Good fats from good oils.....Also, why don't you just increase your meal size a bit? Go to 12oz of chicken, add a tbsp of EVOO to each of those meals, and your shakes other than pwo....

[crod266]

ok that sounds good, where would you incorporate that? I was always so bad at trying to put oils into my food.

[steel1970]

Well, after reading your post better, I guess you don't use alot if shakes. That being said, you could increase the protein from your shakes to 60-70g, add a tbsp of Mac nut oil to your rice in those meals, add a scoop of protein to your egg meals, and I think you have your extra cals....

You could also add more carbs to meals 1 & 2 if you wanted to...

It isn't that hard to figure out lol...

Just take the amounts you are currently and increase them by small amounts.

2 scoops pro---> 2.5 scoops
2c rice---> 2.5c
2tbs pb---> 3tbs
10oz steak---> 12oz steak
etc...

[crod266]

I understand thankyou, now the only thing with the protein is im only 185, im pretty short but still only 185 so Im already taking in plus 2g protein per body pound. Does it matter if I add more protein?

oh of course I could do that haha, but Im already pretty full eating all this food yet I know I need more cals, so I was looking for tips to get more easy cals down that wont really make me stuff my face more if you know what I mean.

Well then use some reasoning and add more carbs or fats.

Sensitive to carbs? Add more fats.
Not sensitive? Add more carbs.

Or add a little of both!


Saw you last post...

In that case PB or nuts are easy ways to add fats. They're calorically dense and easy to add to any meal. Plus a little oil in the rice like Steel said.

Ok I will give both ideas a whirl, Im going to have to see how I like mac nut oil, never tried to add it to any food.

[crod266]

Also what do you guys think about just also adding more carbs to my pwo meal. like an extra 40 grams of carbs or so?

Your breakfast looks like its too small if your trying to add calories... One piece of fruit and that's it?? Unless your really sensitive to carbs bump that up big time! Blend that skip with your fruit and a bunch of oatmeal and chug that!

Edit: Sammich did exactly what i was thinking while typing that^ haha

[bbjeff86]

I would add the calories post workout... Big Mac, Swiss Rolls with Protein shake, etc. "crappy" food packs a good bunch of calories, and doesn't require eating a ton of extra food.

I would keep the carbs low-0 in the AM, despite what Sammich and Liftweights say, and then slam the carbs post workout... but it depends on you and how you feel without carbs.

Why? Just curious on your logic for keeping the pre-workout carbs/cals low.
