Should I eat school lunch?

ianakers Posts: 127 Joined: 2005/02/06	2005/03/27, 08:21 PM im 15 145 pounds and im trying to get bigger/stronger for football season. I still have fat i'd like to lose though. I want to be big and lean not just another fat blob linemamn like other people on my team. for breakfast i eat usually two hard boiled egg whites, half a bagel with a little cream cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt or fruit and some milk. and for dinner i just eat whatever my family eats. Ive been told that for what im trying to do i should eat the school lunch but its probably not the healthiest thing to eat. Usually when i bring my lunch i get hungry around 3:30-4 but that doesnt really happen as much when i eat school lunch. i lift afterschool 3 days a week and run track the other two.

It looks like you might need to eat more protein. Two hard boiled egg whites is nothing really if you want a lot of protein. Consider taking protein shakes. Check out the bodybuilders grocery list for foods that you should eat to accomplish your goals. DX

And all of it can be carried in a lunch box. Protein power could be substituted for the bars, and made even easier just with a water foutain. -------------- " The only true eye, is your minds eye"- plato

A lot of lineman are very big and fat. a 155 lb. lineman is kinda...you know...not so heavy. I would say eat eat eat! Get big and strong and impress your coach. If you have any questions about gaining muscle weight, just ask us DX

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/03/28, 04:54 PM I didn't say to get fat. Or maybe i did, but that's not what I meant. I meant that you should lift weights, gain some good muscle, but some fat will come. 10 lbs. of muscle is something that is hard to gain and seeing that you have a limited time to do so will probably mean that you will have to gain some fat along with the muscle in order to satisfy your coach.
