[40 cent]

howdy peoples,

 

im competing in a few months and i thought it was about time i got down and serious with my diet. i'll give you all a look at my workout program once i write it out. but yeah here's what im thinking for nutrition:

 

Breakfast:

 

Multi Vitamin, zinc tablet

 

yoghurt

 

cereal

 

glass of milk

 

Brunch or whatever its called:

 

Pasta with a tablespoon of olive oil on it

 

bannana, apple

 

100g tin of tuna

 

lunch:

 

something, hopefully not junkfood

 

tea:

 

meat and 3 veg

 

i plan on drinking no less than 8 glasses of water per day. im 18 and a little underweight. i just want a diet that makes me feel better and gives me more energy, im training regurlarly, problem is, i work nightshift which inst to good for the health. anyways, give me your opinion on that diet, any feedback is much appreciated, feel free to recommend additions/deletions etc

 

thanks

It looks good...I'd probably add a small snack after lunch, and another after dinner (or tea).Just eat every couple of hours to increase your metabolism. And make sure its not "junk".

um, two snacks, im thinking of adding in maybe some nuts in what spot? what do you recommend for the other?

[WolverineGuy]

well...I usually eat at least 2 cans of tuna per day...you can't have too much protein, ya know?

Just a suggestion: if you have no idea what to snack on, and instead of eating a crummy meal, buy some milk and bananas, and protein powder. Mix one cup of milk with one scoop of protein powder, and one banana in a blender. That's about 30-40 grams of protein and low in calories. A good quality whey protein is good, and lowfat or non milk. That drink can sub for any snack or meal instead of you going and grabbing ANYTHING just because you're hungry. It's cheap, and relatively low in calories.

GNC 100% Whey is cheap and good. That's about the only thing I'd reccomend from them. I get most of my supplements off of bodybuilding.com
