Newbie's lunch!

[Katie1309]

So I'm thinking of competing and know it'll take a year or so of hard graft to get in best condition but for starters gotta get BF down - so here's my lunch today - critique as you wish!

100gms Chicken breast

1/2 cup spinach

2 celery stick with peanut butter (yummy!) prob 2/3 tbsp of light peanut butter

5 cherry tomatoes

4 vita wheats (the little ones)

1/2 avocado

12 olives

Hmmm - on the face of it, not too bad, good quantities of protein and healthy fats, but...

Kinda hard to critique it in isolation - was lunch your #2 meal of 3 for the day, or #3 of 6, remembering the advice others provided about moving to smaller, more frequent meals (although as you saw the value in that is debatable).

It'd be easier to give advice if you posted a whole day's food (you're 5'4" 67kgs (48kgs lean tissue last check) 27% ish body fat, yes ?)

exactly same today (buy for a week at work!) for dinner Salmon fillet 250gms ish and courgette/carrot/capsicum fritters....with a wee bit of wholemeal flour probably drink 5 or so cups of tea a day too, I'm English so its kinda a rule - getting into the water too though

I think you should follow your trainer, so that proper results and a right quantity of food can be achieved. As balance diet may help you a lot, so do try to take equal amount of all gradients.

Tea...hmmm - hot sweet milky PG Tips or Twinings with three sugars, or green tea/ white tea (which, it turns out, have beneficial effects on the metabolism) ?

Someone's obviously told you about the water so that's fine :nod:

Lunch sounds good, tho
