It’s just like everything else, you have to put the effort in. Buy a big fucken box of bon bons, and sit on the couch watching TV. Eat 8 - 12, then rest for a minute or two. Then eat 8 - 12 more. Repeat this a few times. Pretty soon, you’ll find you’ll be able to eat more bon bons.

Myllz,
I’d hardly call that eating. You’re missing out on a lot of important food groups, namely fruits and vegetables.

TC,
How would you explain those of us who follow the Anabolic Diet (or something similar), eat c. 30g carbs yet function perfectly? I’ve been eating in that style for about 6 years now. Was it an adaptation? or maybe some people do better on fat and protein? I’d love to get your opinion on this.

cazzo,
what fruits and veggies do you typically eat every day? I tried out the anaboic diet last summer (for 8 weeks) because I for one think I can perform fairly well on lower carbs, and I was missing the vegetables man. I’d fry up some spinach, and that was about it. How much veggies do you typically eat in a day? and do you count fibrous carbs in that 30 grams?

Typically, a person needs about 200 grams of carbohydrate a day for normal brain function, and that’s if it’s spread out.
i guarantee that you feel crummy because of the low-carb intake.
While I applaud your decision to eat better, your execution could use some tweaking.
The rest of you have any suggestions for this guy?

yeah i would definitely add some more carbs. I don’t eat junk food and when i eat carbs its usually early on during the day…This is an example of my meal plan I already know how i’m going to eat for the week because i cook my meal on weekends this is what this week will probably be like
am
4 eggs (with yolk) with oatmeal
3 hours later
Grow!
3 hours later
chicken cacciatore/flameout(chicken breast /whole wheat linguine)
3 hours later
salmon (in a can) apple
metabollic drive before workout
Grow after work out
2 hours later
lamb chops/steak/chicken breast (depends whati had for dinner earlier)if its a heavy squat/deadlift day have some form of complex carbs
1 hour before sleep
Metabolic Drive/Flameout
right as i’m going to sleep
zma
also, its been said many times on T-Nation that its better not to take the multi with your morning oatmeal… something about all that fiber and your multi not being properly absorbed. try to take it with the next meal or lunch instead.
I’ve pretty much decided to go with Perseng’s suggestion as a basis, with some minor tweaks here and there. So far my meals today will be:
Pre-Meals: HOT-ROX & Chai Green Tea
Meal 1: Oatmeal & Bannana
Meal 2: Sliced Turkey & large Salad
Meal 3: Beef Jerkey, Cantaloupe, & Multi-Vitamin
Meal 4: Sliced Provolone, Almonds, & Green Apple
Meal 5: Salmon Steak & Brocolli
Meal 6: Small pieces of chicken & mixed vegetables
Meal 7: 2 Scoops Metabolic Drive
I’m planning on switching it up a little bit every day, but nothing major. Just stuff like different fruits, tuna instead of turkey, etc. I’ll also add some Surge on workout days.
I’m actually not used to eating this much, but I’m sure I’ll have no problem.
Any constructive criticism on this plan? Still no good or am I getting warmer?

A few quick comments:
Meal 1 is missing protein, maybe add in a protein shake or eggs.
Don’t be afraid of meat, use lean meats and then drain off the fat.
“Small pieces of chicken” - make sure it’s adds up to 30g of protein, at least!
I assume you are also using a PWO meal/shake that you haven’t included. If not, use it!
Also following the workout (~hour later), which ever meal it is, add in extra protein.
Final note, train hard and stay active. If you’re running out of energy, eat more. You don’t get extra points for being miserable…but you will eventually quit.
