check my diet please guys and gals! - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

GYMBABE · 26-12-2007, 07:29 PM

First of all - big respect to this this site - it is really helpful and not full of **** like some of the other sites i have visited!
I am a female 32 and am hoping to enter a figure comp next year - would like to do fitness but dont have the gymnastic background!

My current diet is as follows:

7am breakfast - 6 egg whites - porridge
10am protein shake
12.30pm jacket potato - tuna
3.00pm protein shake
6.00 pm Salmon/chicken, rice broccoli

i take glutamine, creatine and a multi vit - is there anything else i should be taking? Is my diet pretty balanced? too much? too little?

I need to add some upper body muscle - i will post some pics soon and you can tell me what needs work !!

Thanks

Hi
Welcome to the site, I'm fairly new to this site and also find it a great source of information...
IMO The diet looks pretty well balanced, all I would add is maybe leave 2 yokes with the 6 eggs, I know it has more calories but also more protein and some fat will be fine.
I would add a banana with the 10am shake, More vegatable at 2:30, so maybe Broccoli or spinach...
3:00, I would try and take a food source if possible, maybe 2 small chicken breasts and maybe some fruit.
6:00pm fine
The shake you normally have at 3:00 I would either have post workout within 20 mins if possible, a fast absorption whey protein with water...
On a non training day maybe a cassien based protein drink before bed for a slow sustained release...
2 Litres of water throughout the day, also add red meat a few times a week...
Anyway, That's just IMO, But there is loads of info on this site regarding diet, so just have a look around....
Best of luck...

If you are looking at a female category then you may want to contact Kimberley Ann Jones she has a lot of success with girls.

Failing that I can point you in the direction of a femal dedicated forum on my other site which will give you a better insight

Something high in protein, with low-ish GI carbs (IMHO...)

Chicken and Rice
Chicken on Wholemeal Bread
Beef and Sweet Potatoe
Protein and Oat shake

etc etc etc

GYMBABE · 27-12-2007, 03:16 PM

GYMBABE · 28-12-2007, 08:02 PM

hi all another question for you

i am having my last meal in the evening at between 6-7pm. The last week or so i have waking up at 5am really hungry! Is it better to have another small meal before bed? is yes what is the best thing to have?

**Nytol** · 28-12-2007, 08:13 PM

Yes, have some protein and fats before bed, no need to starve yourself last thing at night.

This happens with me, I just wake up around 3-4am, down a protein shake and go back to bed.

Failing that, yeah sure you can have another meal before bed - just adjust your meal times.
