As I have stated elsewhere I have just returned to training after close to a 4 year layoff.Just finished up my second week of training.I am 6'2" tall & I estimate I am 180-195 lbs.I actually think I may be at the low range of them #'s.Here goes....
#1-I take this when I wake in the morning usually between 6-7 a.m.
A shake containing:
2 scoops whey protein
8 oz. 2% milk
2-3 whole eggs
1-2 tablespoons omega 3-6-9 omega fats
1 banana
1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter
This tides me over till breakfast when I eat:
#2-1 Spanish omelet:Contains tomatoes,green peppers & onions & 2 whole eggs
1 banana or green apple
1 bowl of oatmeal w/a 1/4 cup of 2% milk
1 glass 2% milk
After this I hit the gym for whichever bodypart I am training that particular day.After my training is done I immediately take:
#3- Protein shake which contains:
2 scoops whey protein mixed w/
8 oz. of Gatorade
After this I head for home whereupon a half hr - 45 minutes later I eat:
#4-I usually make myself 1 of 3 different meals at this time which is:
3/4 cup of rice
8-10 oz lean beef/steak
2/3 rd cup mixed veggies
Now, in place of the lean beef/steak I at times will replace that with a chicken breast or I will take a can of tuna & mix in 2 tablespoons mayo & chop up a stock of celery & a green pepper, mix it all together & make 2 sandwiches w/that using 2 slices of whole wheat bread that I prefer toasted.The rice & veggies are a staple in these meals & doesn't change unless I feel like a baked potato in place of the rice.After this we get to meal 5 which is:
#5- Same as meal number 4 but usually change it for a change of pace depending on which I have eaten previously. After this we get to #6 which is:
#6-Whatever the wife has made for our evening meal.Now if it is a pasta dish or something I feel doesn't have the protein in it I need I will make myself a whey protein drink mixed only with water to go along with it.
#7- this meal will be a repeat of meal #'s 4/5
For water intake I have a Prolab shaker that measures out to 750 mls.I will fill & empty that shaker usually 6-8 times per day or more.At times I have a hard time to eat like this as I have to force feed myself but I usually get er done.In the evenings if I get hungry I will usually snack on nuts or beef jerky (if I do snack at all) if I have any.If not veggies can satisfy my cravings.At times in the evening if I awaken (fairly rare) I will make myself a protein drink just using water to mix it with also.
Soooo, what do you ppl. here think of this diet & any suggestions on or if I may need to tweak it? Thanks a lot.

I think he means ml....if not that's a ton of fluids. That's over 1500 calories of Gatorade & over 3700 calories of milk.

No princess I have nothing against veggies but as I stated I have a hard time to force feed myself & find that just the right amount for myself.I have them veggies w/3 of them meals.On some days I may have more & as stated at night I will usually snack on veggies.The 2% milk I just like using as a change of pace in my protein drinks if I don't mix them w/just water & the glass for breakfast is to help wash down the breakfast itself.As for the gatorade?Well after my training I feel it is one of the best ways to get simple carbs shuttled to the muscles that are starving for them (that "window of opportunity" you may have heard of?) & the only time I use the stuff.My goal at the moment is just to get back into shape fitness wise but I usually down the road will start to want to gain weight.Not that I won't on this diet I feel as I am what most ppl. call an easy gainer.if anything at the moment i'd like to maybe get to 200-205 lbs which is usually easy for me to do & later after that decide from there.BTW i am a diabetic since last time training & right now am seeing just how my body will respond w/this difference in my body.

It would be funny watching someone trying to drink 250 ounces of milk in one sitting.
-
Yeah it would be a blast.Cool I could & did edit my post.Guess i'm not as idiotic an internet user as I thought I was.

I think somebody could do it, but the resulting buttwater would be diabolical.

Gee, no replies as to if good or not!Not really worried as it must be working.The wife was telling me I was gaining weight but I didn't believe her as she sees me in my b'day suit every day :D. Today my mom in law saw me & she mentioned to the wife that i've gained weight from last time she saw me & in the gym today that I go to, the gym owner/friend of mine said I had gained since i've started 2 weeks ago also.We are very critical of each other also!At times when he critiques me I wanna just hit him so bad but then again he probably feels the same when I critique him :D.
