And kudo's for saying you are willing to pack lunches, so many people use the excuse of not being in control of what is available. At breakfast add 1 egg and 4 whites, scrambled. If you can sneak in a snack mid-morning, that would be ideal. Something small like a protein bar or string cheese sticks. PACK YOUR LUNCH! Whole grain bread (the first ingredient should be 100% whole wheat flour, no corn syrup or stuuf you can't pronounce), a little mayo, chicken breast or turkey breast (deli is okay), lwettuce, a side of vegetables, carrots if those are the only ones you like, broccoli/cauliflower if you will eat them, have them with a little dip if it helps. At 2:40 have some protein - cottage cheese (I prefer 1%)is a good choice. After training get a protein shake in within 1/2 an hour and you should see a difference pretty quickly. You can get protein powder most places now - look for whey protein. At dinner - lean protein (check the post in the nutrition forum 'grocery list for a bodybuilder'), vegetables, olive oil, sweet potato or baked potato, or brown rice. You could have cottage cheese before bed, if you are hungry. Good luck! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

This leads to a lifelong practice of good health and vitality. His willingness to do so is a giant plus. Proper diet is always essential. Asimmer is right. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2004/04/16, 11:08 AM The diet I am sugesting is in no way strict. eating a healthy diet is different than eating a strict diet. Not eating crappy, low quality foods isn't strcit, it is healthy. And the earlier you start on a clean diet and cut out junkfood, the healthier you will be the rest of your life. I often wish someone had told me at a much earlier age how to eat better and exercise properly, imagine how huge i would be now!!!! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.
