my diet

[protz2812]

I was wondering if this is good diet for adding on muscle mass and staying lean.

Breakfast 6:30
4egg substitutes
cup of oatmeal w/ ON protein powder
1 apple
bagel with peanut butter

snack 9:00
1 meso-tech bar

lunch 12:00
2 cans tuna(sometimes add hot sauce for flavor)
8 oz milk
1 apple or other fruit
or
school lunch depends what they have that day

workout 2:30
5 grams glutamine before workout

after workout
protein shake with another 5 grams of glut.
1 protein bar
1 apple with peanut butter on side



1 hour after workout
2 chicken breast
2-2 1/2 cups sweet potatoes

before bed
1-1 1/2 scoops protein powder w/ 8oz water
somepeanut buttter and raisins

sometimes I substitute sweet potatoes with 1cup brown rice, and should the cup be before cooked or after and when I have 1 cup oatmeal should it be 1 cup dry then add water or 1 cup cooked. I am also taking 6 weeks off of creatine, just seeing if it does anything. should I add more food and if so to what. I am a senior in high school and the food is not healthy in lunch, (big suprise). I bring my meso tech bar and lunch to school then go to gym after school.

postworkout- drop all fats. take 70 grams dextrose with 40 grams protien. aim for as close to this ratio as possible with what you have. Looks great for being a school schedule!

Your diet looks great but your post workout meal with the protein bar and PB may slow the absorbtion of nutrients when you need them most. I would go with FKITLETSGO's suggestion.

I agree with FKITLETSGO as well for post workout.

Id also try to keep the protein bars on the low if you can..whole food is much better.
and raisens are quite high glycemic right before bed..perhaps add some milk to your protein shake to get some casein protein in there.

think of protein bars as a treat or occasional snack, not a mainstay of a solid diet
