What is your bodyweight/height?
How often are you training? Do you gain weight easily? I am a hard gainer/ectomorph. If I dont eat like a horse I lose weight and strength fast. I go by the suggestion of about 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. Frequent small meals to keep metabolism up. Has been working ok for me so far. I would literally pass out if I ate what you ate and attempted to train like I am now. I need the extra fuel but some people can get away with less food.
I’m 188cm and 73-75 kilos (depending on the time of year) but can probably drop to about 70 if i do tempo regulary.
I do speed and weights on Mondays and Fridays. Speed only on Wednesdays and tempo on the days following speed.
I plan to take Surge directly after weights on Monday and Friday ,postponing dinner for an hour.
Are u getting any greens / salads Thor ?
I’d have the fruit for breakfast and a glass of skimmed milk at least as a post recovery drink , which would also be a good time for honey if ur gonna have it .
How about adding some flax / fish oil twice a day and / or some nuts at breakfast .
I’d die on this amount lol - I eat similar if not greater amounts than Chris and I’m still 75 kg lol
scuse me - u posted while I was writing - surge is a great idea
Not much muscle yet though ,but the strenght I had in my youth are slowly returning. I believe I can get a decent power to weight ratio in a couple of years but I am looking to add some bulk to my legs.
you need to at the minimum, triple the amount of protein you are taking in. also you might want to consider some better choices for protein, cold cuts/sausage aren’t the best way to go. you also need to change up the carbs. bread definitely needs to be replaced & the fruits you do eat (apples & bananas) are probably the 2 fruits you want to limit as much as possible. look into getting some flax or fish oils because you have virtually no healthy fats in your diet either.
Gloopzilla , vegtables/greens is something I’m looking to add ,probably starting with dinner.
The fruit in the evening are a buffer against the candy/liquorice craze I get when training hard. I hope taking Surge will diminish it a little.
Regarding bread I actually used to eat it in the evening too. I’m looking to replace my two slices of honey pre-workout (but the breakfast will stay) perhaps with something rich in protein?
How about this:
ca. 09.00 Four slices of bread and a glass of milk.
ca. 12.00 Pre-workout meal - protein-rich.
ca: 15.00 Surge
ca. 16.00 Dinner - Less sausages more chicken breasts! Some vegetables.
Hey Thor, dont you become extremely hungry through the day?
I’m 192 cm and 83 kgs. (still have a lot of muscle to build)
and this I eat on a normal day:
10.00 : 200 grams(4 slices) of bread with cheese/ham/strawberry jam/leverpostei/etc etc + glass of milk or fruit juice + protein shake (30-40 grams)
Training -
13.30 - Oatsl or some “corn-mix” + some fruit (banana) + protein shake 30 grams
17.00 - Dinner - everything from fish to chicken to pancakes.
20.30 - Oatsl or some sort of corn mix
00.00 - 200 grams(4 slices) of bread with cheese/ham/strawberry jam/leverpostei/etc etc + glass of milk or fruit juice + protein shake (30-40 grams)
I only eat vegetables with dinner… how does this sound compared to Thor’s food-intake ?
i weigh around 225lbs right now, here was my day:
7:15am - 2 whole DHA omega 3 eggs/5 regular whites
half of a red pepper & 1/2 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup oatmeal (not instant)
grapes
9:30am - heaping tblspn of natural peanut butter
10:30am - 1 can tuna in water
pineapple
1:15pm - 1 cup of cottage cheese
blueberries
4:30pm - 16oz chicken breast
1 cup whole wheat pasta
cucumber/mushrooms/carrots
7:30pm - 1 can tuna in water
cucumber
10:00pm - 1 pouch of tuna in sunflower oil
almonds
its tough for me not to eat in between meals, so when i do its usually blueberries or vegetables. i eat about 3 full size cucumbers a day & 2-3 peppers a day. for those wondering my grandpap has a garden about the size of half a football field (no pesticides either).
