Diet & Meal Times

Mr.David

Hey,

My current diet is as follows:

7am: Porridge with 2 spoons of sugar (i hate honey)
15g Protein shake with a few oats thrown in

12 midday: 600ml of soup (I make it myself, no cream, butter etc). Usually veg soup or similar

4.30: Ryvita snack with some cheese and a yoghurt

6:30: 30g protein shake

7:30: Dinner - Examples like chicken stew with loads of veg, savoury mine with potatoes, chorizo & spinach soup, chili con carne

9:00 - Some berries and a dollop of low fat yogurt

10:00 - 15g protein shake.


I cook all the food myself and use olive oil to get the good fats, and avoid junk food. At the weekends I am more lenient and allow myself slightly larger portions and beer and dinners such as lasagne or curry as a treat.

Opinions? I am trying to build more muscle mass and loose fat too. Should I cut out the protein before bed?

Oh, lastly, I go to the gym 5-6 days a week (3 cardio, 3 weights).

You're trying to build muscle mass and you pretty much don't eat any significant solid food for a good 12 hr gap between 7am and 7pm?!

And why so many protein shakes?

Mr.David

I'm about the same height but around 2 stone lighter and I eat way more than that. As mack said you've pretty much no solid food throughout the day. Ease off on the shakes. Get some eggs, fish, steak, tuna, nuts, milk etc into ya. Also you've not much fruit or veg. Take a look at the stickies. Try a website like fitday.com or similar to see cal intake and the kind of carb/protein/fat breakdown of your meals. Good luck.
