Blog Entry
So, I figure I would write a blog on my current eating schedule. I am still in the first phase. So, I am trying to get in the habit of eating more meals. More frequent SMALL healthy meals. Ive tried to get those close to me to see the difference beween good calories and bad calories (where you get your calories from), but they just dont want to see it. Its a mindset and you have to have it. You can only do so much and try to get people to see things in a healthy way. You have to be disciplined. Eat healthy and you will get the calories your body needs for fuel and muscle building!
So, here is my current eating schedule. It tends to be about 5( some days 6) meals per day/ = 1400-1500 calories. So, I am about where i need to be for my metabolism/ current activity level. Im trying to slowly build to 6, to help with the muscle gains!
Meal one: Whey/ fruit protein shake
Meal two: Bowl of Cereal/ or Oatmeal.
Meal three: Detour Bar
Meal four: Chicken/ steak or beef/ (varies) with egg whites
Meal five: Whey/ fruit protein shake.
Snacks: Walnuts (i am in a walnut phase), soynuts, and jerky.

looks ok so far.
but if you are trying to Build muscle, i would increase your calories a little more.
Try and get something from carbs fat and protein with each meal (besides post workout), grouping these togetehr will help your bod utilize it more.
Meal two, add some protein. Oatmeal AND egg whites for example.
Meal 5. need some carbs! either from veggies or wild rice
Your protein shakes are fine as long as you are using fruit in them
the walnuts are also v.good since i dont see much healthy fats added in anywhere else, unless you are cooking with oils/butter.
Have a good weekend!

Looks great, glad you made the changes. I totally agree with the comment above. And yea some days it seems impossible to get in the required number of meals, life goes so fast, but smaller frequent meals with healthy content is definitely the way to go! Your body gets the right mix of fuel to work at an optimum level. Keep up the hard work Chica, you are looking awesome!!! Love ya.
