My new lifestyle - by PK

[slaughter]

i dont recon i could handle it anymore, im just really sick of it, yeah been eaeting it just by its self, i just need a  change is all, itll be my first meal after training as well (after my shake as well)

What do you think?>

[Ruys]

That's completely understandable mate. I know what it's like to look at something and really not want to have to eat it.

I personally like tuna and basmati rice after training because I find it nice and light. Unfortunately I don't eat a lot of low carb meals so I don't have much input to give you. I'll have a think about it. 

[slaughter]

i was thinking maybe some yoghurt or something? and some fruit? really need some protein though, i guess yoghurt has that though?

what about a glass of milk?

[Ruys]

Yeah yoghurt is not bad but be careful of the ones with added sugar. Adding any fruit to this meal will bump the carbs up pretty quickly but seeing as it's your first meal after training it might not be too bad.

The only other thing I can think of is nuts. Almonds and cashews are really nice and have good protein and fats. You could maybe add a small amount of fruit to balance out your ratios and make a nice little meal.

[slaughter]

yeah i already have raw unsalted cashews and i normally eat them with the cottage cheese maybe swap out the cottage cheese for yoghurt (natural) and still with my 20 or so cashews?

[slaughter]

I revive this here thread!!

Slaughter is back!!

[Ruys]

Good to have you back mate!

Hows everything going?

[slaughter]

hey Ruys, not bad mate, still plotting along. How is things with you?

[Ruys]

Yeah really good. Have a squiz at the last couple of pages of my log in the training logs section. I've put on a fair bit of beef and am in the process of dieting down for a couple of shows in October.

Have you been training much?

[slaughter]

Hey mate, ill check it out!

Yeah mate been getting into it a bit lately. www.powersportsclub.com.au is my new gym. Just trying to eat clean and get rid of the coke, sugary foods etc.

Feeling better already.

[slaughter]

Currently eating

Breakfast - 2 whole eggs 2 egg whites, Small can of baked beans, 2 piece of wholemeal toasts, either 3/4 glass of milk or applie juice

Meal 1 - Either 30g of brown rice and chicken satay (half a breast) OR 30g of wholemeal pasta in weight watchers alfredo sauce with half of chicken breast

Meal 2 - Same as Meal 1

Meal 3 - Two whoemeal rice cakes with natural peanut butter and a Banana

Meal 4 - Dinner - Steak/Chicken/Fish with vegies and sometime pumpkin

Meal 5 - Glass of milk and slice of cheese before bed

What you recon? Its definitely yummy

[Ruys]

Not looking too bad there mate. The only thing that really caught my eye was the alfredo sauce. Even though it has weight watchers written on it I can almost guarantee it's bad for you. I'd stick to tomato based sauces with as little artificial crap and sugar in it as you can. I make a sauce with a bit of garlic, onion, chopped tomato from a can and some fresh basil and it's really nice.

The only other thing would be the slice of cheese at night. I wouldn't be too worried if it was just one little bit, but I know sometimes one bit turns into four and that's not something you want right before bed.

[slaughter]

Hi thanks for the tips mate,

Yeah, I kinda knew it wasnt the best pick, but its easy and thought it would be better then some of the other alfredo sauces. Ill try and change the sauce to something more tomatoey thanks.

Do you think its enough pasta/rice or not enough? I dont really feel hungry at all.

I only ever have one slice, but i can defiantly drop it no problems at all, what do you think?

Do you think it would be a issue, not having much protein with my rice cakes, peanut butter and a banana? (planning on swapping banana occasionally for a apple as well)

[Ruys]

I'm assuming 30g is the weight before cooking? It's a pretty damn small portion but if you're not hungry after those two meals then it's fine. I personally am eating about 100g dry with lunch at the moment and it a pretty decent serving. You're having two smaller meals though which to be honest is probably better.

How much chicken or steak or whatever are you having with meals 1, 2 and 4? That will determine if you need to get more protein in at meals 3 and 5.

[slaughter]

Hi,

What I do is, I cook 6 chicken breasts and then up being my 5 meals, mon,tues,weds,thurs,fri. Then at work i just eat half of that meal, then the other half later on. I use a weight watchers alfredo sauce, which says it serves 2 , i use that for my 5 meals (which end up being 10 meals)

I dont really feel that hungry, its a small meal, but I think I might up it to 50g.
