Critique My diet
So I fell off the wagon and somehow I went from 5"6 155 pounds to 5"6 195 pounds, over the last year.
I'm starting to get back into the workout routine again and I would appreciate any input on my diet. Yesterday: Meal #1 1 cup milk 2 eggs 1 cup beans 1/2 cup Whole grain Pasta Meal #2 6 oz chicken cooked in low fat italian dressing with some cajun spice 1 cup beans 1 slice whole grain bread with natural peanut butter Meal # 3 1 small porkchop 30 almonds 1 banana Meal #4 Extra lean ground beef salad (lettuce with low fat italian dressing) 1 cup broccli Meal #5 6oz steak (striploin) 1 low fat yogurt cup 1 cup green beans Meal #6 (right before bed) 1 cup milk 1 cup whey protein 5 frozen strawberries This look ok? I'm also drinking at least 4 bottles of water a day |

Re: Critique My diet
I know the least about diet among the many people who comment on such things here. I will say this, though: I've always heard that milk before bed was somehow, mysteriously/not completely understood, one of the best ways to gain weight.

Re: Critique My diet
I think you have a lot of clean food here... but I don't know really anything about your body type, bodyfat %, etc. The best way is going to just be to stick with this diet for at least 2 weeks, see how things are going, and then readjust accordingly. I'm glad to see you mixing in lots of beans/broccoli/etc... my one suggestion would be to lose the carbs in meals 5/6 but that is more of a personal preference to temper my carbs throughout the day.

Re: Critique My diet
Agree that there are lots of differing views. Also, a lot of people who arent lactose intolerant still dont handle large loads of milk well. I find its a great way to get protein between meals tho..I probably go thru a gallon every 2-3 days and havent had any problems

Re: Critique My diet
1. Add flavor. It's easy to add herbs and spices. Try basil, corriander, cumin, dill, mint, oregano, savory, tarragon, etc. cuz if a meal is palatable, a meal is much more satiating. Herbs and spices don't add calories, but do add enjoyment.
2. Your protein sources could include salmon, sardines, egg-whites, and/or vegetarian sources such as beans/rice, quinoa, and (god forbid) soy. |
