Sure I could be a god guy and look it up elsewhere but figured I'd ask; Daft you had said you had been eating like you were training for the Olympics.

Pretty tight budget.

Stevie me no pro but this is what The Daft does

Stevie I buy a lot of cage free/local/organic stuff that can get pricey but just buy the local supermarket stuff if the budget is tight

Wake up: piece of fruit and an espresso

2.5 mile run

Breakfast: 6 egg white omelette with a half slice of American cheese and a piece of dry rye toast. Half cup of apple juice with 2 multi vitamins and an Omega 3/6/9

mid morning snack: carrots with hummus and a protein shake

Lunch: Chicken breast/brown rice and brocolli (another mulit vitamin and another Omega 3/6/9

Post workout protein shake ( I like the Jay Robb chocolate one)

Dinner: More chicken or sushi/sashimi (rough on the wallet) with brown rice (smaller portion than lunch) and a steamed veggie)

Desert: Skinny Cow makes some nice deserts. Or just chuck down some low sodium ham/turkey (one more multi vitamin)

If you have some regular desert it won't kill you if the portion size is small

Daft is hiring a nutritionist to plan out meals worth it?

With this deep understanding of the GL forum and the foresight to post this, I now nominate you for "super pro poster" status.

 

[Herman]

nope

why not

 

[Fu Manchu]

use common sense. and google.

 

[Blitty]

Are the multi-v's like One-A-Day ones, yet you take 3 of them? Did you read somewhere that is more efficient?

 

[Tron]

Yeah don't pay Herman

Use google and Daft

People always want to pay to lose weight/gain muscle. Money won't do it. Discipline will get you where you need to get.

 

[Herman]

ok daft be my nutritionist

i need stuff that is easy to cook and like 3,000 calories a day maybe? i need to gain 20 pounds, and i run 3 miles every other day

help me

 

[Fu Manchu]

your mom isnt cooking for you these days?

 

[Tron]

Blitty they make 1-a-day ones too and I'm sure those are fine but I buy the ones where you take 2 with breakfast, 1 with lunch and 1 with dinner to spread it out. I don't take any multi's on Sunday to give my body a break

 

[Mrs. X]

I agree with Daft minus the multi vitamins and espresso. Although I used to have a real addiction to coffee so to me espresso=heroin. Probably most people can handle a cup of coffee.

 

[Tron]

Herman not now cause I'm goin to bed soon but remind me tommorow.

Herman make boneless, skinless chicken and egg whites your friend pal.

 

[Herman]

Ah, gotcha..what brand are yours?

 

[Tron]

Yes it can be argued that multi's are a waste of $$$$. I'm not scientist enough to know the truth so I just take them. But yeah there is a ton of doubt out there as to the effectiveness of multi's
