Is that ok or should i try fit more full meals in while im in work?? They do have a hot food canteen but its usually full of ****e like chips,fried sausages,burgers etc, they occasionally have a beef/pork/turkey dinner! |
Doesn't seem to bade mate. To change i would ditch the rolls with the 1.30 am meal and mash up a spud with the tuna and add some sweetcorn/tomato with some oliveoil or flax oil to moisten it and add good fats which would up the calories too saying as you said your under weight. Id also consider having more than the one tin of tuna too or switching to chicken/turkey for added protein.
Your 10am post training meal id throw in some maltodextrin or better still waxy maize starch with the protein to replenish glycogen stores after your workout. However buying supplements isn't always cheap, so what ive done and do as i like it i get the frozen boil in the bag rice ( makes one portion ) which you microwave for 3 minutes and then using a hand held blender, blend it in a little water so that when its blended it has a consistancy of semolina. I then add this to my protein drink, which makes it a real nice thick and creamy drink which you actually get to chew bits at the bottom that havnt quite blended. Believe me these are lovely and are just the job for a quick meal, at any time.
