copied this from another forum, seems very good rescource
This is a GENERAL GUIDELINE
All meals should be no more than 3 hours apart
PWO should be ASAP after workout
PPWO should be 1 hour after workout
Whey should only be consumed Post-workout and for breakfast (times when you are catabolic) for maximum efficiency (any other time it is not an optimal source of protein because of it's quick absorbancy rate)
Carbs and Protein in each meal should be dependant upon your caloric requirements (I prefer to taper my meal sizes down calorically after my PPWO meal)
This structure works well both for cutting and bulking
Fruit = 1 serving of fruit (medium banana, apple, cup berries, etc..)
Fat = 1 Tbsp fat (PB, Almond Butter, flax oil, small handful of nuts, etc...)
MEAL STRUCTURE:
1: Carbs + Protein + Fruit
2: Carbs + Protein + Fruit
3: PWO (Whey + Oats/Dex + Fruit)
4: PPWO: Carbs + Protein + Veggies
5: Protein/Veggies/1 Tbsp Fat
6: Protein/Veggies/1 Tbsp Fat
7. Protein/2 Tbsp fat

This is also for the most hardcore nutrition people. If you're an average person, just remember lean meats, complex carbs, fiber often, junk food sparingly. I'm going to try to take the "Joe Six-Pack approach" with this post. This is NOT, I repeat, NOT for those who are serious about competitive bodybuilding. This is for those who work out for themselves and for feeling good.
My old football coach says eat right and you'll never be wrong, very true. It's very hard to eat 100% clean, especially with sweets cravings and parties in the world. The good news is you don't have to unless you're serious about bodybuilding, just making healthier decisions will go a long way.
While it's very true that fast food is processed junk, eating a Grilled Chicken sandwich is 10x better than eating a double cheeseburger. If you find yourself in a situation where you're out to eat at McDonalds, choosing a Chicken McGrill and a Diet Coke is light years better than a Big Mac Extra Value Meal w/ large regular Coke.
When you eat right, you get to eat more, too! You can get stuffed silly off of fruit vs. one Kudos bar, for instance. You can have more grilled chicken and roasted chicken than fried chicken, which is great for getting that extra protein you need to build muscle. Ditto w/ turkey burgers vs. beef burgers, more protein per calorie.
Protein is a must, and if you're craving something sweet, have a protein bar instead of a candy bar. The somewhat cardboard taste is manageable, and at least you get SOME nutrients out of it.
If you're having a day where you know there's a good chance you be drinking your ass off at a party, going out to eat or eating ice cream on a date, just adjust your calorie intake from your other foods accordingly. Remember there's always light beer instead of regular, and some kind of healthier option at most restaurants and ice cream places.
In the end it's calories in vs. calories out, and if you eat right, chances are you won't be going overboard when the day ends.

If you're looking to bulk it would be fine to make one of the Protein/Fat meals into a Carb/Protein meal to fuel your workout, the import part is the core:
PreWorkout: 1 hour before workout (5pm)
Carbs + Protein + Veggies/Fruit
Postworkout: ASAP after workout (730pm lets say)
Whey + Dex/Oats + Fruit (optional)
PPWO: 830pm
Carbs + Protein + Veggies
11-1130: Protein + Fats
Bulking example:
Meal #1
2 whole eggs + 4 egg whites
8 oz lean beef
1 piece fruit (banana or apple)
Meal #2
2 scoops Beverly International Ultra Size
1 scoop Beverly International Mass Maker or Muscle Provider
2 oz heavy cream, 1 tbs vegetable oil (sunflower, safflower or olive oil)
6 frozen strawberries and / or 1 banana
12 – 16 oz water or skim milk
(you can make this shake up before you leave
home – it’s all whole food based and will
not degrade if refrigerated)
Meal #3
6 oz turkey breast or chicken breast
6 oz beef or 1 cup cottage cheese
Fresh pineapple
(or other fresh fruit – pineapple contains the
enzyme bromelain which helps digest protein)
and / or salad
Meal #4
Protein drink (same as meal #2)
Meal #5
6 – 8 oz chicken or turkey breast
6 – 8 oz lean red meat (beef or pork)
Small salad
1 piece fruit (banana)
Meal #6
2 Whole eggs + 4 egg whites
8 oz Lean Beef
1 Piece fruit (apple or pear)
- Post training meal (on workout days only)
- Beverly International Ultra Size
- Baked potato or pasta
- Brown rice, oatmeal, corn or bread
- Green vegetable or salad
- (if you prefer your complex carbs in a post
workout shake – Beverly's Mass Maker is the best.)

Dieting IS the hardest thing for me as well.....
theres just not enough time in the day to do the proper 6meals a day.... all consisting of the foods u want.... and depending on ur mood after work.... if i have a bad day and tired.... i usually dun eat.......
with work and school.... let alone spending time with other people its really hard to stick to a meal plan for me

Hondaracer's outline is very good. Once you condition yourself to make healthy eating choices you will no longer lust for foods (McDonalds, chips, etc.) that you may have enjoyed previously. There are enough healthy and tasty options available that there should be no excuses for eating poorly.

I gained 5lb of muscles in 2 weeks. but now school plus work just ruin all my meal times. my work only have 30 min break if I work 5 hours or longer, and the break time vaires. I hate it!! ggrr i feel like my work outs are being wasted because im not having enough time to eat the food I need.

you probably gained at most 2lbs of muscles since your body can only synthesize a lb of muscle per week at most. the rest is probably water retention

Good writup.
If there's one question I have (and little/no time to sift through the internet) is this: For someone who works your typical 8 hour day at a stand on the job all day long and works hard. What should I eat for a person who has breaks at 10 and 3 and lunch at 12 and is at the gym at 4:50 mon-fri?
Just a bit of food energy suggestions I'd apprecite. Typically right now I have 2 chicken pitas (made myself with chicken, hot sauce, feta cheese and black olives) and water to drink for lunch, another pita for last break. Not sure what else to have for foods at the moment. Thanks.

correct me if i'm wrong here, but...
a meal doesn't have to be that hard to do. like, u can pack a can of tuna and some whole wheat crackers and that can be one of your meals.
also, because you're spreading out your eating over 6-7 meals instead of 3, you don't need to eat that much each time. Even a handful of kidney beans can be considered a "meal", or you can buy those mini carrot sticks and have a protein shake.

there is just not enough time to eat so many meals in a day.
with work and school it's realllly hard.
can someone recommend me somewhere to get those protein shakes? i kind of want to try it out, for a month.. because i have been working out avg 3 days a week, 1-2 hours each time, since Janurary. im not gaining weight.. in fact, i was 125, then dropped to 123, and now it's april.. and im 126 only.
Will drinking those protein shakes really help me?
thanks.

I've worked at GNC for a few years in the past and you know what worked for me? Carbs in the morning and lots of chiken and rice. Make your meals liek a backwards pyramid. Eat like a king at breakfast and eat very little at night, dont eat past 5 and no snacking. Obeying these rules will make you start t oloose some weight fast.
As for protien and what not a scoop or two a day works for me, i dont take any isolates anymore, jus make sure to eat well and take a multivitamine and some greens. I box 3 times a week and go to ju jitsu 2 days a week which is good cardio. I hit the gym at lunch maybe 3 days a week. I dont over train i just keep it simple and stick to what i know and keep it up and its workin great.
If your thinking about taking diretics like hydroxycut and what not id say not too. The reason for this is its basically like a bunch of caffine in your diet which in the end restrics blood flow to the brain. Try having a crazy workout while taking these pills! UNLESS you buy them from the states... They have Yohimbe in them which almost works kind of like ephadrin which was banned a few years back. This attacks fat tissues that are hard to get at and works very well in conjunction with caffine, just dont over do it. With these pills also comes a harsh diretic which will almost "prune" you out. Make sure you drink LOTS of fluids. I hope this helps out some people!

Whey proteins in the morning and post workout, cassein protein before bed. What kind of protein is in your weight gainer? What else is in it? Loaded up on carbs? If it's one of those crazy 150 grams of carbs (usually sugar, too) per serving types I wouldn't have it within 5 hours of bed at least.

Also, make sure to check out their food pyramid.

Just wondering about some stuff. It says that you should not take a protein shake in the morning because of the insulin spike. It also says you should not take more than 1 shake a day.
But you also find conflicting info where trainers suggest a morning shake is beneficial because your body craves it after fasting for 8 hours. Many people also take 2-3 shakes a day to meet their protein intake requirements.
Which is right?

You should not be getting the majority of your protein from shakes. Have one shake whether morning, lunch or at dinner and then encorporate protein in your meals; if you can get some at every meal then even better. I know I am a girl but I find a great source is those mini tins of tuna, just throw it on top of a salad or anything else you can think of and there's some protein right there. Chicken is a great source too and tastes really good.

Where does it say that about morning shakes?
Avoid having protein shakes first thing in the morning (as they produce an insulin spike), best time for them is post workout when an insulin spike could actually be beneficial. Have no more than one protein shake a day. And don’t forget to chew your shakes as you would solid food. This action is necessary to fully stimulate the digestive process. Moreover, adding sources of fibre such as avocado or physillium husk will help stabilize insulin levels.
http://www.fit4younutrition.com/article6.html
and saucywoman, I understand. It's just hard for me to get go without more than 1 shake a day. That plus laziness + still living at home + still a student means I end up using shakes more often than other people. I go minimum 2 a day, sometimes 3 (morning and PWO, the 3rd will be sometime during the day). As mentioned, it's more cost effective.
With that said, I'm still able to get 200 or more grams a day so yeah good stuff (I'm 5'8'' 174)

okay so I asked the trainer/co-owner about what the other trainer/co-owner said and getting most of your protein from shakes aren't bad to do, the more beneficial way is through food because food makes your body work to digest it.
So I apologize, I should've asked the 1st trainer to elaborate more on that comment.

the reason you should be getting more of your protein from FOOD than from protein supliments is real food (beef, pork, chicken, etc) contains more nutrients than just protein.

Are oats and nuts absolutely necessary when bulking? I wanna gain some size but I cant have alot of what's mentioned in the bulking part of the first post
Mainly wheat, oats, nuts, and too much milk doesnt sit too well with my stomach.
I dont wanna be eating steak 24/7/365

Why don't you want to eat steak?
I average 4 steaks a week

I have at least 4 steaks a week as well, but I'm only very very slowly putting on weight.
It just seems like although I'm incorporating more beef into my diet, I'm still missing out on the oats, nuts, milk, whole wheat pasta etc,
however not by choice

I've been saving my bacon grease in a jar in the fridge and throwing it away when its full so I don't clog up my drains.
Do you think its a good idea to use my saved bacon fat as a cooking oil instead of canola?

So, how do you guys cook / marinate your chicken breast so it tastes relatively good and is more tender than rough?

Easy: Don't use chicken breast. Thigh meat is tastier and more nutritious

I second this. I have been cooking them on my george foreman for awhile but I need a way to change them up. I usually have them plain with franks red hot sauce.
