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?

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?

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

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

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?

Darren

[Darren]

Thanks JP. Not sure if this means anything without knowing the full picture but I had 1300mg potassium yesterday so says MFP

Darren

[Darren]

Thanks Clare, really appreciate that. I could really do with Legs being Tuesday. Any advice on volume for each body part on these days if I was to go with your advice?

Darren

[Darren]

Really, I’m surprised 10 daily but then there’s my knowledge! I was working it out at 0.3 so a tiny bit every day. Thanks Kuba
