How is this for size?

Post by Rashar »

Hello experts,

I'm 5'10" weighing in at 180 lbs. Just started training and found a meal plan from shapefit: arms and legs are pretty skinny and goal is to build muscle in those areas as well cut down on size.

From what I read I need around 3200 - 3500 calorie intake.

Could some one please critique the following meal plan for me?

Breakfast

Apples, raw, with skin, 1 large (3-1/4" dia) (approx 2 per lb)
Boars Head Turkey Breast - Ovengold, Roast, no skin, 5 oz
Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, toasted, 2 slice
Cheese, swiss, low fat, 2 slice (1 oz)
Milk, nonfat, fluid, with added vitamin A (fat free or skim), 1 cup


Lunch
Cheese, cheddar, 0.25 cup, shredded
Chili with beans, canned, 2 cup
Rice, brown, long-grain, cooked, 1 cup


Mid-Afternoon Snack
Boars Head Turkey Breast - Ovengold, Roast, no skin, 6 oz
Milk, nonfat, fluid, with added vitamin A (fat free or skim), 1 cup
Nuts, mixed nuts, dry roasted, with peanuts, without salt added, 0.5 cup


Dinner
Broccoli, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, 1 cup, chopped
Garlic, raw, 1 clove

Peppers, sweet, red, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, 1 cup, chopped

it depends on what you're used to eating...if you're coming from 1500cal's a day then doubling it tomorrow isn't the best option nor will you be able to get it all in

you also need a post training meal
