I've recently switched over from the 3 meals a day to the 4-5 meal plan and so far it's been good... but there's always room for improvement!
Breakfast:
(biggest meal of the day, right after 1 hour of morning exercises)
2 scrambled eggs (ketchup or hotsauce on top)
2 fruits (Banana, apple, orange, or grapes usually)
1 cup yogurt
1 8 oz glass Gatorade
1 8 oz glass water
1 8 oz glass 1% milk
Lunch:
Varies between 1 chicken breast, spaghetti w/meat sauce, or if all else fails a cheeseburger (All of them have similar carloies)
1 salad, no dressing (lettuce, carrots, tomatoes)
Approx 1 cup of rice or cooked vegetables
1 8 oz glass Gatorade
3 cups of water
Mid-day Meal
1 granola bar (Quaker)
1 piece fruit (Usually an orange)
1 1/4 serving Muscle Milk (water)
Dinner
Pretty much the same as lunch
Pre-Workout Shake (Muscle milk full serving, with 3 cups water)
Post-Workout Meal
3 cups brown rice
1 cup steamed mixed veggies
Dab of soy sauce
3 cups of water
This diet puts me at roughly a 200 calorie deficit according to my ballparked RMB and my estimated calorie burn during my 2-2.5 hours of exercise Mon-Fri. Is there any way I could improve this?
