It says in your profile you want to gain and you will never accomplish that on such a meager daily intake. Food choices are pretty good, ditch the butter and make it peanut butter. Add a healthy snack/meal at 10:00am and another at 3:00pm. You don't want to go over 4 hours without eating, it kills your metabolism.

Honestly you can't go wrong with a cup of cottage cheese and some nuts for one meal and maybe some sort of fish for the other. Your post work-out meal should not be a dairy based protien as it will digest to slowly. Why not buy some Whey and make a shake? Just some ideas. -------------- Lift. Eat. Rest. Gain. ~Brad~

borpillicus Posts: 454 Joined: 2003/03/13	2005/03/25, 08:15 PM Its better, but you could use more protien. The 2 till 6 without food is too long without food so you may want to throw in a high protien snack to fill the gap. What are your stats? Its difficult to tell how much food you need with out your age, weight, height. I personally would be eating much more for gaining, but I am a serious hard gainer and require a lot of food to grow. I am not sure what ispaghol is. Is it a protien suppliment? -------------- Lift. Eat. Rest. Gain. ~Brad~
thedominator Posts: 288 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/03/25, 08:38 PM i'm 28 5'11" 182.6lb... and went to the doctor to get my BF checked and he said i'm perfectly fit for my height and he asked me to go to gym for such kind of "high tech mumbo jumbo" :big_smile: went to gym and they hadn't got any equipment to check BF.. so i can just let u get an idea by telling that i've got a little bit of fat distributed on my body.. so basically i dont' have a lot of fat on belly :D.. u can call me smart type.. (if that helps) hahahaha.. ispaghol is a high fiber drink which i drink as suggested by my doctor due to constipation problems i had in past.. am basically completing the course of one month and still've got about 8 days to go -------------- A life worth living is a life lived with honor and dignity..bow to no moral and bowed by none..

thedominator Posts: 288 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/03/25, 08:39 PM sorry forgot to ask....i'll take ur advice and add another meal in between 2 and 6.. will protein shake work or shud it be some solid food? -------------- A life worth living is a life lived with honor and dignity..bow to no moral and bowed by none..

borpillicus Posts: 454 Joined: 2003/03/13	2005/03/26, 04:43 PM Could be a shake, but solid food is usually better. I try to save my shakes for after my work outs (no dairy) and before bed (with milk for the casien protein) You also want to have protien before you go to bed. Remember, your body rebuilds all its muscle while sleeping. Again I would suggest a dairy based protien for slow digestion while sleeping. -------------- Lift. Eat. Rest. Gain. ~Brad~
borpillicus Posts: 454 Joined: 2003/03/13	2005/03/26, 04:47 PM I forgot to add: You are my height, but about 10 lbs up on me. I would definitly be eating more if your shooting for muscle gains. And on the constipation from experience: I had it really bad for the longest time and you know what cleared me up? Eating more peanut butter and peanuts. They are really high in fibre and omega fats, which really helps the bowels get moving.
thedominator Posts: 288 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/03/27, 12:03 PM thankx bropillicus.. i guess i'll add another chicken breast of leg there... and on the constipation side.. i've had this problem for long enough now :( this ispaghol has helped me to come back to normal.. i have started eating PB as u can see from the meals above.. will have salted peanuts in my pocket... just to chew around when i'm not eating anything else *wink* -------------- A life worth living is a life lived with honor and dignity..bow to no moral and bowed by none..

thedominator Posts: 288 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/03/27, 12:04 PM hay one more thing.. i've started getting hungry sometimes during the time in between meals.. is that good or bad? -------------- A life worth living is a life lived with honor and dignity..bow to no moral and bowed by none.. THATS ME
marblez Posts: 56 Joined: 2004/12/15	2005/03/27, 03:58 PM Umm... you don't even eat as much as me!! I'm a 5'4 124lb female! You need to eat more, you need to throw another meal in there.
thedominator Posts: 288 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/03/27, 05:23 PM you mean 7 meals a day marblez??? :O.. oh comeon.. i've got other things to do too :D.. except cooking/prepareing and eating lol.. -------------- A life worth living is a life lived with honor and dignity..bow to no moral and bowed by none..

marblez Posts: 56 Joined: 2004/12/15	2005/03/27, 07:16 PM No, I don't eat that many meals. I eat about 4 or 5. But the amount of food is not enough!! You'll just waste away. Even I lost weight, at my height and size, by eating that amount of food. I think you have the wrong idea - spacing meals to speed metabolism doesn't do much if you are depriving your body of its needed calories
thedominator Posts: 288 Joined: 2005/02/16	2005/03/27, 07:26 PM oh so what u mean is that i have to increase my intake of calories a bit more.. thats fine.. i've done it already.. now my intake is like 3100 calories per day.. and that is around 100 more then i was suggested to take.. so i think i'm on track now -------------- A life worth living is a life lived with honor and dignity..bow to no moral and bowed by none..
