Hi,
I finished cutting recently (started in mid february and dropped my body fat to 9 percent - I'm not sure what it was before) and I am looking to gain some more muscle mass. My workout routine is good and has been working well for me, but I want to make sure that I am eating the right types of food to help me gain some more muscle.
Today, for example, I ate:
meal 1: 1 cup orange juice, 1 bowl of oats with skim milk (sprinkled with walnuts and raisins)
meal 2: 1 blueberry bagel (no cream cheese), 1 turkey sandwich (no cheese or sauce), 1 bag of lowfat popcorn, 1 cup of skim milk, 1 apple
meal 3: reduced fat chicken strips on two slices of whole wheat bread
meal 4: skim milk + 1 scoop of whey protein power
meal 5: 1 97% fat free turkey hot dog on a whole wheat bun, 1 cob of corn (no butter), a scoop of pasta and tomato sauce from last night's dinner
meal 6: 1/3 cup of egg whites (egg beaters) and 1 apple
Although this is only today's diet, it is pretty representative of my daily food intake - am i undereating / overeating? Is there anything that I should cut out or add? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
