and that is pretty much my eating plan Monday-Friday. Am I not getting in enough calories? Should I add some snacks in there?
Thanks
Umm your eating is pretty good but i'll only put in how I would change it
Breakfast...oatmeal is great, if you want to change it up you can try organic oatmeal and flaxseeds which is made by this company called greenway, it's pretty damn good. But I can't mess with orange juice at all because I have a bad acid problem.
Lunch...I would ditch the wrap, that enriched wheat flour is gonna slow you down...I can only speak from experience but I gave up 90% of foods that contain enriched wheat flour and I stopped feeling sluggish. I would just eat some rice, maybe brown rice, or cous cous or quinoa, your good on your vegetable medley but I would ditch the propel. I would trade your breakfast oj for water and drink oj with your lunch because its a bigger meal and the acid from the oj will help break down the meal faster for absorbtion.
I do preworkout meals about 2 hours before my workout which usually is vegetables, beans and rice and some chicken with water. Its not a big portion either so that It gets digested faster because I dont want it to zap energy i need for the workout
After the workout though I really cant just eat a banana, I would eat those eggs from the preworkout meal as part of my post workout meal because they are a slow digesting protien which will help me through the night as I sleep, with some vegetables and some rice or cous cous for carbs...you need those carbs.
I would def add some snacks between each meal, like some almonds which are great for energy, or like me I eat sun chips when I'm at school although it might not be the best snack its still some needed calories.
SO, you eat 5 meals a day (including your pre/post workout meals)?
