red onion, tomato, lettuce
mustard and mayo

I threw the mayo in for some extra fat because my breakfast didnt have any and fat is pretty low throughout the rest of the meals.

3:20 Train

4:30-5:00
8oz of ground sirloin
pasta
pickles, mustard and ketchup

Its my variation of a hamburger pasta. Its good.

8:00
Chicken breast that has been pan seared in olive oil
Sprinkle of cheddard and mozarella cheese on the chicken
Salsa
2 tortillas or a cup of spanish rice
maybe some broccoli

11:00
Protein shake w. natural Pb

I am not trying to become the biggest guy in the world nor the most ripped. My goal is to just sport a nice looking muscular physique. I just like to workout and keep improving myself.

What do you think?

Oh and sometimes that sandwich at meal number two becomes a tuna sandwich instead of chicken.

The diet always changes but I try and keep it like that.

looks good but a few things.

where are the omega 3's?

I prefer to have some liguid calories post workout as they are assimilated quicker and help "jumpstart" protein & glycogen synthesis

Omega 3 isn't THAT important...but i myself do not ignore the health benefits of the super poly fat.

For breakfast..i suggest not taking in that supplement. Maltodextrin you probably know is just empty calorie sugar.

I suggest taking in a protein shake with little to no carbs....and have some fruit blended in with it...as a liquid meal. some suggestions would be of course a Banana....as its pretty high in carbs for 1 piece of fruit, pineapple, mangoes, grapes, berries.

I have always prefered a meal as opposed to a shake or drink postworkout. I figured by using pasta it would absorb quick enough in the system.

As far as healthy fats go I try and stick with olive oil.

I think OMEGA 3's are very improtant... as when they are not balanced with omega 6's (and the typical diet has them very inbalanced) it can cause health problems in the long run. Omega 3 also has good effects PPAR gamma which help keep one lean.

Looks good, but if it's possible, i would have add a meal after your workout. For exemple, i would have take a shake just after the workout (45-55g protein and 60-90g carbs) and 1 hours after, eat your current meal!

I also think that you can add some calories on your breakfast: a total of 45-55g of protein and 85-120g of carbs.

But hey, look in the miroir and if you add mass and stay as lean as you want... you can add some calories. On the opposite, if your body fat seems to by to high, cut on the carbs. (But with what you post, i doubt that you will put on a lot of body fat)

...my opinion...

What are your goals with this diet?? You said you don't want to be the most ripped, you don't want to want to be the biggest, you just want to sport a nice muscular physique... so... where are you at now?

How is this approach different from what you have been doing? My point is, if you want something to change, you will have to change something (%99.9 of the time that'd be diet).

Str8flexed is right, EFA's are crucial in your diet (regardless of your goals).

What i like with Troy's post, is that like he said, there is no magic diet that fits everyone. You got to clearly determine where your at and what is your current diet!

But we are here to discust so let see what people think!

i think teens these days take too many unneccessary supplements...and rely on them on the diet. They are always trying to find that magic pill that will help them lift big. ;D

they're wasting their time...

But again...i suggest fruits over malto dextrin in your shake for breakfast.

I'm with you: More money on chiken, less on supplements

I prefer to invest my precious money in food, protein powder... and sometime creatine (few months a years).
( ok ok i admit it... in dvd too )

only problem with fruit is you can't store fructose as glycogen, even in the liver; so it always signals that you are in the fed state when you eat it so it is a bit more lipogenic than other carbohydrates. That being said it's not bad to have 2 or 3 servings of fruit per day... just don't go nuts with it
