Steff -> where am i going wrong? (May 8 2008 19:03:13)

hi - ive posted up this first paragraph also in the training section to see if i might need help in that department, but i thought i should take a look at diet also. here goes,

Ive been training a few years now. my usual weight to hold was around 96-98 kilo. im currently hovering around 88-89 kilos. the weight seems to have dropped off without me aiming to! i hadnt really thought about it until the other night when i was told at the gym im looking alot smaller these days. so i weighed myself and wasnt too happy. plus - measuring my arms i found they're an inch smaller than before. im a little less chubby but really not much more than a pound or 2.

so to the diet -

730am: i cant eat first thing it makes me gag, so i have a shake, 10 mins later i can manage an apple / banana. the shake is 50g carbs from maltodex and 40g whey protein

10:30am: meat sandwich or similar snack of around 30g protein, couple of slices of bread too and a coffee

1pm: cooked lunch, microwaved meal from something ive prepared the night before. often pasta and chicken. around 40-50g protein in this meal

3pm: protein shake as described earlier, and apple, and a coffee

530pm: peanut butter sandwich and pro-biotic yoghurt

7pm: evening cooked meal often rice and meat, around 30g of protein

830: apple or banana

10pm: post workout shake with 50g whey and 80-100g sugar 5g creatine if im on creatine

11pm: snack before bed (pistachio nuts, or a couple of sausages, or a sandwich)

my diet never changes too much and whilst this used to maintain my old weight i now have found myself losing weight unintentionally and im pretty skinny :( so any help would be much appreciated!

more carbs mate, not much there

what issues do you face, cant stand eating or zero appetite etc?

low on efa's too



Steff -> RE: where am i going wrong? (May 8 2008 19:17:09)

im not sure where i'd fit in more carbs to be honest! the cooked meals both have a fair old bit of pasta or rice, plus the sandwiches have the bread. my shakes have the maltodex too.

i should have more EFAs though agreed. possibly olive oil in the shakes.



theiopener -> RE: where am i going wrong? (May 8 2008 19:18:19)

i cant comment on portion sizes mate as only you know that [:)]

perhaps put some fats in the shakes like ground flaxseed to get in your EFA's and to also boost the calorie content [:)]



Knighty -> RE: where am i going wrong? (May 8 2008 20:45:12)

Eat more, end of.

I find that if I don't gain, I'll just add in another couple of slices of bread here and there, etc. and then wait 4 weeks or so and see what happens.
