My new food plan .. criticism/comments appreciated - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

cait987 · 03-04-2004, 08:38 PM

Well, I made a new diet plan and hoping for some good results from this with my HIIT/cruches/lower body work

Quote:

Breakfast: 2 cup Quaker oatmeal + 1 can of chicken
340 calories 38 carbs 40 G of protein 4 G of fat

10:30- 3/8 cup almonds
600 calories aprox 45 G of fat 12 G of protein / carbs

1(lunch): sandwitch- 4 slices of light 100% whole wheat bread, 2x Can of chicken for meat, 8 strawberrys
38 carbs from bread 10 from strawberrys 65 G of protein and 3.5 G of fat
500 calories

3:00-3:30 (depending on if I do HIIT: Protein shake in 1% milk (0% is sick)
200 calories

5:30 (dinner)- Meat + Vege (broccoli green bean whatever) 400 calories aprox

7:30: can of chicken/tuna
35 G of protein aprox
150 calories

With this setup I feel much more confident personally and most of my calories will be coming from early day foods which wont turn to fat so Im looking at hmm lets see

340
600
500
200
400
150

aprox 2150 calories or 250 calories below maintenance

Does anyone feel this design will work much better? I will also be taking in about as much fiber as I was getting from my fruit with this setup

Overall Macros: Fat: 55 - 70 G (depending on meat)
Carbs: 100 aprox
Protein: 150 - 250 depending on meat
Fiber: 35 G aprox (most from bread + oatmeal)

copy pasted it since originally I posted it on another board just want to see if there are any downfalls to this design before I try and get into it

can of chicken? I am in Australia ... what is this product?
why no salad vegetables?
water and fluid intake for the day?
why strawberries? why almonds? are they varied?
calcium and zinc intake is not great
sodium may be both high and more imnportantly in a bad ratio ith potassium
what is the per cup (i.e. 250grams) fibre/cho/fat/protein for quaker oats please

hannukah harry · 03-04-2004, 10:35 PM

that's an awful lot of fat your getting at one time from the almonds... you should maybe do half that and get something else at the same time... maybe a salad?

cait987 · 03-05-2004, 07:32 AM

Hmm, to anibal .. I have no idea what you have so many questions but ill answer em all ...

can of chicken = 140 calories of solid protein really I have a ton of em in my cabinet since they are small and store easy

salad veges = dinner and I will have some when I get home probaly some green beans or something

Water and fluid intakes .. put it this way ive had nearly a half gallon of water and its 7:30 in the morning.

Strawberries: low GI and good source of potassium
Almonds: the best nuts you can have really if you want to know more look up the nutrients in em ..

Calcium/Zinc: ... I take multi vitamins in the morning for that very reason. Milk fat isnt that great of fat and thats the best source of calcium, I eat eggs alot I was just righting out a general breakdown of plan

Sodium ... Sodium intake with what im eatting is like 50% of your DV which isnt to high I beleive ...

quaker: 3G of fiber, 0 cholestrol, 1 or 2 G of fat, 5 G of protein

I eat the oatmeal because I need the carbs. I have trouble getting proper macro nutrients.

and to hannukah: hmm, you have a good point, do you think that maybe I should eat like 1/4 a cup at that time then eat the other 1/8 later on when I get home? getting fat later on isnt bad but getting all the carbs I need is becoming a problem since they will be eatten pretty late should I eat when I get home.

One highly critical thing you don't measure above is fiber. You need 20-30 grams/day. Many people don't understand this concept.

Oatmeal (not instant) is a good sources, as are nut, fruits, veggies, beans, lentils. If you ate all this, you'd be too full to eat other crap, you'd get all the protein you need along with the right carbs, etc., and feel great. Plus, you'd take perfect dumps every day and yor colon would be very happy.

hmm, so the 35 G a day im getting is not enough?

I would eat fruits but im gonna cut down on them a bit for the next few days and see if all the fruits were causing my blood sugar levels to screw up.

I'm glad you've got the nuts in there. You need vegetable fat as well as animal fat, the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Cait987 - I had problems with too much fruit in the AM. Just have it with oatmeal or whole grain bread. Then you won't crash.

Does anyone else find oatmeal completely repulsive? Tastes like chalk and ass to me.
