Revised diet plan, what am I doing wrong?
- Thread starter jjasc
- Start date
Sorry, had a problem editing the post...
Ok, I posted a diet up a few weeks ago. Someone replied and I modified it accordingly (with some changes).
This has been my diet for the last three weeks.
Can you guys tell me what I need to change?
background stats:
I'm 24, weigh about 155-157 (depends) and about 5 "8 in height.
I do a god awful amount of cardio each day (usually). This includes riding a bike for about 1.5 hours a day, attending mauy thai/brazilian jujitsu classes each day (about 800 calories burned in a session of muay thai), fight/spar for about 15 minutes after class. Work out in gym )ON the MAX OT routine and lift HEAVY ) *run 10k once a week (my roomates' friend is a hottie and she wants to run with me, otherwise, I’d ax
this).
I've been lifting for about 2.5 months. I started at about 140 lbs and I have now reached about 156-157 lbs. I don't think much of this weight is fat, as my body fat percentage is only about 10 % and my abs are far more defined now then they were before I started to bulk up! WTF?? I could be wrong though. I notice a HUGE HUGE difference in the mirror though. My biceps must have gained 1.5-two inches and my chest/shoulders has really swelled. Utterly amazed at the results I'm getting. I've always been fairly slender but now I'm actually starting to look "big". Wow.
Strength has also gone way up in all lifts (bench was 130, now it's 160).
Ok, I’ll shut up now. Critize away boys.
meal 1:
*1 cup oatmeal
*half cup skim milk
*heaping tablespoon (or two) fat-free, plain yogurt.
*1 scoop whey protein (24 grams)
*multivitamin
meal 2
*1 can flaked tuna (32 grams protein) on whole-wheat/multigrain bread (2).
*half a yam
*banana
*handful of unsalted nuts (cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, hazel nuts, raisons)
meal 3 (lunch)
*1 cup of brown rice with chicken breast or rib eye steak, handful of lettuce and some type of fiberus greens (peas, broccoli, cauliflower, corn on cob, etc)
*three table spoons of that package gravy mix (sometimes)
*possibly half (or whole) yam/sweet potato.
meal 4
*1 can flaked tuna (32 grams protein) on wholewheat/multigrain bread (2).
*half a yam or sweetpotaoe
*banana/apple
*handful of unsalted nuts (cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, hazel nuts, raisons) (sometimes)
meal 5
*5 raw eggs
*half a yam
*apple (sometimes)
*handful of nuts (sometimes)
meal 6 (post workout)
*two scoops of whey (40 grams protein)
*couple handfuls of nuts (cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, hazel nuts, raisons_
*multigrain rice cake (sometimes)
*10 grams of creatin+ glutamine
meal 7
*1 cup of brown rice with chicken breast or rib eye steak OR extra lean pure bison burger patty (36 grams protein, 7 grams fat) on whole-wheat bun with slice of processed cheese(or cheddar) + condiments + onions
*a handful of lettuce and some type of fiberus greens (peas, broccoli, cauliflower, corn on cob, etc)possibly half (or whole) yam/sweet potato.
meal 8 (about 12 pm) (occasionally)
*two scoops of whey.
I bought some 1% cottage cheese to replace this. Not sure if this meal is needed, since I eat so damn much
I also drink a god-awful amount of water.
Note: unfortunately, I slip a bit on the weekends.
I might only have 4-5 meals on sat and Friday. And two of those meals might be cheat meals...
thanks guys

Muscle growth is always great when you're first lifting weights for the first time in awhile, so enjoy the gains while they last. That looks like a lot of cardio if you're trying to bulk up a bit. That diet looks pretty good.
