  5. Mark, don't know if Brett is going to be able to leave your "tossed salad" or "skirt steak" alone; nevertheless, 42 grams of protein in your Myoplex shake if I remember correctly. Be sure to factor that into your daily intake (remember each container is about 67 grams of protein) and I want you close to 220 per day. Also, no protein bars.

  6. Ant - I commented on your food from yesterday in the other blog... did you see it???

    ReplyDelete
  7. Brett... perfect but lose the polaner all fruit fairy. Next thing you know you and Mark are going to be tossing each others salads and looking under each other's skirt steaks. Have you read his menu yet? LOL - you guys are doing great for real. Keep it up and great workout today!

  8. Barry - good, you are not eating as much as I would like (you need one more protein and one more carb) but for you it's not bad based on your size etc and you are keeping the ratio of macro-nutrients where I want them. If based on what you are eating you are feeling full at end of and during the day then keep doing what you are doing... if not you need to put in another protein and carb - try to have all your carbs consumed before 6 p.m.

    Tom,

    The turkey sausage was 17g protein/8g of fat. I totaled 6 links today for 48g of fat, add 15 from the almonds and its 63g of fat for the day. I got 'shadybrook' turkey sausage, i don't know if its the best, let me know what you think, or if you recommend a certain brand.

    Thanks!

  19. Joe - still need more protein... food choices are great. How many egg whites are you eating in the morning and how many grams protein in the shake?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Lloyd - you are eating like a bird bro... are you hungry during the day and at night? your food choices are fine, but in general not enough carbs or protein. Let me know if you are feeling hungry during the day and I'll adjust.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Frank - protein look good, you need one more small serving of fruit and one more complex carb... A good pre-workout meal is: 2 slices of ezekiel bread with very little (1/2 serving) of almond butter. Post workout meal as we discussed. Lose the coffee my man... then your headaches will go away for good. Keep packing in the veggies.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Nick - macro-nutrients just about perfect... eat more often if possible and LOTS of veggies. No dairy. Also, try to get most of your nutrients from actual food instead of supplements.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Santo - pretty good... fix the following:
    1) Pre-workout have the 2 slices of Ezekiel bread with a little almond butter (1/2 serving) instead of the Dream Protein with banana... I do that shake for breakfast but I'm consuming it at 5:00 a.m. and not working out until 7:00 a.m. (you are likely having that around 6:40 a.m.) so, just stick to the Ezekiel bread with almond butter and wait to have the dream protein shake with banana after the workout.
    2) Try not to have carbs after 6:00 p.m.
    3) You need a bit more protein; so use either 2 scoops of Dream protein in each shake or pack yourself another protein container each day.

    ReplyDelete
  24. neal - another great day and yes a good idea to read the label for turkey sausage. will look into brands for you (i don't eat it very often)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ant - read what I wrote Santo about pre-workout meal and also do not eat carbs past 6:00 p.m. What protein drink are you using and how much protein per serving? Remember, steal cut oats only eat 6 ounces instead of the full 9.5 ounce container. Otherwise a pretty good day.

  26. Tom: Where you suggest purchasing Greens First and Dream protien? Thanks

  27. protein shake last night was scoop and a half.
    was hungry last night wanted more cards but it was late when I ate. will try adjusting today, containers should help

    ReplyDelete
  28. Lloyd - you need to eat more food (another serving of protein per day for sure and another carb). I don't want you to feel hungry, but I also don't want you to feel "stuffed" - 3 containers protein and 3 containers carbs... I would rather you eat too little carbs than too little protein.
