I'm not hungry most of the time. Plus I've been sickly. I'll try to eat each meal with a protein and fat combo each time.

high fat diets do satiate you better but you must eat..

 

[KarmaSutra]

MEAL 1 - Eggs and bacon

meal 2 - jell-o cup

Hey man, its lookin a little better each time i see the diet.

The best strategy I have for eating well at each meal is to thwart the problem before it starts. When I go shopping, I buy my protein and fat sources then, so when I eat, there's never any question as to whether I'm doing it right or not.

Seriously, shop for the right food and planning meals will be dead simple.

 

[KarmaSutra]

Good tip :rockon:
One lesson I've learned is to never shop when hungry.

Hey Karma, I'm probably off on this...but I remember reading somewhere that McD's and BK add a lot of fillers to their beef. That filler could have bad carbs or something, that I don't know. I've always stayed away from it.

Anyone know about this?

 

[Warboss Alex]

Karma - you are still not following a structured diet condusive to muscle gains and fat loss dude.. You need a source of protein with every meal - you're still eating jello, vegetables and peanut butter for meals.. hit up the protein powder if you can't eat fish, meat or eggs for a meal.

Lose the egg whites, eat more eggs!

Mr P - I doubt that fast food burgers are premium quality meat but as long as they're not a staple they can be used to bridge a gap now and again.

 

[KarmaSutra]

Then I'll chug down a protein shake every meal which I don't already have a meat.

Today:

meal 1 - Slept when I got home then cooked for Turkey Day.
Turkey, Ham, cream cheese corn, green beans with bacon.

meal 2, 3 and 4 will be the same.

 

[shaunuk]

Make sure you add a fat source to the protein shake, i.e. 3-4 eggs or 1-2 table spoons of olive oil

Keep up the hard work mate.

I'm not going to post my workouts anymore. I'm on a good 3-4 day split routine and I'm passionate about it. I'll still post my diet.

meal 1 - 4 eggs, bacon

meal 2 - I made homemade meatloaf with chuck, italian sausage, fresh tomatoes and some ketchup on top as a glaze.

meal 3 - turkey tetrazinni (turkey, onions, beans, corn, carrots and tossed in a chicken base.)

 

[Warboss Alex]

if you are happy with your routine stick with it although if it's the one you post it's not optimal by any stretch of the imagination (for strength/muscle gains) but just for fitness it'll do.

as for your diet, after your next weigh in have a couple of cheat meals (whatever you want) then factor in a weekly cheat or carb meal - as you lose weight you can increase these.

btw go all the way down on squats.
