Stooch, ideally you want to keep eating. This means all day long. Lets say you want to take in 5000 calories a day minimum. The best way to do about doing this is with multiple meals. You want to eat clean for the most part, but a cheat meal here and there wont really hurt but could actually benefit if your doing your part in the gym. When on AAS the body is at it's peak for distributing nutrients to you muscles so the more you eat the better. I have a target number I aim for every day but I find myself hungry now all the time. Always aim for the target number of calories, but when your hugnry eat! Even if you ate 20 minutes ago! A good way to accomplish all this eating is to prepare food and bring it with you to eat as you move around all day. Complex carbs and proteins should be your bread and butter. Sweet potatoes, oatmeal, whole wheat and multi grain breads are great too. Don't skimp on the carbs as these are needed for growth. Carb to protein ratio should be 2:1 but the more of each the better regardless. A little trick I have been doing is getting 11 grain whole wheat bread and making peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches. When I make mine they are usually 500-600 calories each and are really easy to take with you anywhere. I have no less than two protein shakes a day, each consisting of 600 calories and 80g carbs/52g protein. I have one 1/2 way through my workout and one right after my workout. I have found that the easiest way for me to get all my food in is to start early in the day. The earlier I start the more I can eat. If you skip breakfast you lose a good 1000 calories. 1000 calories 7-days-a-week can make a huge difference! lets say you eat breakfast at 8, make sure to eat at least every two hours until the time you go to sleep. For me going to the gym is easy, but eating is hard! You really have to stay on top of it otherwise you wont get your calories in - which means no gains! I'm at work right now so I have to finish writing this but feel free to PM me with questions if you feel that I can help you. I'm going to write up one meal for each major meal of the day so you can have a good idea of what it takes. Breakfast - 5 egg whites mixed with 3 regular eggs, one buttered bagel, bowl of cereal w/milk, OJ. Lunch - grilled chicken cutlet hero w/ lettuce&tomato + 2 scoops of my shake (40g carbs/25g protein). Dinner 12oz ground beef (90lean/10fat) chili over brown rice + sweet potato. between major meals you can have shakes/PBnJ's/or anything else! I had orig. planned on eating 4500cal/day but I find myself now eating around 5500 on average with some days even like 6300. Like I said: get your target number in - and then anything else you eat is a bonus! It can't hurt as long as your putting in the work.
oh, and thanks for following!
