Weekdays (Monday - Friday) (5 meals) 6 AM / 9 AM / 12:30 PM / 4 PM / 7 PM
Weekends (Saturday + Sunday) (6 meals) 7 AM / 9:30 AM / 12 PM / 2:30 PM / 5 PM / 7:30 PM

Weekdays: 6 AM - Cooked meal, ranging from brown rice with chicken breast to brown rice and fish etc. - 700 calories
9 AM - Turkey breast on whole wheat bread, I have no idea how much calories is in each turkey breast serving I take so I will guess 100 calories, therefore total calories is - 280 calories
12:30 PM - Grilled chicken wrap - I also have no idea how many calories this have, so this is another guess, I would say 450 calories? + I also have 1tbsp of peanut butter on whole wheat bread. Total calories - 675 calories
4 PM - This is a time period I have to eat something I can eat while working at the same time, but I only take in 1 peanut butter sandwich (whole wheat bread and the pb is 1 tbsp worth) at the moment at this time - 225 Calories
7 PM - same as 6 AM - 700 Calories


Weekends: I just plan on eating 6 meals of whatever I cooked, as I do not go out on weekends. I am not saying I will never go out on weekends, if needed I will.

Let me calrify, I HATE my schedule (I have to sneak in my 4 PM snack etc.), I really need portable food ideas to help me even out my 5 meal a day weekdays to around 500-600 calories each meal. junkfoodbad, another member told me I can eat peanuts as their healthy, heavy in calories and easily gobbled down to make up for lost calories. Do I have to take in raw peanuts that are scooped up in pounds from grocery store containers? or is there a convenient brand name kind in containers like Planters unsalted or something? I also have no idea how many I need to take in for whatever caloric intake if I buy them scooped from containers.

I don't have a blender, so I can't make shakes. I have no idea what to put in protein shakes either, and I heard protein shakes daily becomes expensive.

I cannot do 6 meals a day on weekdays, I wish I could, but I can't. My 9 AM works, because pretty much everyone in the office is eating some kind of breakfast, and at my 4 PM, it's easy to chow down the 1 pb sandwich as it's an "on the go" snack.

I am generally looking for miracle portable food info (like the peanuts), that can help me make up lost calories during my meals I gave an outline of above.

Thanks for any help.

P.S - Oops, I forgot to say I am bulking, and I know a range of around 2500 may not be enough for me. I am a 5'10 20 year old male. I really do not know my weight. I have a muscular build, but I'm kind of skinny....guess would be 130-145 lbs.

you don't need a blender to make shakes. a simple $3 shaker cup and a decent brand of protein will mix up in 15-25secs of shaking.

i see way too much bread. i'm not a fan of bread..even whole grain bread is still very processed.

nuts are high in fat, thus high in calories in relation to serving size. almonds are a little better.
when I buy nuts, I put em in a ziploc or gladware container, and eat a serving at a time...leaving them stashed at my desk.

You really need to find out about that turkey breast...it sounds like deli style turkey breast, which will have more fat and carbohydrates than breast meat sliced right off the breast of a whole turkey (like lots of deli meat, they process scrap breast meat into turkey loaf, and then slice it off so it looks appealing again.)

all in all I've seen much worse diets...you're on the right path, but I'd substitute something like oatmeal or another serving of brown rice for one of those bread meals. like the afternoon PB sandwich. have some oatmeal and a protein shake instead.
 
Iwillgetripped,

It sounds like you are looking for a way to eat "nutrient dense" foods that are also convienient.

First, let me tell you why peanuts and peanut butter are not the best choice for getting this done (then I will invite you to consider new options)...

Peanuts are very high in fat indeed, and I LOVE fat! The problem with the fat found in peanut butter is that it is high in Omega 3's. If you are unfamiliar with what this means, essentially you are setting youself up for a host of issues that most american will suffer from (diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc.).

Next, peanuts are often high in fungus. This makes it a highly allergic food as well as a source of micotoxins. Essentailly you may end up with a trashed digestive tract that will not absorb the foods you eat efficiently... thus you will NOT gain the mass you are after!

Enough about Peanuts... what CAN you do?

First I would suggest the use of raw, organic eggs... if the thought of this makes you squimish just begin slow. Boil you eggs less and less every day until you are brave enough to swallow them raw. The reason you want to begin adding raw eggs to your diet is 1) it is fast and easy 2) it is JAM PACKED in all of the stuff you need for mass and strength... nothing is better, especially any man-made whey crap 3) cooked eggs do not contain the heat sensitive enzymes that are essential to assimilation. Dont worry about salmonella... just make sure you are using organic eggs! Ive been using raw eggs for 4 years and have never had a problem.

Next, I would go to and order some beef jerky and pemmican. These are high in protein and good fat from grass-fed cattle. If you are confused as to why I suggest so much meat and saturated fats you may want to check out my book at , just sign in and you will be taken to the page.

Your problem is not unique, we all suffer from a lack of nutrient dense, REAL foods that are fast and easy. contact me with further concerns elliott@primal-edge.com

Click to expand...

actually there are only trace amounts of Omega3's in nuts, Omega3's are found primarily in fish, nuts are rich in Omega6's
 
Sorry, I screwed up... it IS the 6's that are in peanuts and 3's in the fish. The over abundance of 6's in our diets have lead to inflamitory disease.

Thanks for the heads up junkfoodbad! Proof reading is a good idea.
 
Thanks for the info everyone, but I have to come to realize that my best bet would to make protein shakes for myself. They are quite possibly the most convenient thing I can probably use at work.

What are in protein shakes, is there a universal popular recipe, or is it just mixing in protein foods with water?

I can acquire a basic blender for myself for around $20 I believe, and prepare my shakes to take to work.
