I have been on SL for about 7~8 weeks now. Happened to miss a workout today, so I have the time to ask this question. My nutrition.
I have read through the 8 nutrional rules over and over, but I don't seem to be getting it.
here's my diet:
Workout days (MO/WE/FR):
(0700 + 0800)Breakfast : x2 eggs (half-boiled, w/ yolk) + 2 pancakes
Snack 1: <Nothing>
(1300)Lunch: Rice + chicken/mutton/fish + some veggies/potatoes + 1 fruit
(1700 or 1800)Snack 2: Chicken sandwich (home made; i.e. 4 slice bread + 4 slice chicken (off the shelf and boiled))
<workout>
(2130)Dinner: Family meal* + 250ml milk
^I usually eat dinner about 1 hour after gym, due to traveling time back home.
Rest Days (TU/TH/SAT)
(0700 + 0800)Breakfast: x2 eggs (half-boiled, w/yolk) + coffee
Snack 1: <Nothing>
(1300)Lunch: Rice + chicken/mutton/fish + some veggies/potatoes + 1 fruit
(1700 or 1800)Snack 2: Nuts (cashew nuts, peanuts etc...)
(2100)Dinner: Family meal* + 250ml milk
Sunday (lazy day):
Breakfast: Bread/bun
Snack: <Anything>
Lunch: Lunch: Rice + chicken/mutton/fish + some veggies/potatoes + 1 fruit
Snack: <Anything>
Dinner: Family meal* + 250ml milk
*Refers to anything that is cooked at home. Usually Indian food such as naan, chapati or some other food with carbs.
I am still in school. 1.7m and 62 kg (that's about 136 pounds). Not sure of my fat %.
I usually cannot get any protein for Snack1 as I'll be in school. I was thinking of whey, but felt that I should get my diet and lifting proper, before I made any investment in a supplement.
I could really use any help at all. I feel that my lifts are being affected by my poor nutrition and is affecting my growth. I did not eat healthy growing up, but I need to change.
