I ask for your comments about my daily plan. If any of you have suggestions I would love to hear them.
My day consists of:
-breakfast
-after workout shake
-lunch
-snack
-dinner
For breakfast I eat 3 or 4 eggs, a piece of fruit, a handful of raw nuts, and lots of water. If I run out of eggs, I sometimes substitute a piece of steak, chicken, or pork leftover from the previous night's dinner. With breakfast I take Nature's Plus "Source Of Life" Adult Chewable plant sourced multi vitamin AND Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 1000mg fish oil.
I typically do a rigorous workout 2 hours after breakfast.
Within 30 minutes after my workout I make a smoothie with Isopure whey protein (50g protein, low carb), 1 tsp L-glutamine powder, about 1/2 lb. of berries, and 1 cup of almond milk (or some other non-dairy beverage that's NOT soy).
For my afternoon snack I have been eating a piece of fruit and a Pure Protein brand protein bar (32g protein).
For both lunch and dinner I cook either 2 pork chops, 2 chicken breasts, 2-4 tilapia filets, a large salmon or sea bass filet, or a decent sized piece of lean beef steak. With each meal I will steam a large quantity of a vegetable and eat it with ground pepper or tabasco sauce. These might include squash, zuchini, spinach, brocoli, asparagus, turnips, or carrots. I tend to cycle these meats and vegetables throughout the week, so I get each kind of veggie or meat at least once if not twice per week.
I either grill the meat outside OR cook it in the pan with a tbsp of ghee or coconut oil. Most of the time I eat them plain, but occasionally will add pesto, salsa, or marinara. I never eat battered or breaded meats.
Once per week I will sautee large portabello mushrooms with garlic and onion in olive oil and serve that with my chicken, and drown all of it in Seeds Of Change marinara sauce. That's my little treat for myself.
Each night about an hour or two after dinner I make myself a large cup of hot green tea. If I need a random snack throughout the day I keep tons of extra fruit and nuts around. I am might randomly eat these when I am hungry, but often keep myself satisfied from plenty of food in the 3 square meals.
So, please rate my diet and let me know if you would suggest a different protein shake, protein bar, order of eating items, timing, more supplements, etc.
