My Diet, what else do I need

mattawesome Posts: 141 Joined: 2005/01/13	2005/06/03, 06:35 PM First off, I take a multi-vitamin every morning along with fish oil 1000 mg. For breakfast, 2 cups black coffee, either 2 patty sausage's or link. Lunch, either salmon, ground beef patty, and some type of green, salad, ect. afternoon snack, protein bar. Dinner. White chicken breast, or bacon and eggs, beef, steak and of course greens. What else are some good snacks in the day? Now I work out of my truck a lot, so my lunches are on the go are very quick. Am I getting the protein I need out of those meals, to gain muscle mass. Or should I boil some eggs to take along with me during the day. I'm also on whey protein and creatine. What do you all think? -------------- If you can't hang with the big dogs, go your little ass home.

I'm more active after lunch.I do eat a lot of turkey and tuna, I forgot to say that. I also will eat sweet potatoes for lucnh some days. Any more help let me know.
