Here is my diet for an average day. It usually has a healthy snack here or there added sometime but it varies.
6AM: Oatmeal and whey protein shake
9AM: Apple and almonds
12PM: Chicken Breast and Veggies
3PM: Yogurt and some carbs
5-6PM: Surge Recovery (Workout Time)
7PM: Healthy Dinner (Living at home, it varies but is healthy)
930PM: Casein protein shake
Just a couple questions are 1) Would it be more beneficial to take casein in the morning since there is a long time between that and my workout and 2) Would it be better to perhaps take the first protein shake at a different time than breakfast?
Any other comments or suggestions are appreciated.
Your not eating any protein at 9am. Get a protein shake in here or a piece of chicken, beef or something. 3pm again no real protein source throw in a shake here to get some amino acids in the system before your workout.
I don’t know what you call a “Healthy Dinner” But get a good sized portion of Lean Protein I would go with beef (People tend to grow quicker on beef, because of the saturated fats, the inflamatory substances and Carnosine) and get some good carbs into you. 9:30 casein shake sounds good maybe throw in some natty PB for some healthy fats but its your call.
What I meant by “healthy dinner” is what you described, sorry for being vague. I am not a PB fan at all but I will try mixing some natural PB into the shake and see if I can stomach it. I think I am going to mix some unflavored casein into my oatmeal and then have my ON whey shake around 330.
Thanks for the advice.
So it will shape to be about
6AM: Oatmeal w/ casein protein mixed in
9AM: Apple and almonds (thinking of adding protein here)
12PM: Chicken Breast and Veggies
2PM: Yogurt and some carbs
3:30 PM: Whey protein shake
5-6PM: Surge Recovery (Workout Time)
7PM: Healthy Dinner (lean protein and good carbs)
930PM: Casein protein shake
no problem! And you don’t have to use peanut butter! you can use any nut butter or an oil even like coconut oil, EVOO, macadamian nut oil etc, I’m just suggesting getting some fats in with your last meal. And good call on oatmeal and whey/casein pre workout that’s a solid pre workout meal. Good Luck

I’ve recently dropped all casein due the fact it contains most of the allergens found in milk and feel much better without it.
Besides, I’ve been getting into protein pulsing and find that whey works better for this.[/quote]
Really??? I had no idea that casein contained the allergen’s…I would love to read some research on this…I only use casein at night but still…thank you for the heads up and if you have any literature please send it my way!

A little research into dairy/milk allergens should pull up plenty on this.
I understood the idea of Milk allergens, I have no problem as far as milk tolerence but this is still pretty interesting I’ll be looking into it for sure. thanks
Stick with the whey shake when you wake up at 6am. Casein digests slow and you had no protein intake from 9:30pm-6am (besides the casein at 9:30 still digesting), therefore whey is necessary.
