My diet has gone to shit this past week (going to a festival, out to dinner, eating on the run etc doesn't help at all) but generally I'll try to eat 5 meals a day.Kampframmer wrote:
How many meals do you eat a day, and what do you eat?Jaekus wrote:
I used to but it was too much sometimes. So now I eat about half. That's approx 30g in a meal, for half a 300g breast (bearing in mind chicken is about 20-22% protein by weight). I can see why you'd eat three at a time.
Usually I'll have rolled oats with protein powder for brekky, or I'll have 3 egg whites and a yolk with low fat cheese on toast.
Snack will often be a protein bar (45 grams of protein).
Lunch will often be a turkey breast sandwich with tomato and light cheese on wholemeal or soy & linseed bread.
On workout days I'll have 3 shakes (I include the one with the oats at breafast), with one an hour before workout and another immediately post workout. On non workout days I'll have 2 shakes.
Dinner will either be steak or chicken (usually) with salad or steamed vegetables.
I've been trying to lose weight though but now I've decided to gain some bulk (my plan has been to lose some fat this month, try to bulk a bit in Feb and go from there as to how I feel my progress is going), so I'm going to eat more and have an extra shake each day too.
