what is a good general diet?
Ive been reading a lot abuot working out and dieting. Im just trying to find the best thing for me, and what not to do. Basically im trying to lean up and lose some body fat%.
ive heard eating carbs after lifting weights is good. what kinda carbs, and why is it good?
fruits and yogurt-good for snacks?
right now i just eat 3 meals a day, with fruit or yogurt as snacks inbetween. i usually grab a meat, and 2 veggies, if one is corn, or a veggie and a small carb. im military deployed to middle east right now, so i dont have a lot of choice in what the chow hall serves for the day. breakfast is usually eggs, bacon, maybe a pancake or a french toast slice, yogurt or fruit. and ive only been drinking water, no juice or soda. probably drink about 8 a day.
anybody have some good tips for me as to post workout, or definite nono's? thanks! | | Reply » what is a good general diet? |
first thing I notice is that you need to be eating more frequently. 6 meals a day, every 2.5-3 hrs.
check out the reply I just gave on another thread.. should be of some help.

as for post workout, you need to be getting in some fast absorbing protein and carbs. whey protein (0.4g/kg bodyweight) and dextrose for carb source (0.7- 0.8g/kg bodyweight). ala is a great addition to that as well. if your taking creatine or glutamine, that would also be the prime time for it. drink this IMMEDIATLY after training, NO FATS. and then 1 hour later a whole food meal consisting of lean protein and complex carbs, again minimal fats in that meal.

im going to make a list of whats available to me at each meal, by the way im working midnight shift, so my breakfast is dinner at the chow hall...
breakfast- usually roast beef, baked chicken, or some type of broiled or stewed meat dish.
white rice or pasta
gravy
mashed potatoes, or some type of cubed potato dish
sometimes there is spinach, or broccolli or cauliflower
various frozen veggies (corn, carrots, peas, succotash)
hamburger patties
pizza, onion rings, hot dogs, fries... etc.. (fast food type shit)
salad stuff
lunch- left over dinner or AM type stuff
dinner (AM)- scrambled eggs (i think its egg beaters or something)
hard boiled eggs
bacon
pancakes, or french toast or waffles
grits or oatmeal
gravy
biscuits
cereal
milk, water, fruit, yogurt is always available.
out of this, ive been eating veggies, fruits, yogurts and meats, soemtimes oatmeal (is grits the same carbs?) these meals are only available at AM, noon, PM, and midnight (im alseep during noon meal). should i maybe take hamburger patties to eat between meals or what for extra protein? there is no protein powder available here. basically im stuck with what they got at the chow hall.

today example: for dinner (my breakfast)- baked chicken
mixed veggies
about 10pm- chicken strips
then i went to the gym about 1230 and grabbed some food on the way back to work. 2 2egg plain omlets and a hard boiled egg, i ate an omlet and the egg. i also got spinach, 2 slices of wheat bread, and 4 mini things of smuckers peanut butter. that i plan on eating in about another 30 minutes. then for breakfast ill prolly get scrambled eggs and maybe a slice of bread or oatmeal... is that decent? its really hard to do much, i dont have access to oil and pills and stuff like that for extra protein etc... ahhh!
