Are you doing anything for healthy fats? I’d throw in some Carlson’s fish oil if you aren’t using that already. Those meals look pretty tasty! Curious on Spongy’s opinion.
Hey man, sorry I just saw this. I definitely have some tweaks coming for you. Great work so far!
Gimme a bit to work something up.
Yea I'm doing a multi, 2150mg of liquid fish oil, and 5,000IU of D3 every morning.
Checkout Jin’s threads on fish oil. He’s sponsoring the half-gallon a day protocol. (12 grams I think)
I haven’t gone that high yet but I do 4 table spoons of Carlson’s a day. That’s probably around 8 grams. Good stuff for those of us who are cardiovascularly screwed.
Ok, this is just something I threw together really quickly between chores without taking into consideration when you lift and what muscles are worked. I typically have my clients rotate diets 3-4 times per week depending on what muscle groups are/aren't worked that day. This is a good overall diet that you could do every day and have good success.
Couple of critiques:
Drop the Body Fortress, that protein powder is trash and the company is being sued for Amino spiking and false labeling. I know it's cheap, and I get that.
If you need something high quality check out MyProtein. I use them and AtLarge Nutrition and those are the only two I will endorse. MyProtein is cheaper but it ranks as the number 2 protein based on lab tests by Labdoor.com in terms of quality and label accuracy.
If you want to give them a try shoot me an email and I've got a code that will give you a discount on your first order. I'm loving the Salted Caramel Isolate I'm using right now.
Drop the russet potatoes for now
Stay away from packaged foods like your rice mix and your alfredo thing
