hey , about this diet could you define the servings i should have on the bolded parts?
Breakfast - 3/4 cup oatmeal, 3 scrambled eggs, water
Meal 2 - 1 can of tuna fish made w/ veggies +1 slice whole grain bread
Meal 3 - Salad with grilled chicken
Meal 4 - 3 hard boiled eggs +2 oz cheese + veggies
Meal 5 - 40 gram Protein shake
Meal 6 - 1 cup 2% cottage cheese with mixed nuts and cinnamon
also for the post and pre shakes, what do i add to them ? is water and 2 scoops all i need ?
and for the shakes that i replace meals with, is blue berries + peanut butter + milk + banana + 2 scoops enough to use it as a replacement ?
also , if i start doing 30-40 minutes of cardio every day is that ok ?
also , is their a difference in nutritional value between the way i cook / make eggs? if i make scrambled over boiled is their a difference or does it stay the same ?
also, is it TOO MUCH if i do, 2 shakes with 2 scoops whey , with water only, then 1 shake with berries, banana, milk , peanut butter etc, and then 1 more shake + water after working out ? so 4 shakes + 5 meals. because like i said, i have work sometimes and usually for 4-5 hours i cant eat. So if you could custimize something for the days when i have work that would be great, something like.
Meal 1 - 3/4 cup oatmeal, 3 scrambled eggs, water
Meal 2 - 1 can of tuna fish made w/ veggies +1 slice whole grain bread
(i can get those 2 meals in before work , 2-3 hours apart but then i go to work)
Meal 3 - ?
(get back home)
Meal 4 - ?
Meal 5 - ?
Meal 6 - Meal 6 - 1 cup 2% cottage cheese with mixed nuts and cinnamon
(i don't go to workout right after i get home either, i usually wait until later on in the night so if i can eat the meals later on in the day then its ok, but you said dont eat carbs after meal 3)
also i know HIIT is supposably the best for weight loss, but i plan on doing Hip Hop Abs workouts for my cardio, if you know what that is. So is it ok if i do that 5-6x a week + my normal 3 days of working out ? or is that over working myself.
veggies = as much as desired.
2 oz of cheese is usually approx 2-3 full deli slices of cheese.
pre and post shakes are mixed with water only. The post shake is mixed with water but you also need a sugar to go with it...preferably waxy maize, but if you don't want to go that route just drink grape juice immediately before drinking the shake.
yes, the shake you mentioned is fine for a meal replacement.
yes 30-40 mins a day of cardio is fine to start.
eggs prepared any way...doesn't matter which as long as they're cooked.
yes that is too many shakes. You need to eat every 2-3 hours which translates to 6-7 meals per day (including shakes as meals)
that means you are approximately 2 meals over where you need to be. Maybe lose the pre-workout shake.
Figure out your diet accordingly, you should be able to make necessary adjustments. I recommend no more than 3 shakes per day (assuming you are having 3 additional food meals to go along with it)
