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.
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.
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.
