What sort of training are you looking at? I lift myself so i gotta start buying my own s***. my mum gets cut after i finish a dozen eggs in 2 days LOL and tells me i eat too much. Shes right, but you gotta eat if u wanna get big.
Your typical meathead lifting, it used to be a lifestyle to stay healthy but then the kids and the marriage .. so over the past 5 years I've packed on 70lbs that I now need to work off. I only started 3 weeks ago.
Breakfast: Omlette - 1 whole egg, 3 whites, low m.f. cheese, fat free chicken & green tea w/ 1 tbs honey
Morning Snack - yogurt, apple or banana
Lunch - tuna sandwhich (fat free mayo) on flaxseed bread w/ lettace
Afternoon Snack - white almonds and tbs all natural peanut butter on flaxseed bread
Pre Workout - shake w/ glutamine (whey protein)
Post Workout - shake w/ glutamine (whey protein)
Dinner - 1 chicken breast, 1 cup of brown rice (every other day something w/ red meat)
If I feel I'm getting hungry a hour or so before bed I try to eat something small, usually just another yogurt. Then before I go to bed I take a Casein Protein shake.
For the past week I've cut out soda and any extra salt / sugar that isn't needed and I'm only drinking water. I drink about 4-5L of water a day now. The kids really wanted to make brownies yesterday so I did .. and had one, but that's literally the only junkie snack I've had in almost 2 weeks and I felt guilty about it. Which is also what I need, I've lost my willpower and when I start to feel guilt about eating that means I'm starting to give a s.h.i.t. again. lol.
I gotta try and eat strict to shrink my stomach and kick start my metabolism again, once the metabolism starts up and my body gets used to burning fat rather than storing I can start eating a little more slack.
Biggest downside .. I get up to pee about 3 times a night now. lol.
I'm also not working right now, I got an MRI on Saturday to see wtf is wrong with my back .. which is really why I started this all again, I gotta drop weight to see if my back problems will subside, an obvious observation by many.
