5'8, 191lbs, 9% BF
Average day

Meal 1

150g chicken breast
200g pasta/spaghetti = 50g protein, 170g carbs
100g various veg

Meal 2

Protein Shake - post workout = 30g protein, 30g carbs
+ LGlute

Meal 3

150g lean steak
200g pasta/potatoes/ spaghetti = 50g protein, 180 carbs
100g ve

Meal 4

150g chicken breast
150g bread = 50g protein, 180 carbs
100g veg

meal 5

protein shake b4 bed = 30g protein, 30g carbs
+ L glute

+ multivitamin tabs
+ Vitamin C tabs
+ Vitamin E tabs
+ extra amino tabs

Total: 210g protein, 590g carbs
...................................

Thats my calculation, do these figures look correct?
Sometimes i split the main meals into 4, instead of 3, but roughly the same volume consumed either way
I dont really care about fat as i grow well with or without it TBH

Im looking to add maybe another 40g of protein, so any recommendations would be welcome,or just stuff i you feel would be beneficial, bear in mind i cant stand tuna anymore, and i also hate nuts (dont ask).

seriously, my shoe looks more appetising than any chicken breast these days

looks good to me

You ma be better off having the syeak before bed because its slow releasing protein mate.

You could also do with another couple of solid meals in there too mate.

**hackskii** · 23-08-2004, 06:11 PM

Are you going to cut or bulk?
Bulk you are ok but might need to add some fat in there.

If you are going to cut then do more fats and less carbs.
The ratio for eating to lose bodyfat would be 40/30/30 ratio.
Carbs to protein and fat ratio.
Your ratio looks like 60/30/10
1 gr. fat = 9 cals
1 gr. carb = 4 cals
1 gr. protein = 4 cals
1 gr. alcohol = 7 cals

I think you could add some nuts like Almonds to get the fat up and this is a good fat plus Almonds might be the best nut too. If you are concerned about salt get a low salt Almond.

so hacksi, how many grams of alcahol in a pint?

That would be the best diet ever!!!!
How does this look?

9:00 am- 5 shots vodka
11:00am- 5 pints of lager with an apple
1:00pm - 8 shots of rum
3:00pm - 10 pints of guiness
6:00pm - 5 shots vodka
9:00pm - same as meal 2.
i have the alcahol and calories and vitamins from the apple

Sorry to go off topic :(

Almonds and cashews are brilliant nuts, really good fats hiding in them little babies.

Something's wrong here ;). With each of these the combined weight of protein and carbs exceeds the total weight eaten!

I'm trying to remember numbers off the top of my head, but baked potatoe is I think at most 35% carbohydrate by mass, so 200g of potatoe would give you ~70g of carbs, not 180g. Have a look at the packaging for the values for your bread and pasta (they'll vary depending if it's brown or white etc.).

Edited to add: Oh, just wondering if the numbers you'd given for protein and carbs were totals for each meal, rather than just the line they were written on as I'd read it? Sorry if I was being thick :o. Potatoe does have about half the carbohydrate content of pasta though, so on days when you have 200g of potatoe rather than pasta in a meal you'll be having less carbs...

Looks good mate but I would switch meal 2 with meal 3 and make sure you add some light beer pwo.

ok cheers guys!

**Jimmy** · 24-08-2004, 10:53 PM

are those cooked or raw weights bud cos your calculations seem way off?!

**Jimmy** · 24-08-2004, 10:55 PM

If they are cooked weights, its hard to calculate as cooking can alter weight differently!!

Re post using raw/uncooked weights if you have time

Carnivore · 26-08-2004, 12:10 AM

no, its weight as seen on back of packet it came in, ive got no idea how much my steak weighs after its cooked!
Go on Jimbo depress me with the actual values of the diet.

winger · 26-08-2004, 02:23 AM

An average chicken breast (cooked) will be about 35 grams of protein.
Beef might be different because of fat and grisle.
I still think the beer pwo is good............works for me

Carnivore · 26-08-2004, 04:07 PM

well yea i was counting 150g uncooked chicken as 40g, with 10g coming from the spaghetti to make the 50g per meal.

winger i dont really drink, sad ainit

**Jimmy** · 26-08-2004, 08:29 PM

150g chicken = 33g protein

150g steak = 40g aprox

200g bread = 88g carbs

200g potato = 35g carbs aprox

200g pasta = 150g carbs (if your eating that much in one go then your a real man, a 200g dry weight of pasta, cooked up is a lot af pasta.

What is your BF? What is your weight?
