Hey guys, I'm just getting back into training again after almost a year hiatus (long story) and I need help getting my diet sorted out.
Here's what I have so far:
Meal 1
Just a big shake for breakfast (whey, peanut butter, oats, 2 eggs, olive oil?)
Meal 2
150gm minced beef/tuna cooked up with either rice/pasta/potatoes + some veggies
Meal 3
150gm minced beef/tuna cooked up with either rice/pasta/potatoes + some veggies
Meal 4
150gm minced beef/tuna cooked up with either rice/pasta/potatoes + some veggies
Meal 5
Big serve of whatever Mum cooks for tea?
Meal 6
Shake with a couple of eggs before tea.
Also include a PWO shake 3 times a week on days that I'll train.
I've worked that out to be approximately 3 dozen eggs a week (@6 a day for 6 days (I'm leaving one day free as a cheat day...is this wise or should I still stick to my diet on the 7th day?)
2.7kg of beef/tuna a week (450g a day for 6 days)
I haven't counted up the macro's yet, but I'm not too sure about carbs; mainly, how much is how much and how many do I need per day?
Eg, 1 cup of rice is 50g of carbs or 100g of carbs or whatever.
I'm not entirely sure of a ratio of carbs to protein to fats (am I reading into this a bit much or should I know and be counting all these sorts of things?)
Just off the top of my head thats approx. 36g of protein per 150g of cooked minced beef x 3 meals of that per day = 108g of protein + 2 shakes @ 25g protein per shake (+2 eggs each shake @ 5g protein per egg) = approx 185g of protein (not counting any I would get from meal 5) per day.
I'm not sure if this is enough or not. Any thoughts?
PS. Keep in mind my goal is bulking, I'm approx 5'8 tall and currently weigh around 65kg.
Thanks!
