hey honey, just looked at the diet you posted, has anyone spoken to you about it? Are you a vegatarian by any chance?

Firstly you should take out the milk everytime you have whey. Whey is meant to be taken with water.

Also do you do morning cardio? Is this on an empty stomach or not?

The eggs scrambled, is that with milk too? If so I'd advise to cut it out, I'd also up the amount of whites and leave out some of the yolks. I have a 1 yolk to 5 whites ratio.

Do you have any healthy fats in your diet? These will help with weight loss as well as keeping your heart healthy. Things like oily fish a few times a week or nuts n seeds, or a tsp extra virgin olive oil.

What's Quinoa??

Finally, you really need something more after your postworkout shake. Normally people have their PWO then another meal up to an hour after. This is in your anabolic window and if you don't feed your muscles in this time period they won't grow! Try taking out your whey in the morning and replacing this with fish and green veg. Solid meals tend to be better than liquid ones, also you'll only get hungry, make it a bit easy on yourself!

Get well soon

Firstly you should take out the milk everytime you have whey. Whey is meant to be taken with water.... I only do milk with the bedtime one (slower digesting?)

Also do you do morning cardio? Is this on an empty stomach or not?..... Not currently doing AM cardio, not sure what I can do was thinking of one of those trampoline things but would have to have it outside so was waiting till the weather gets a bit better.

The eggs scrambled, is that with milk too? If so I'd advise to cut it out, I'd also up the amount of whites and leave out some of the yolks. I have a 1 yolk to 5 whites ratio.... Use liquid egg whites I think 200mls is about 6 sometimes will add in 2 whole eggs for the fats, either scrambled (no milk) with a slice of dry toast or make an omlette (with peppers/ mushrooms) and have 1 weetabix with milk for carbs.

Do you have any healthy fats in your diet? These will help with weight loss as well as keeping your heart healthy. Things like oily fish a few times a week or nuts n seeds, or a tsp extra virgin olive oil.... a bit haphazzard again usualy use a bit of olive oil for salad dressing usualy buy a bag on nuts and try to eat them over the week.

What's Quinoa??......a grain, like slightly bigger couscous, has quite high protein content

Finally, you really need something more after your postworkout shake. Normally people have their PWO then another meal up to an hour after. This is in your anabolic window and if you don't feed your muscles in this time period they won't grow!.......this is were my late gym time is an issue I get in from training then just have my bedtime whey and milk. being more organised I could make extra dinner and keep it till I got in, would I do shake then food or food then my pre bed shake?

Try taking out your whey in the morning and replacing this with fish and green veg......Not quite sure where you mean? fish and veg at 6.30 or drop the whey and have this as another meal somewere else?.... Solid meals tend to be better than liquid ones, also you'll only get hungry, make it a bit easy on yourself!
