in place of black beans you can go with 2oz cheese

as far as an alternative to casein from cottage cheese or a shake you could try 12 oz whole milk + mixed nuts

raynor, if i were to eat 10 eggs a day, everyday, and drink a gallon of milk a day everyday, eat 7 - 8 slices of whole grain bread, eating 3 - 4 apples, 1/5th pound of celery sticks dipped in ranch. Do the starting strength 3x5 program. Would this be a good diet for me to grain some strength?

I know what i'm asking is prolly ridiculous, but i honestly have no time to cook, my schedule is full because of school.

Avocados, butter, heavy cream, olive oil, nuts, nut butter, coconut butter, fish oil, flax oil, sour cream, etc.

Just add servings of those to each meal.

Ex: Sour Cream chicken w/ melted cheese.

or

Ground beef on a salad w/ o oil and avocados

Replace black beans with 2 oz of cheese.

Replace 1 can of tuna with 1 chicken breast or 5 oz of lean steak/beef or 3 eggs + 2 oz cheese

replace cottage cheese with casein protein shake

Hey there, I understand your problem.

Yes you could eat 10 eggs a day, 1 gal of milk, 1 loaf of whole grain bread, 3-4 apples, and half a pound of celery sticks w/ ranch and technically be in pretty good shape macronutrient wise. A bit high on the saturated fats though...might want to use 2% milk as a result.

Just make sure to take a multivitamin(NOW! Adam or CL Orange Triad) and supplemental vitamin D-3(2,500 iu / day) and Vitamin C (1,000mg 3x per day)

hmm, a single 500 mg is like like 833% of what you need according to the vita C bottle i'm looking at, why 3 times per day for 1000 mg? but yea, if you say it works, then thats prolly what i will do + the taking the multivitamin.

would also recommend taking 3 fish oil capsules a day?

also, about the 1 gal of milk, i dont plan on drinking any water, as the milk would prolly provide me with enough, is this ok as well? or do i still need to force down some water?

Hey there.

First of all, NEVER listen to the FDA requirements for anything. According to them, your diet would be approximately 75% carbohydrates with no more than 60g of protein per day....truly laughable.

Anyway, 4g of vitamin C a day has been shown to greatly increase immune function, anabolic function, and recovery.


As far as water goes...I can not stress this enough....YOU MUST DRINK AT LEAST 1 GALLON OF WATER PER DAY IN ADDITION TO THE MILK!

Milk does NOT COUNT AS WATER.


For ease of use, just buy 1 gal jugs of Zephyrhills spring water or Crystal Springs Spring Water (about $1 a gal) and drink 1 gal each day throughout the day. Instead of carrying around a little 12 oz bottle like regular people you will carry around a 1 gal jug like an animal.

oh gosh lol, my friends will laugh at me for carrying that, but who cares, i'm willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done haha. Anyway, so 4000 mg of vita c is equivalent to taking 8 vitamin c pills a day? also 1 pill of centrum multivitamin is good enough right, or should i take more?

this will also prolly make me wanna pee every 10 min haha 2 gallons of liquid going down my throat.

also to make sure, so 7 pills 500 mg of vita C + 1 pill of multi vita + the above diet wont have any negative effect on my health right? Not questioning ur judgment, but I never heard of someone taking sooo much vita c in a single day.

Sorry for the double post, but before I quit lifting a year and half a ago, i had a 1 rep max of 185 for bench, 265 for squat, and 335 for deadlift, 130 for overhead press. I got those by lifting for 1 year.I weighed about 152 pounds back then. height = 5 feet 8

Right now, i weigh 145 pounds, but the numbers for my lift are much lower. I also didnt really watch my diet too much while i lifted back then, basically ate a lot, or tried to eat a lot.

My body type is a ectomorph aka hard gainer. If I do this, should I expect to gain back my strength fast and gain much more strength? in ur opinion, if i persist for say 6 month under this diet plan and workout plan, what numbers should i be proximately looking at?
