what do you eat daily?

[otter]

i have been pmed numerous times asking what my daily food intake well here is what i am currently eating i basically eat the same **** every day, as i am a creature of habit i tend to eat red 2-3 times a week . Tuna is a good choice, but i hate the smell,salmon maybe 3-4 times a week breakfast: soy and linseed cereal & skim milk soy & linseed bread banana protein shake and water lunch: red meat/kangaroo meat/fish/ckicken breast ( tenderloins) s & l bread banana/strawberries/apple salad/broccoli and 10-20 olives midafternoon: protein shake & water ( optional as i am skipping this lately) dinner: chicken/fish/lean red meat/kangaroo meat salad/broccoli and olives mid evening: chicken breast ( tenderloins) salad/broccoli/ 20 pitted olives bedtime: protein shake ( micellar) and skim milk 2 low calorie yogurts THIS IS MY LEANING OUT DIET i used to eat 6 meals a day, an extra shake,but have cut down to 5 meals if i want to increase my weight, i will add more complex carbs, good fats, bigger portion and some fruit nuts are calorie dense and are a great way to put on weight chicken tenderloins are very tender, and i usually buy in bulk the nutritional profile of kangaroo meat is very similar to fish, very low in fat

Isn't that alot of sugar for your bed-time meal? Skim milk & Yogurt I mean?

I don't know if we're all sharing here, but I will add what my diet looks like... I don't know if I'm eating the right stuff, or eating too often, or eating too much.

I'm basically 5'7 155lbs, I don't know what my BF% is, but I want to lean up, I've never had my abs show and I'd like to see em at least once in my life. I can lift OK for my weight. I also play racquetball for about 30 min after working out sometimes.

Bench press I can easily do 215lbs x 5 maybe a 225lb max?
Squat prob a 225lb max (I did 245 about 2 years ago) I've lowered weight to improve form.
Dead lift I've been able to do 225lb x 5, but I've lowered my weight to improve form.

On to my somewhat daily food intake, on the weekends this kind of changes a bit as I eat out more, but I generally try to stick to good eating.

Breakfast 8AM
Protein Shake- Skim milk, ON Whey Protein 1 scoop, 1 scoop of Oatmeal, 1 TBSP of nat. peanut butter, a pinch of flax seeds, 1/2 banana

Snack 10:30AM
A piece of fruit (apple or apricot), some cheese, maybe a couple of almonds

Lunch 12:00AM
Either a tuna sandwich on wheat bread, or some kind of leftover from last night's dinner, (turkey chili, chicken grilled with veggies... basically, some kind of protein, whole grains, and hopefully vegetables

Snack 3:00pm
Piece of fruit (apple or apricot), some almonds, maybe a small piece of dark chocolate

Pre work out protein shake 5:00pm
One scoop of ON whey protein and water.

Work out 6:30 - 7:30pm

Post workout shake 7:45pm

Dinner 8:00pm
Some kind of lean protein (pork tenderloin, lean ground beef, chicken, turkey or red meat), vegetables (green peppers, onions, tomatoes), 'good carbs' sweet potatoe or whole grain bread/pasta.

Bed time Snack 10:30pm
One grapefruit, 1 TBSP of nat. peanut butter, or maybe some almonds, maybe a small piece of dark chocolate.

It depends on the day. I'm getting better about it, but dinner always ***** me up.

Breakfast is consistently fat free unflavored yogurt with blueberries and granola.

Lunch is lean meat with some sort of cheese (roast beef with gouda or blue this week)

Post Workout is some sort of "gainer" protein mix with milk.


I need to get dinner and a my snacks figured out more consistently, because that's where I mess up if I do.

you seem to eat alot in one sitting, I don't know what your goals are, but you could probably take some of those things and eat them in between (if that fits into your schedule)

 

[jarude]

Breakfast: 4 eggs, 1/4 litre cottage cheese, 2 pieces of bread (~50g protein total)
Lunch: 2 cans tuna (~60g protein), quinoa salad (way better cold)
Dinner: chicken breast / ground beef (love tacos) / chicken stir fry / pot roast / basically any kind of meat that i have cooked + rice or quinoa
Before bed: 1/4 litre cottage cheese, tbsp flaxseed oil

This way I get my daily protein intake (~180/day) and just eat whatever when I'm hungry. Just dirty bulking and getting fat (5'11" 180lb), probably already have close to 20%bf and am just gonna eat like hell until May or so and lean out. Don't have the patience for a ketogenic diet. Like today, got a craving for lunch and had a box of kraft dinner with 2 weiners instead of my quinoa. don't give a **** rarrggh

I take a multivitamin, fish oil, and green tea extract in the mornings

I actually do spread it out more, I had the fish around 9pm, and eggs Ill eat sometime between lunch and dinner. I think though volumetrics works more for me where Ill not eat all day and then fill up all at once rather than eat a little bit at a time...either way works but its nice to get all bloated sometimes.

all this crap about not having carbs after a certain time is just that...CRAP

there are no credible studies that indicate why you shouldnt have carbs after a certain time

for my own amusement i tried limiting my carbs at night over a 8 week period , but kept my caloric input the same as when i had carbs at night...NO DIFFERENCE WHAT SO EVER


the reason you hear ppl say dont eat carbs at night is that they want you to limited caloric intake, thats all

i have maintained this eating plan for years, this is not a diet for me

sure i can cut out the yogurts and limit the olives...but i dont want to as i love them

i just make an allowance in my diet eg decrease portion sizes in other areas


BTW i have received numerous pms asking what cardio i do

i dont do any, i should for health reasons, but i control my fat levels purely by diet, and cardio will be incidental eg playing with kids and dogs, but mostly ******* my wife and going to all the swinging parties...now that is strenuous

IMPORTANT
some pple have trouble processing carbs, instead of using it as energy, it gets stored as fat. This can be tested for and changes in diet are required

 

[why]

How do I get tested for 'trouble processing' and storing carbs as fat?

[underwearer]

I stopped drinking water 2 months ago.

I found no difference except I don't pee as much and Im not bloated. I drink a glass or 2 of water with meals a day and thats it, maybe half a glass during workouts too.
