good food list

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/stella9.htm

very rough ideas for making a meal plan

5-6 meals a day every 3 hours. for most ppl this comes out to 1 meal before work or school, 3 meals at work or school and 2 meals after.

breakfast: oats, eggs, milk, fruit

lunch and dinner: chicken or lean red meat or fish or turkey with sweet potatoes or yams or veggies or brown rice

mid morning and mid afternoon snacks: pop top tuna or chicken, nuts, fruits, sandwiches, jerkey

before bed: cottage cheese, natty or almond butter, milk
 
abear,

How many times have you posted this link... :confused:
I'm guessing you'll do it again and again and again and.... :p


IceCast - Don't take that as a flame...this is just a very common thread question.

I started at 5'8'', 155lbs. I ate the following for 3 weeks, working out 5 days a week, and Im now 165lbs.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal, 4 eggwhite ommlette with spinach and tomatoes, whole wheat toast, protien shake.
Mid morning snack:
turkey sandwich on whole wheat, apple or banana, water
Lunch:
Half a chicken, 2 cups rice, carrots or other veggie, almonds, dates, and raisins. Water.
After work:
Can of tuna, yogurt, fruit, water.
Dinner:
Steak, fish or half chicken, half of a large yam, one cup spinach, or other veggie, whole wheat roll, glass of skim milk.
Before bed:
Protein shake.

It was extremely hard to eat this much at first for me, but after the first week or so, I was actually sneaking extra snacks between meals. Im amazed at how much food I can actually put down in a week now.
 
I"m gonna quote your meal plan, and mark my changes in bold.

IceCast said:
Breakfast: 1 cup uncooked oatmeal, cooked (basically 2 servings)
5-6 egg whites w/1slice of cheese/little milk
slice of wheat bread w/grape jelly
Snack: Whey protein shake of 30g protein - add some carbs (you 'could' still eat your PB & J sandwich)
Lunch: Pasta usually where's the protein?
Snack: a can of tuna, a cup of brown rice, and veggies of your choice
Supper: Chicken "Meats and Vegetables" - If this is some processed 'tv dinner' type meal, skip it. all of those are crap food, loaded with sodium, fat, and HFCS. most of the protein is gelatin and thus incomplete and mostly uselss
Snack: Bannana and low fat Cottage cheese, a whole cup.

Basically you're not eating enough (your 120lb 72" tall frame is evidence of this) and you're certainly not eating enough protein, and instead are loading up on carbs.
 
Guess i dont eat enough but ?

This might sound stupid but.........what r egg whites? like last night i fixed 3scrabled eggs......is that the same thing as whites?

also i tried something new that was pretty good for a snack...
toasted wheat bread, spreaded peanut butter on top, poured some syrup and topped it off with a lil cinnamon......tasted great!
 
Egg whites are eggs without the yokes. You know how if you cook an egg, the yoke is yellow and the rest is white? That's right, egg whites.

You crack the egg, and separate the yellow yolk from the clear 'whites'.

Also, syrup is BAD. Anything which has High Fructose Corn Syrup as one of the top ingredients is bad...and syrup (as well as soda pop) is primarily HFCS. HFCS is like sugar on steroids...it jacks up your insulin levels, and a lot of nutrition experts think it's the reason we're seeing so many overweight teens with Type 2 Diabeties.
I tend to shy away from any bread...its processed flour, which digests fast, spikes insulin, and doesn't do you any good in a cutting phase. For the same reasons I limit my pasta intake to 1-2 meals per week, and I get the whole wheat pasta which has a little more fiber.
 
Help?

hi, well I'm fifteen. I'm 5'5 and I weigh about 97lbs. my BMI is 16- something. I'm REALLY skinny. Always have been. and I'm SICK of it. I've never tried a diet because I really don't have time. I have No time in the mornings to eat breakfast; school doesn't provide foods that someone can gain weight with since that whole "students obese because of school-food" thing, and my mom and brother by low-fat foods because they happen to be Heavyset. Is there anyway for me to get to a Safe weight or am I basically screwed?
 
Tell them that low-fat foods are not the way to go about it. Explain your diet situation to them, they should really be eating the same foods as you, just less of it. Make your breakfast the night before with your lunch for the next day as well. It's really not all that hard, you just have to be dedicated. And if you aren't dedicated, you are on the fast road to nowhere buddy.
 
When I bulked I ate this: This is roughly 3300 calories, 230-250 grams of protein and god knows how many carbs

Meal 1- 3 eggs, 2 cups of milk, 2 cheesesticks
Meal 2- 2 peanut butter and jelly sanwiches
Meal 3- 2 cartons of milk, (add whatever is 200 calories here)
Meal 4- Post workout- protein shake, detour protein bar
Meal 5- 8 oz of chicken
Meal 6- Tuna, Yogurt, 2 cups of milk, 2 cheesticks
Snacks: Yogurt, fruit, soup

I gained some serious weight eating that, 17.7 pounds in 5 weeks . But I think that was just me.
