Ok thanks Hilly. If I’m to add protein to late breakfast meal can I bring the protein down a bit from all the meals later in the day? I’ve been prioritising getting 50g off complete protein in every meal apart from meal 3 like we’re discussing. So same amount of complete protein across the day just spread out evenly form meal 3 onwards?

If everything digests well, then that’s great. If it were me though I would have cyclic dextrin in place of dextrose and add some salt.

Post workout I would have cream of rice, whey and banana, and possibly a little dark chocolate.

Meal 3 I would have sourdough toast, whole eggs and avocado.

Meals 4, 5 and 6 look good.

Thanks Clar, everything in meals and water has pink salt in it or on it.

What’s the thinking behind meal 3 change up out of interest?

Also I thought fats post workout was a no no?[/quote]

For me this post workout meal would simply sit and digest easier. Also considering all you’re having pre training is carb powder, followed by a hard training session you may risk a hypo by just having another load of simple sugars, so adding a very small amount of fats could minimise this.

Meal 3 needs more protein, hence the suggestion here.

Also Clare, same as Marc’s reply, why do you think meal 3 needs more protein when I’m getting 50g of protein at 9am-ish and then 50g about 1pm-ish and across the day I’m getting over 200g of complete protein?

Thanks Clare, appreciate the reply and will implement these changes

Hi Darren

Thanks for sharing this. At a glance is there a reason for no protein in your pre workout meal and late morning breakfast?

You could also consider adding some more fruit such as berries or pineapple to your meals to help increase your micronutrients from vitamins and minerals across the day

Because I roll out of bed and train and get on with training fasted, I’ve took advice off some coaches here to get my protein from a couple of scoops of eaa’s alongside carb powder to be done within 1.5L before mid workout.

I’m not having a protein source in my late morning breakfast because I thought my 50g post workout protein would be fine to get to my next 50g of protein at lunch (4ish hours).

Think that’s ok?

I’ll add some tinned pineapple slices to each meal if you think that’s good?

Darren

Thanks Benners.

Yes daily nutrition from Post work to bed is always consistent and where it’s needs to be.

But I’d hate to be choosing what’s convenient in the mornings over what can deliver me better progress.

Yes I’m happy with my physique, above average, not interested in competing, but bulk for a reason of adding and cut for the reason of looking my best and resetting.

So you think I can 100% do what I’m doing pre workout wise without missing out on progress if I was to have properly digested meal?

If someone was to say “yeah you’re missing out on better improvements if you was to eat properly” I’d immediately change it.

TIA

Thank you all everyone, I will give these all a go!! Much appreciated

Yeah I saucepan my stuff over here in Aus. Applied nutrition COR here mixes different to the complete strength stuff I used when I was in UK. Was wondering if anyone had any air fyer ways or any other way to make it go from very nice to wallooppp unreal

Thanks all

I personally havnt put a focus on either JP, don’t really know enough to be honest. I was told to do 3-5g a day by a formal coach just as a lifestyle client and I’m feel I’m taking a more more than that recently! Probably should have weighed it out before asking 😂. So was just wondering if more than 5 had a negative impact. I’ll now sort it out with Lo salt and getting more potassium in

3-5g pink salt for someone who is very active is really low. i am in agreement with what the team have said, but to be accurate weigh out whatever salt you use for the day into a pot, assess what it does to your body say over a week – 10 days as it will take some time to adjust and then make any changes from there based on what you are seeing visually[/quote]
Ok Marc, thank you. I will do that. What should I notice it being doing? I can’t stress enough I don’t know much about this in depth stuff with salt/sodium/water rentention 😂 that’s why I’m here. I’m only taking it cos I was told to take it.

Thanks for everyone’s input.

Nothing really Michaela, I’m just wondering if I’m taking on too much of the pink stuff. My old coach was 3-5g and I feel I’m probably doing more than that. Wondered if it’s to much that could have a negative impact.

So I used this helpful forum to gauge opinions.

I’ll weigh 5g out a day and keep it there

Darren

Thanks mate

Salt over to what JP? Sorry I’m no expert by any means in this field, just do this lifting stuff, eating well for a hobby. What effect will my sort intake and potassium be having on me?
