Just noticed its that time!
To respond to the previous thread about snacks, eating late at night...
Well in that case snacks need to go period. Anyone who seriously workouts will tell you the kitchen is first, not the gym. Eat like crap and no matter how much you workout you will not look like it. Watching you calories, carbs, protein and fats is a big step. I suggest making a spread sheet of meals and find a website (like Bodybuilding.com) to look up each food values. They also have several calculators for an approx amount of each that you should consume daily to meet your desired goals. Approx as is no 2 people are the same so you might need more or less, maybe you cant eat at night, maybe breakfast makes you sick, so you have to learn what works for YOU and use it.
For me currently my meals are scheduled and I cook and prepare them daily. The only meal I don't plan is dinner because there are to many options to plan for. So pre dinner my intake looks like (no supplements): 130.45g of protein, 145.35 carbs, 24.42g fats and 1984.5 calories for male 25 yrs old, 245 lbs, semi active job. Dinner always has the 3 main, a protein source, carb and veggies. Being someone who is in the weight room to gain muscle I would love to up all these figures but healthy food cost $ and so does supplements. Eventually I will add some shakes into the diet as well.
Occasionally I take breaks from this. Today I have not had anything of the normal meals. I learned after last time I got serious I quickly got burned out on the food and the burned out feeling followed me to the gym and I fell off the wagon. I wouldn't say its a cheat day, I am not eating a bunch of crap, just different.
