need meals im so confused

Post by jusme »

ok this whole thing about what to eat what not to eat is confusing me so much i really never thought out what all i was eating before! i have always been a small girl and ate what i wanted. i have had 2 kids now and really need to tone up though i want to lose pooch and i really need to tone up everything else. About me im 25 110lbs doing weight training and cardio workouts! I would really like it if someone could put me together a meal plan for a day so i can get a start on it before going grocery shopping! Times to eat 8am 11am 2pm 5pm and 8pm! And if you could share what time i should do weight training/drink the protein shake before or after which meals i would appreciate it a lot! THANKS IN ADVANCE! ( The more meals shared the better i can shop and get things going)

Help me start journal of menu's

Well we've got the meal times, but we want to see what foods you do eat, so we have a better idea of what to add / take away :).

Belated congrats on the little'n's by the way :).

If you need any additional help as well, you can if you want to check out site, and have a look at the diet planner for more ideas and some macro information. You don't have to post anything, or even go there, it's just a suggestion :).

In the mean time I think you would be good for around 1,800 cals at the minute, taking into account your exercise regimen.

as suggested earlier on another post i think but reiterating"

- never train on an empty stomach, ever
- no single joint exercises i.e. 7/10 exercises from your workout below
- you should have the cerial after wts
- no biscuits
- you shouldn't need a 2nd session if you've done the first one right...actually you couldn't...if you do it HAS to be at least 6hrs apart from 1st session
- no bread / cerial if not having straight after wts
- no corn, it's the worse of all veggies
- how processed are the meatballs? (white flour = fat guts)
- again no bread except after wts
- fruit only for meals before training, not after
- there should be another evening meal

not being a wanker, just being honest

JUST WANT TO GET THIS RIGHT WHAT YOUR SAYING

so since i do weight training at 8am i only eat fruit before then and the rest of the day i shouldn't eat any more fruit for the day?

also so after workout at 9am if i want to have bread i eat it right then or do not have bread at all for the day? and this include rice and pasta as well?

and don't even eat biscuits or corn at all? is there any other foods you would suggest not to eat at all? i have completely took junk food out already cause before i use to eat at least 2 candy bars a week ): i craved chocolate when pregnant and kept craving after i had boy. but i do not even have junk food in the house now! (:

pre-training i will drink 1/2 protein shake and post training another 1/2 protein is this ok?

the gilads bodies in motion workout will not be done anymore just the weight trianing session at 8am!

THANKS FOR THE HONESTY I WOULDN'T WANT THE ADVICE ANY OTHER WAY(:

Well I agree it might nutritionally not be as optimal as leafy greens, but the idea it's not worth consuming, is not one I can wholely agree with.

A: It's a good source of Lutein, and possibly Zeaxanthin.

B: It's a Legume, and has a good level of Amino Acids and Carbs, (though the Protein is complimentary not complete), the Carbs are starchy, (complex), as Corn starch is what Maltodextrin is made of.

There's a possible poop issue perhaps, so I've heard, but unless the Corn had Toxins in it, and frankly any Whole-grain or legume sources could, I don't see a big issue.

- yes fruit before training but not after
- yes bread, rice and p[asta only the meal after WEIGHTS training (not cardio...well maybe a little depending on how hard you just did it)
- there's nothing you can't eat at all but to be OPTIMAL there should be a few no go's or simply timie your foods as discussed above...generally anything made, comes in a box and doesn't look like it should "naturally" is what you should steer clear of
- yes half and half is ok...you can go 2 whole shakes if you want depends on how you tolerate it though
- you can do the video on cardio days if you want too...also we'll see how the new regime goes and if we need an extra session that the video done twice a week on the same day as wts might not hurt but they need to be at least 6hrs apart
