Its my opinion that vegetables should be the base of the food pyramid. Cutting or bulking if you are interested in living a long healthy life you should be eating at least ten servings of vegetables per day. They prevent degenerative diseases and diseases that we, as steroid users, should be concerned about such as prostate cancer and heart problems. Blueberries are very dense in antioxidants and arguably one of the most nutritious foods available. However the first statement in the Canada Food Guide states that you should be eating a variety of foods. Perhaps you could have a baked potato with your lunch. I bake about six potatoes at a time and eat about two per day. Potatoes contain a lot of volume and few calories so you feel fuller without over eating. Same with your dinner … use your imagination and come up with a good ground beef salad. My wife makes a good taco salad that’s low fat and I taste unbelievable. I could eat it every day. Salads are great diet foods because they fill you up without providing the calories. Vegetables are mostly water and fiber. They contain few calories. My typical meal plan looks like this: For breakfast I have two cups of egg whites with various vegetables and a slice of dark heavy rye bread. After my workout I have a bowl of oatmeal with a couple scoops of protein powder ... might have a potato. Lunch I have a fried rice stir fry. Every couple days I bake up a bunch of potatoes, cook up a large pot of rice, and bake a few chicken breasts so my lunch doesn’t take much preparation. What I do is cover a pan up in one or two tbsp of oil. Dump in a cup or two of white rice that’s been sitting in the fridge. Let the rice fry for a couple minutes while I dice up some peppers. Add some frozen stir fry veggies. Toss on a chicken breast. Good to go. I might add some soy sauce. A snack might be another bowl of oatmeal with a couple scoops of protein. Dinner is a salad. I change it up. Greek salads to garden salads. Usually I’ll have another chicken breast and baked potato on the side. Before I go to bed I’ll make up some low calorie jello or pudding. At the moment I’m lifting weights four days a week. Back&Abs / Chest&Calves / Legs / Arms 90 minutes a workout. 30 minutes of brisk walking after. 12-16 sets a muscle group. High reps at the moment (15-20 reps) but I like to keep it heavy. I take a multi-vitamin/mineral that contains various herbs as well like ginsing, etc. I also chew 500mg vitamin c’s like they are candy. I eat probably 2-3 grams per day.
I forgot to mention I usually have 1 cup steamed brocolli with my 6pm dinner. It's not 10 servings but its a start. So I'll add more veggies. Cool, anything else?
calories seem just a little low, but i know everyone burns cal's at different rates. do like data said and load up on the veggies. that's the #1 thing that helped me go from lard ass to being ronnie colemans idol.. "o.k. maybe that's bullshit" lol
Hey there. I'm dieting for a comp at the moment and if I was you I would have 6 egg whites instead of the two whole eggs i assume you are having at 7.30am. Also if i was to add something else in there it would be another meal in the morning period. It looks as if you are not getting enough food between 7 and 12. Throw in a can of drained tuna, 1/2 cup of cooked rice and 100g of green veges in at 10am. Move the protein bar back to say 8.30am. After your workout I would keep the shake you are having but axe the milk and cashews in favour of 120-150g of white fish and 100g of veges. Evo Just my two cents.
lose all dairy make's you hold water! where is the ckn? carb/pro looks good. use more animal pro less powder more veg less fruit
