Sport overwhelmed...

Sport Fitness
ok so im pretty new to the whole 6 meals a day thing and what i need to be eating to build muscle. so right now im feeling REALLY overwhelmed with all of the info that im taking in. is there anyway to pace myself with all of this, and ease into it?
 
Yes there is. Add a meal to your daily routine and then another in a week or two. This will help you get accustomed to it.

As far as eating better foods, start eliminating the garbage and replacing it with better choices. Breakfast is especially important.

Post a sample diet and someone will give you some ideas for better choices.
 
OK i found this in another thread.

this is my planned schedual beginning tomorrow. i thought i would see how it sounds to ppl who know what theyre talking about, and not just me.

6:00-get up eat something small to start metabolism (banana or something).
Its better to eat 1 and a half to 2 hours before your workout if possible. This way you have time to digest the food, but if you cant you cant.

6:30-workout

7:30 (post workout)-protein smoothie

10:30-breakfast (oatmeal or whole wheat toast maybe, and some milk)

Change your 7:30 and 10:30 feedings around like i did here. Protein shake post workout and then oatmeal and milk at the next meal. Oatmeal and milk is a great idea for breakfast i add trail mix, blueberries and chocolate protein powder to mine, but post workout you want simple sugars (like gatorade or a banana) and a fast digesting protein like whey powder.

1:30-lunch (whole wheat sandwich maybe)
Good as long as its lean meat and have some veggies or fruit with it and maybe milk or nuts.
4:30-protein smoothie
This shake does not have to be fast acting at all. You can add any or all of these and what ever else you wish as long as its good stuff. Protein powder, oatmeal, eggs, milk, fiber supplements, berries (frozen or not), bananas, peanut butter, yogurt etc.

7:30-dinner (whatever the fam is having. usually not too unhealthy)
Meat, complex carbs, veggies.

These are just sugestions and you will want to ease into this. i would recommend some kind of fiber supplement (pysilium fiber husks or metamucil) and lots of water as well.
 
im probably going to workout in the afternoons instead of morning, so how would you change that to an afternoon workout instead of morning? also, im finding it hard to get in 1g protein per pound that i weigh (im 165), cause thats 33g per meal (for 5 meals a day). thanks once again for all of your help,

Just make sure you have the protein shake with simple carbs post workout and make sure you eat 1.5 - 2 hours before your workout. Also try to eat breakfast.
 
Try adding a handfull of nuts, trail mix, milk to a couple meals or maybe a hard boiled egg. That should help you get more protein.
