so im only eating 2 meals a day is this bad? or if i keep my protein intake high enough could i keep this up
ne help would be appreciated
What exactly are your goals? Im not really sure what you were getting at… That was quite the run-on sentence … nah seriously though, 2 meals a day is not going to cut it. Post a sample day what you eat cuz I wasn’t really sure what you were saying…
sry i was in a rush
wut im trying to do is lose body fat but still keep my muscles in an anabolic state, but im afraid it mite not be healthy to only eat 2 meals or i mite not be gettin enough protein or losing energy

protein shake (nitrotech)
3 chinken breasts
salad
a couple handful of almonds
a bowl of steamed brocolli
a yogurt
an apple
a big ass bowl of oatmeal
and some beef jerky
Meal 2 at 7:30
protein shake (myoplex)
a steak
a bowl of fruit
steamed spinach
a couple handfuls of peanuts
baked beans
spaghetti with sauce
yogurt
10 p.m.
protein shake (nitrotech)
Maybe take the protein shakes seperate so you can turn the 3 meals into 5 meals?
That way it will be 5 smaller meals as opposed to 2 larger and 1 smaller.
Also that way your body will use the food for energy instead of it being stored as fat.
ya i see wut ur saying but i dont want to eat anything before the first workout so i can burn more fat and then when i need to take my pre workout drink i need to have an empty stomach (which i take at 3:15) so i dont see when i could put them in
Just because you don’t eat in the morning doesn’t mean that you are burning more fat during your workout. You may even be hurting yourself more than helping. The amount of fat burned is determined by the type of workout that you do. If you do not have enough glycogen for your workout, your training intensity and power output will suffer. Fat may produce about 3 times the amount of energy as carbs or protien, but it takes a while for it to be converted into energy. Put on some muscle to raise your metabolic rate and you will see the fat start to come off quicker than it would by starving yourself in the morining.
Also, try splitting up your meals. You are eating a huge amount of food at one time, and the body will only take what it needs from it. I don’t know how much you weigh, but both of your meals are stacked with so much protien that you just piss most of it out. Learn the right times to use protien and carbs to optimize your diet and lose the weight.
