Here are the basics of my diet:
Small meals every 2-3 hours, usually some type of sandwich (tuna, chicken, or PB) and/or fruit/granola bar. Breakfast consists of scrambled eggs (whites) or PB toast with a protein shake. I try to keep caloric intake around 3000 cal/2500 cal for lifting/non-lifting days respectively.
Pre-workout and post workout protein shakes on lifting days.
I usually follow this fairly easy on weekdays due to the work-day routine. Weekends, I still have meals while taking in lots of protein, but not as many as I sleep in a few more hours. One or two nights a week, I admit that I carb-load AKA drink the beer.
My metabolism is between that of a medium and high one. I have lots of cardio (more on non-lifting days.) I am currently 20 years old, 6'-2 182 lbs.
Any help improving my diet is greatly appreciated!
