	2004/09/30, 01:58 PM I'm not sure how to decide when I'm eating enough unless I add up the calories and look at the macros. -------------- I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol Charlie

Again what exactly are you trying to do just stay in shape for cheering or to get cut or gain mass what? that info would be helpful! -------------- LIFT HEAVY!

	2004/09/30, 02:13 PM I still don't see how you can annalyze your diet without adding it up. -------------- I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol Charlie
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/09/30, 02:19 PM Some relitive strength gains and size would be nice, however I don't think I can do that, and cheer at the same time. I'm just looking to graddually get stronger. I don't mind losing body fat, but I don't wanna lose muscle, AT ALL...........so am I eating enough? basicly maintainance, with gradual gains I guess. -------------- ......quote the Andrew....nevermore

rev8ball Posts: 3,081 Joined: 2001/12/27	2004/09/30, 04:08 PM I don't think you're taking in enough overall calories at all, in regards to any of the macros. I'm almost twice your age (with a slower metabolism as a result), not as active as you, and 20 lbs lighter, and I still eat more than twice as much. Maybe you're still burning off baby fat, but in order to gain strength, you're definitely going to have to up those numbers. -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/09/30, 05:26 PM When I first glanced at this post, what I saw was your impatient response to your original post, and only glanced at your original post. Thought you had actually listed your diet with calorie amonts, etc. This is where some time should be heeded to analyze a personal diet. Without this, I am in complete agreement with Charlies reply....I don't see how you can possibly analyze a proper diet with no information as to calories, macros, etc.:big_smile: -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/10/01, 12:42 PM well thanx again guys, and sorry for being impatiant...........my only prob is, I have no access to microwaves or anything so what I carry has to be ok to eat at room temp. And I really don't wanan carry a cooler around full of sandwiches and junk. I don't know what else I can carry around besides.... nuts p/b sandwiches ham/ turky sandwiches w/cheese I'm runing out of ideas by the way this diet is only for 3 days mon, wed fri when i'm at school. Other four days, I am able to eat ever 3 hours. Good meals that is. I thinks thats the only thing saving me lol -------------- ......quote the Andrew....nevermore

jonathanweaver Posts: 576 Joined: 2004/06/14	2004/10/01, 02:34 PM I cook chicken breasts for dinner, leave the leftovers in the fridge overnight in Tupperware, then take them to work and eat some at 10-10:30, and again at 1:30, leaving for the gym at 2:30. I don't usually refridgerate the chicken breasts during the day, and they taste just fine to me. Just an idea. I've learned lately, that a lot of different types of leftovers taste just fine cold. Also, if you have access to water, take some meal replacement bars or protein bars with you. They are small and filling.
