Is it enough? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Rosko · 22-10-2007, 10:20 PM

I'm not looking to get huge weight gains overnight, i know that aint gonna happen but is this enough to make sure there is enough in me to grow:

Meal 1, 7.30am - Porridge, banana and shake

Meal 2, 10.30am - 3 poached/ scrambled eggs & spaghetti on 2 toast
or 4 egg and ham omellete (is that how you spell it?!)

Meal 3, 2.00pm - 4 egg omellete or pasta with tuna/ham/chicken.

Work out 4.00pm

Meal 4, 6.00pm - Ham/ tuna/ chicken salad sandwich and shake

Meral 5, 8.30pm - Whatever mum cooks!!! Usually a good meal of meat
and veg

Meal 6, 10.30pm - another sandwich or bowl of cereal and shake.

What d'ya reckon? i know i probably need more but not sure what or when.

how much do you weigh? you probably need more if you're under 13 stone.

Looks Ok, lots of room for improvement though. Plenty of eggs in there which I like. Is this what you've been eating?

As Warrior said - stats would be useful.

I would say you need to be eating alot more if you want quick weight gain!!

Unless you weigh 10 stone now ?

TH&S · 23-10-2007, 11:01 AM

What shakes are you using?

How much Protein/Carbs/Fats do you think you are getting?

Whats the weights of everything in each meal?

I'm 11 st 4 at the moment and the shake is a muscle and weight gainer from holland and barret i picked up coz they're half price!!!

I'm not looking for quick gains as such, just want to know i'm puuting enough fuel in the engine!!

I know i probably need more, is it simply a case of increasing the portions or adding a couple of specific meals during the day?

Bulldozer · 23-10-2007, 07:44 PM

How many calories a day is that bud?

It dont look like enough to me still

Con · 23-10-2007, 07:45 PM

You need some fruit in there buddy and more veg.

Meal 2, 10.30am - 2 poached/ scrambled eggs - Add 3 or 4 egg whites to this

Meal 3, 1:30 pm - pasta with tuna/ham/chicken + Veg - peppers, cucumber, tomatoes

3:30 Banana or Apple + 5-10g BCAAs
or
A serving of whey with some natural peanut butter

Work out 4.00pm

PWO Shake 5:00. 40g Protein & 60g WMS (waxy maize starch)

Meal 4, 6.00pm - Chicken, Rice and plenty of Broccoli and green beans

Meral 5, 8.30pm - Whatever mum cooks!!! Usually a good meal of meat
and veg (guess you can't really choose here. Aim for around 40/40/20 split of low GI carbs, proteins and fats)

Meal 6, 10.30pm - Bowl of oats and some cottage cheese + some fish oils

This might give an idea of some changes you could make. I'd introduce it slowly and be careful with portions.

Cheers boys, you're a big help!! I kinda knew i would have to eat a bit more but compared to what i used to be like (9 st about 2 years ago!!!) is seems like all i do is plan what and when i'm goona eat next! Guess i just gotta chow down a bit more! Oh well, worse things in the world than having to eat more!!

I'm sitting here asking you guys about a healthy diet watching UFC 77 with an ice cold Becks next to me!!! The irony is classic!! thing is i never drink in the week but i swear as i closed the fridge i heard it whisper ''i'm real cold, please drink me!''
