So.....What is your Daily Food Plan?

[pushme]

Thought it would b interesting to know what eachother eats per day, like what foods, when, how much etc

so we can compair, learn and help one another!

I've been going to the gym for two years and have put on 25kg by eating nothing out of the ordinary.. lots of bread, weetbix, eggs, etc. just shows that you don't need protein powder to get bigger!

[Ordy]

Mine is pretty much.

1.5litres of water through the day.

M1: Shake(2 34g scoops) +milk, 1-2 cups Oats & Yoghurt

M2: Banana, meat kinda food (today happened to be subway footlong )

M3(or post workout): Shake with water

M4: Omlette (5 eggs usually)

M5: Fish/chicken/steak + eggs/noodles/rice

M6: shake + milk

snacks are, pumpkin seeds + almonds. Milk, yoghurt.

If i make too much Oats etc i have them later in the day. I'm only hungry when im too busy with work to get a meal, eat asap once done.

Every time i train i have between 1-2 litres of water. Helps a lot otherwise i dehydrate.

[weener lad]

Here we go, probably get shot down.

3-4 litres water per day (excluding training water)

M1: Oats with fruit and 2 Scoops Whey with water

M2: Cous cous and tuna

M3: 200g chicken and kumara (sometimes substituted with an Apple)

M4: 200g chicken and Broccoli

M5: As above

Before bed 2 scoops whey with 400mls trim milk and straight after a workout 1 scoop whey with water (one of the meals is planned to be had after training). Last Chicken meal get substituted 3 times a week for red meat and once a week I have a big feed of BK or Mc D's.

good, solid advice bro. +1.

Hope no one minds me slightly adding to the thread, I would be interested to know peoples tips/tricks for organising their meals around their lifestyle.

Seems like there is a few super organised ones on here!

I.e good containers/bags, when do you prepare things?

I eat pretty well and have a good idea of what/when I should be eating, but I find the hardest part is getting it all organised!

I work an office job, and prepare my lunch and dinner (well, at least cook the meat) 2 days in advance - sometimes 3 max if I have a bunch of meat ready to go, although I wouldn't prepare any more than 3 days in advance as I'm wary of the meat being a bit dodgy after sitting in the fridge for 3 days.

For example, last night I roasted two chickens, stripped each chicken into halves and each half I use for one meal (so 4 meals out of the 2 chickens). This will last me lunch/dinner for today and tomorrow. Just need to add to the chicken (e.g salad, stir fry at dinner if I can be bothered, by itself even) and I have a meal.

I never used to do this, but found it an easy adjustment to make once you get into the swing of it.

Those Glad containers are what I use to store 'em in, seem to work well enough

[weener lad]

Get a heap of 500ml containers and a good chiller bag. Pre cooked 1-2kg of chicken a time and throw it in the fridge, if cooked wright it will last 3 days.

I personally use pre-packed frozen Broccoli throw it in boiling water and microwave for 2 mins and the job is done. Likewise couscous cooks with no fuss and kumara can be cut thin and cooked in bulk in the microwave.

My job means most days I'm away overnight so I have to prepare 3-7 meals and take them with me so preparation is the key.

[NZPT]

m1: 100g raw weight oats 20g raw weight bran flakes+ shake 50g protein spirilina powder

m2: 6 whole eggs 2 whole grain toast ( plus mushrooms or tomato)

m3: 300g raw weight beef 1 medium kumara or 150g cooked weight rice

m3: 100g raw weight oats 20g raw weight bran flakes+ shake 50g protein spirilina powder

TRAIN

M4: 6og dextrose 60g protein ( through powder)

M5: (only 45-60 min post training) 300g raw weight Chicken 1 medium kumara or 150g cooked weight rice

m6: 300g raw weight chicken 1 medium kumara or 150g cooked weight rice

M7: 300g raw weight chicken beef or fish and salad or veg

M8: (before bed or during the night) double serve shake

This is my offseason diet.

Like Drizzt, I pre-cook a load of chicken and beef on the grill, it keeps quite well in the fridge. I also do the kumara that way - sliced 1cm thick, 9m in the Breville and it's done. It keeps well in the fridge.

I go through a lot of Glad containers - little ones for oats-n-shake, bigger ones for salad-n-meat, and the biggest ones for pre-chopped salad fixings (celery, capsicums, kumara, rice, etc).

I'd do the meat-n-veg prep Sunday nights, sets me up for the week, with a second grill-fest Weds nites.

I make a day's meals either first thing in the AM, or last thing at night - pop it all in the fridge and it'll stay fresh all day in an insulated bag. I use an insulated one I got from the Ware-Whare, it's even got a pocket for my shaker, and has "Worker" on it, which makes everyone smile at the irony.

Microwave frozen veggie single-serves for evening meals - helpful in winter when you want warm food.

My day starts at 5am but am luck enough to be able to come home twice to cook/eat. i normally just prepare the meat for the day when i cook up the first lot. grilling a batch while eating that meal etc.

i cook kumara or rice in 2 day lots which saves time for me. baking a lot of kumara is easy just set and walk away or microwave. same with rice..even better get a rice cooker.

Good advice NZPT.

I use the rice cooker and do Mon-Fri rice portions on Sunday night. I'll also cook all my chicken and tinfoil wrap portions for the week at this time.

Question for you NZPT. Why the Spirulina? I had heard something once about one of its claimed benefits (some vitamin or mineral) being unabsorbable by the human gut? Can't remember details atm.

B12 perhaps?

It's meant to be a good source of omega-3. Bottom feeding fish eat it so it must be good hey :grin:

[nznomis]

Thanks for all the replies to my 2 cents guys, I'm getting there, but its always good to here from other people who are doing it. Helps to overcome that "surely its just to hard" mental block :-)

[ThePman]

Right now, my eating is pretty crappy. However when I'm on the ball and actually trying to be lean 'n pretty, it might go like so:

AM: generally just coffee and stimulants

1PM: first meal, usually eggs or beef mince, with spinach and mushrooms. I'll throw in half an avocado if it's not a very low-cal day.

3-4PM: same as first meal, usually just opposite of what I ate there

5-6PM (pre-workout on weight days): 3 scoops of whey (~75g protein) if lifting, otherwise will usually have 2 scoops + 200g cottage cheese.

8-9PM: (post-workout on weight days): 2 scoops whey + 500ml of milk or 200g of cottage cheese. If not lifting, then this will be another meat + veggies meal.

10-11PM: 2 scoops whey + cottage cheese. Sometimes I don't bother with this one if I've had enough throughout the day.

That's the basic outline for me, anyway. If I'm not being super-strict or just start craving carbs, I'll throw in fruits like pears, plums, pineapple, strawberries, or kiwifruit.

The only supplements I use are beta-alanine and creatine, and I get around 10g worth of fish oil too. If I remember to be bothered, I take 5-6000 IU of vit D (not so worried about that now with more sunshine) and a little helping of zinc and magnesium before bed, since I find it helps me sleep.

It worked well enough getting me from 97kg to just under 89 recently, and once the meet is done I'm going to go back to it. The plan is to end up in ab-town by early next year.

cheers mate.

as for spirulina i take it for the beta carotene, an antioxident which has links to fighting cancer, and i like the taste which is the main thing that keeps me doing it:grin:

does have a decent amount of vits and minerals too which is always good.

would be interesting to read that article if you have a link?
