Hey all, well I decided that would quit buying whey protein due to the fact that it's quite expensive and that I must pay my student fees for University. So, I was wondering if you guys could tell me if my diet's protein content is sufficient enough for my workout goal.
Here it is:
Breakfast
1 large egg with 1 egg white
1 large bowl of whole wheat cereal with plenty of 1% milk
Brunch
1 piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter or almond butter
1 yogurt and/or 1 glass of 1% milk
Lunch
1 chicken breast
150 g of whole wheat rice or pasta
1 serving of spinach or salad
2 glasses of water
Mid-Afternoon Snack
Half a cup of Cashews
6 Walnuts
12 almonds
1 Avocado
1 slice of whole wheat bread
2 glasses of water
Supper
1 can of tuna
1 slice of whole wheat bread or 1 serving of pasta
1 serving of salad and other greens
2 glasses of water
Pre Workout
1 Banana and 250 ml of 1% milk
1 yogurt
1 glass of water
Post Workout
2 Glasses of milk with whole wheat cereal
1 and a half cup of 1% cottage cheese with whole wheat crakers
------
My Stats
Height: 5 feet 8 inches
Weight: 150 pounds
Goal: increase in muscle mass while remaining lean
------
Well here is it guys, I replaced whey protein with milk and other dairy products. Obviously my meals tend to alternate everyday, for instance, I often replace chicken with red meats and tuna with salmon, but the protein content is always about the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I am very sorry for the rather long post.
