How's this meal plan?

[future_strongguy]

The order of the numbers goes Calories, Protein, Carbs, Fat. I weigh 150 pounds.

Meal 1:
Myoplex 300 42 19 7
2 slices bread 120 6 24 1

Meal 2:
Whey w/ milk 400 62 30 4
Peanuts 180 8 4 14

Meal 3:
Whey w/ milk 400 62 30 4
Plus something else random, like a turkey sandwhich.

Meal 4:
3 eggs 225 18 3 15
2 bread slices 120 6 24 1
peanuts 180 8 4 14

Meal 5:

Not here because it is different every day. I usually eat a lot of chicken, pasta and vegetables

Meal 6:

Whey w/ milk 400 62 30 4


Totals, without meal 5 in there:

Calories: 2325
Protein: 274
Carbs: 172
Fat 64

With Meal 5 I guess it would be about 3000 caloires, 320 protein, 210 carbs, and 80 fat.

How's that?

Oh, and by the way, is 70 g of protein too much for meal 2? What's the highest I should go on protein for each meal?

What are your goals?

Assuming your metabolism is average, that looks like the low end of a cutting diet.

If you're trying to put on muscle w/ trace fat, consume 20xbw = 3,000kcal

If you're trying to lose fat w/ trace muscle, consume 20xbw-500= 2,500kcal

You can eat a lot less, and you'll lose 'weight' quicker, but it isn't nearly as sustainable, as your metabolism will stall, you'll lose muscle, and you'll feel like ****.

Depending on how much activity you're doing, you should be consuming about 700cals more. When I was competing in tennis afew years ago, I was getting in about 4000kcals per day.

Right now I'm at 3,500kcal per day.

Eat more!

Actually its not that great (not bashing)

You need to get more of a variety in there of REAL foods. Dont just rely on shakes. I tell people this all of the time.

Second, you need more fruits, veggies, and I dont see a H20 amount, but keep hydrated.

Lastly... UP YOUR CARBS. They are WAY too low. I have more down now than you do in a whole day, and the day isn't close to over.

If you are gaining, then yes, you need more. But truth be told, the diet as far as what you eat is pretty bad. Shakes, bread, some peanuts and 3 eggs?

Fat is at 24.7% and I would shoot for 30%

And you are almost pushing 48% on protein. Even at 150lbs, 274g of protein is ridiculous (again my opinion). You need to lower some of that protein, and make those grams carbs first. I know, you are shooting for the 2g of protein. like everyone claims, (but me) but you lack the other two for OPTIMAL growth.

I'm trying to follow Anthony Ellis's original program. He says I should eat 18x bodyweight in calories. The goal is 2700 calories, 264 g protein, 210 g carbs, and 86 fats.

Should I not be following this? I rely on shakes a lot because I am in school for a large part of the day. I am literally making these shakes in the middle of class.

I'm pretty good on water. I am always drinking and need to go to the bathroom every 15 mins I also mix in vegetables and fruits with these meals, just didn't right them down.

Forgot to say, this is my mass diet. Also, can someone please answer the question on protein intake per meal?

2,700 may not be enough, and many people read Anthony's stuff, and quite honestly I dont know why he thinks 2,440cal is a MASS gaining diet. I'm sure most others will say the same.

Dont worry about how much is too much per meal, and dont concentrate on getting x amount of protein in per meal. JUST EAT. You could eat all protein and if you need more than 2,440cal or 2,700cal, it doesn't do a bit of good.

Just make sure you get everything in on each meal, except after your workout, dont take any fat in (a little is ok) but dont eat a PB sandwich or take in a Tbsp of oil.

I personally count CALORIES, and I focus more on my carb intake and I rarely look at my protein intake because I dont care. I know I get what I need and that's what matters. More importantly its making sure I get the calories in. I personally am about 1,000cal higher than you on my calories. In fact, my carb intake on the 7th was 429g of carbs
