meal spacing is good but:
07:45 Bagel, glass of milk and honey...take out the bagel and add some fibre type cerial and fruit
Workout
09:30 1/4 white with bun(whole wheat) garden salad...add fruit here instead of an hr later and protein...PROTEIN WITH EVERY MEAL!!
10:30 Banana, orange and green tea
12:45 Meat ball sandwich, salad and half of avocado
16:00 Bowl of Chili, 2slices of 12 grain bread...add protein
17:10 Green tea, nutri bar, banana...bars are rubbish add solid protein and maybe combine with previous meal
20:15 Tuna sandwich (lettuce, tomato a little bit of mayo)..add veg
21:00 Nutri bar, milk and honey...replace with solid proetin, veg and healthy fats such as other half of avocado
what time do you workout and what is your post workout meal?

what time do you workout and what is your post workout meal?
Well Swanso5, I workout about 3-5 times a week. For the most part I hit the gym early, anywhere from 7AM - 8:30 AM, on the weekends I go around 2-4 PM
I do 12 hour shift Mon-Fri. I find it difficult to eat a good Pre- workout meal that early and by the time I finish working out I have only time to shower and head to work and therefor I am also missing post workout meal and I know that it is very important to have a nice nice post workout meal.
The thing is that I really try hard to get everything done (workout & meals) and I get alot of people saying that they see major difference in body but I just want to start a healthier year and be in a good shape.
I quit smoking 4 months ago (smoked for 5 years).
I also dont have much knowledge on what contains protein, good carbs vs bad carbs, healthy calories and stuff of that nature.
At work we have microwaves but I hate buying frozen food, although I cook myself as well it is a bit difficult to always do that.
Thank you very much

I think the bagel in the morning is fine, if whole wheat is available, even better. Would recommend maybe with peanut butter if you like it for the protein or another protein source. 9:30-1/4 white what with bun? Chili is an excellent source of protein so I don't think you need more at that meal as suggested. I would probably substitute on of your serving of tea for milk or another dairy product.swanso5 wrote:meal spacing is good but:

what time do you workout and what is your post workout meal?
Let me know if you have additional questions.
Hey Sameey,
The bagel in the morning wasnt whole wheat, it was everything bagel.
As for the chicken, I had it with a white bun (I felt guilty but that was the only thing they had and I needed some bread).
As for the tea at night, the only reason I had it was because I was lazy to go buy milk.
I usually drink milk in the morning and at night, and I use honey for everything, I do not use sugar.
I tried cottage cheese, man it tasted awful.
At times I have a yoghurt before bad.
Thank you

You need not feel guilty for eating white bread, although whole wheat is better. As a matter of fact, many people are eating bread that they believe to be whole wheat when it is not. The "whole wheat flour" which is usually listed on the bread label is not whole wheat. Unless the label says "whole wheat" or "stone ground whole wheat" or something to that effect, it is most likely not a whole grain. As far as honey is concerned, it only has a slight nutritional value above sugar (granulated white or brown sugar). If you prefer it because of taste, that's fine, but don't look for any real nutritional value in it other than a trace amount of iron. I personally do not care for cottage cheese either, but there are plenty of other sources of calcium and protein.artoni wrote:Hey Sameey,

Hi there,
question is how long have you been eating this way and are you currently gaining? Your food choices aren't that bad. There is room for some improvement, but overall not bad.
If you have been eating this way for a while but not gaining try making increases. You could add a couple eggs or some egg whites with your first meal, I think your last meal could be meat, brown rice or sweet potato and a vegetable. You could add some nuts at your 10:30 meal. Just some ideas.
