Is this good enough eating?

[future_strongguy]

I want to gain weight.

It's hard to eat 6 meals a day because of school, but on the weekends, I try to eat 6 at least one of the days (Saturday is my free day so I don't eat six).

I just take the meats I cooked the night before, and eat as much of it as I can for every meal. I try to eat carbs only in the first 3 or 4 meals, and then cut them off for the day.



Schoolday diet:



6:00 AM)

-Beef with veggies

-oatmeal, ganola bars, and/or bananas and apples.



12:30 PM)

-School lunch, which is usually some kind of chicken sandwhich from a fast food place (next month I am going to bring my own lunch to school, which will be beef/veggies - I'll deal with the chicken sandwhiches for now since I already payed for it)

-granola bars, bananas, apples, etc.



3:00 PM)

-3-4 boiled eggs

-more carbs



6:00 PM)

-Beef with veggies



9:00 PM)

-Grilled chicken breast

-1 tbsp flaxseed oil



I drink some kind of carbohyrate drink after my workout (forgot the name of it) that gives me something like 80-100g of carbs. I usually workout after my 3:00 meal.

Also, I don't want to take any protein shakes. They make me want to use the bathroom every 30 mins, which makes me very uncomfortable at school.


Is this good enough?

ANd whats wrong with a shake before and after a workout? Go to Trueprotein.com they have a whey shake that causes little to no gassy sideffects and what not.

I work out either after my 3:00 PM meal or after my 6:00 PM meal.

As a previous shake-maniac (drinking up to 4 shakes a day), I am through with this stupid stuff. I no longer drink milk or shakes, and I will only eat solid food (man food!). No more creatine, glutamine, or vitamin C. The only exception will be my quick carb drink, which I take right after my workout.

how much do you weigh? BF? How much of each food are you eating? What are the totals for each macro? How many meals do you miss a week? Have you been gaining from it? Whats your training look like?

 

[future_strongguy]

I weight 155 lbs. Since doing this, I have been gaining about 1 pound per week. I don't know how much body fat I have, but I can barely see my abs.

I'm not sure how much I am eating in terms of the beef, but I think I'm getting about 200-250g of carbs per day. For ever meal, I take the meat I am eating and eat as much of it as I can (with the exception of the stupid school meal I get, but that will change next month), then I grab some carbs and eat some more.

This is what I eat monday to friday, with no exceptions or cheat meals. On Saturday I take the day off, and eat whatever I want, and on Sunday I throw in an extra meal of eggs or beef, since I don't have school.

I don't understand the question "What are the totals for each macro?"

I do Stronglifts 5x5, and I play tennis.

Schoolday diet: I'VE PROVIDED SOME OPTIONS AND SUGGESTED SOME CHANGES


6:00 AM)

-Beef with veggies ALSO GOOD IS A 4 EGG OMELETE WITH VEGES AND MEAT SUCH AS BACON

-oatmeal, ganola bars, and/or bananas and apples. GRANOLA BARS HAVE A LOT A BAD SUGARS IN THEM GENERALL - AND COULD MAKE YOU FAT, I'D STICK WITH A CUP OF OATMEAL WITH FRUITS SUCH AS BLUEBERRIES, APPLES, BANANA'S AND YOU CAN ADD ALMONDS




12:30 PM)

-School lunch, which is usually some kind of chicken sandwhich from a fast food place (next month I am going to bring my own lunch to school, which will be beef/veggies - I'll deal with the chicken sandwhiches for now since I already payed for it) CHICKEN SANDWICH ARE USUALLYFINE AS LONG AS ITS NOT FRIED WITH TONS OF MAYO - I WOULD SAY FOR ANOTHER OPTION YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF A SHRIMP OR GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD WITH OLIVE OIL AND VINEGAR

-granola bars, bananas, apples, etc.



3:00 PM)

-3-4 boiled eggs

-more carbs
**************
IF THIS IS WHERE YOU WORK OUT, YOU SHOULD HAVE 50-70 CARBS BEFORE YOU WORK OUT SUCH AS BROWN RICE OR POTATOES - YOU COULD PROBABLY LEAVE OUT EGGS FOR NOW - SUCKS TO WORK OUT FULL
**************

YOU NEED TO HAVE A POST WORKOUT MEAL AFTER YOU WORK OUT, NOT JUST A CARB DRINK

---30 MINUTES AFTER CARB DRINK

THIS IS WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEF, VEGES, AND /OR EGGS + FISH OIL CAPSULES + POTATOES OR RICE



6:00 PM) MOVE THIS HOWEVER FURTHER YOU NEED IT SUCH AS 7-730

-Beef with veggies



9:00 PM)

-Grilled chicken breast IF 9 PM IS WHEN YOU SLEEP THEN THIS IS PERFECT

-1 tbsp flaxseed oil, GET FISH OIL CAPSULES AND TAKE THEM HERE TOO

**********GALLON OF WATER A DAY*********

Is this good enough?

RESPONSE IN CAPS

 

[future_strongguy]

Thanks for the reply. Some things I'd like to say:

-I don't wanna get fat, so adios to the granola bars!
-The chicken sandwiches I eat are always grilled.
-I don't work out right after I eat the eggs. I try wait as long as possible, so the minute I get home I'll be right on time for my next meal. So it looks more like this:

3:00 PM) Eat
5:00 PM) workout
6:00 PM) Get home and eat (this meal would be my carb drink with my beef)

-I'll get some carbs in before I workout as you suggested
-I'll get some fish oil capsules
-I definitely drink about two gallons of water a day. I think I get in almost a full gallon before school is finished.
-I sleep at 10:00 PM
