Your Daily Diet.

[Hedge]

This is mainly for people who do weight training. But anyone else can join in too.

My diet needs a lot of planning still, however its something like this..

-----------------------

Breakfast - Peanut butter on bagel / scramble egg on toast / porridge / Protein shake

Mid morning - Tin of tuna, some fruit

Lunch - Chicken sandwich or similar

Mid afternoon - Fruit, cottage cheese, potato

WORKOUT

Post Workout - More tuna, protein shake (when it comes)

Supper - No idea really, more cottage cheese sometimes.


----------------


My diet needs some serious work and planning,

Hopefully this thread will give me some nice ideas.

If I were you for breakfast i'd have one of those with a protein shake (with carbs). Though for supper I would defiantly have more than cottage cheese, pasta bolognaise, chicken and rice for example.

actually mate your right, i seem to have written it wrong really and got confused. I probably eat 7 meals a day lol.

I normally have a proper meal about 45mins after the gym. Usually like you say, chicken, or sometimes steak.

 

[Mr.Stu]

I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, mixture of cardio and weights, on more of a maintainence diet at the moment.

7am - apple/mango fruit juice (not from concentrate!)
9am - cereal or oats with milk
midday - tuna baguette with sweetcorn and lettuce, white bread
2pm - apple with a yoghurt
5pm - handful of blueberries and roasted peanuts
6pm - gym
8:30pm - protein shake
9pm - pasta, peppers, tomatoes, chicken

Once I get rid of the thin layer of fat that persists on top of my stomach I'll add another protein shake in there and lower the cardio a little at the gym in favour of more weights

Hedge you are seriously lacking vegetables in your diet!

Baby spinach is a very nice lettuce substitute. Lettuce is rubbish and usually full of pesticides btw. Tomatoes are very good as are peppers and brocolli is a super food and also nice eaten raw in a salad.

You really need to be eating lots of this, especially if you're on a high protein diet. Don't underestimate how important veg is.

Fruit is ok, once or twice a day but it's no substitute for veg! You should be eating 5 portions a day MINIMUM and I don't even think fruit should be counted as one portion.

Daily diet, no chance. I eat different foods every day, even the same meals a couple of days in a row is a no-go for me.

Don't understand the hating on fruit, tasty and full of vits. I get at least 7+ portions of fruit/veg per day, often much higher.

Same here, I've never really understood how anyone can eat a daily diet. Boredom would set in for me after 2 days.

Don't understand the hating on fruit, tasty and full of vits. I get at least 7+ portions of fruit/veg per day, often much higher.

Never said I hated fruit, everyone should eat a piece everyday if possible. I just don't agree with how people replace vegetables with it as they're different and I think the government can be blamed for this with their 5-a-day thing, it confuses people.

Sporty active people especially should be getting a minimum of 5 portions a day of vegetables alone. All imvho of course

 

[Goatboy]

It's not that easy to consume lots of vegetables though, they're just not transportable and convenient which is essential for eating at work.

I don't tend to worry about what's what, I don't eat much in the way of starchy foods so nearly all my carbs are from fruit and veg so I just eat as much of both as possible.

What are your goals? More muscle? Less fat?

Diet lacks EFA's
No carbs Post Workout

For a bodybuilding diet its not brilliant tbh, but it all depends how much effort you want to put into the diet. The more work you put into the diet, the more you'll get out of training


My Diet:

Although my food choices change, the structure is very similar to what I had Yesterday

Diet:

08:30 30g Whey
09:00 10 egg whites, 4 yolks, 6 slices wholemeal, tomato
12:00 Tin kipper fillets, 100g oats
15:00 1.5 tins tuna, 200g basmati, 15ml Udos, brocolli
18:00 300g cottage cheese + pineapple, 100g oats, banana, 40g natural peanut butter
19:00 Workout
20:00 40g whey, 50g dextrose
21:00 150g chicken, 200g basmati egg fried rice, 15ml Udos, brocolli, apple

Quick question regarding the diet, which way do you prepare your eggs in the morning?
Also Udos is an oil right? Is the chicked cooked in the oil?
Might be stupid questions im a total newbie

edit: been looking around, looks like Udos usually comes in capsule form

Totally useless contribution I know, but i'm so glad I'm not into this Gym going body building stuff. The things you guys eat just don't excite me I love food (I'm not fat! 6ft tall and about 11.5 Stone) and the idea of eating one of these diets jst for a day scares me! I'll think of you while I tuck into my Steak and chips tonight!

What i'd do for a 16" pizza!

I eat steak almost every night

I eat very well balanced diet, very healthy and I miss out on nothing, it doesn't have to be about eating rabbit food, stuff you don't like, etc

 

[_Jimlad_]

having peanut butter before i went to bed would make me feel guilty

i worry about the lack of fruit and veg you guys seem to have in your diet

 

[Hedge]

Yeah the lack of veg is a problem for me. I need some way to implement it easily, the fact im not keen on much veg is a problem

Why would eating peanut butter make you feel guilty? Natural peanut butter is a great source of quality fats.

Hi mate, eggs are either scrambled or sometimes I just use 10 egg whites on their own (bought from myprotein) and add some oats and Udos Oil to it and down it in one once blended.

Yes, Udos Oil is a supplement that is fantastic, combining a good balance of Omega 3 and 6 that can be added to salads, shakes etc etc. If you struggle to get decent quality fats it can be obtained form this supplement.

Udos oil comes in 250ml or 500ml bottles.

Funny you should shop at myprotein and use Udos oil instead of the superior and cheaper 3-6-9 Oil Tastes nice aswell, a slightly nutty flavour.
