    Just be consistent with whatever way you do it. You can measure the full days worth dry, cook it, then portion out to meals for that day.

    Or if you want to cook a bunch in bulk and weigh out cooked just make sure you are consistent with your dry to water ratio every time

    Yeah if I put the exact same amount of water and dry rice everytime when I cook isnt that just as accurate or no because will the rice keep absorbing water and changing weight since it is sitting in the rice cooker on keeping warm setting

    Looks fine to me in terms of good choices and if all digests well with you and has the scale going up then you are good.

    Personally I would want more carbs PWO and less carbs last meal

    I am starting a 9-5 job this week so I will now have to reorder my meals so I will soon be having 4 meals before training then my post workout snack and meal 5 after training before I go to bed!

    Wow long ass day nearly 18 hours of travelling, low food and lots of steps I’m pretty tired now. Extra 5 hours to the day aswell because of the time diff.

    Meal plan tomo is stay low and really push condition before we load end of the week.

    Tomorrows meal plan will be:

    Meal 1:

    250g lean beef

    1 x egg

    75g veggies

    Meal 2:

    250g chicken/turkey

    100g cream of rice or rice

    75g pineapple

    5g olive oil

    30min pre training:

    1 x pre workout stim+pump

    5g Creatine

    10g glutamine

    Intra:

    10g EAAs

    Meal 3 Post training:

    70g whey isolate

    100g cream of rice

    1 banana

    10g nut butter

    MEAL 4:

    250g salmon

    100g mixed salad

    Table spoon apple cedar vinegar

    10g macadamia nut oil

    Meal 5:

    400g white fish

    100g veggies

    10g olive oil

    Meal 6

    400g whites

    1 hole egg

    50g veggies

    Just curious do you think its fine to put the glutamine and creatine in the intra workout drink? Or why do you take them pre workout?

    Also just curious what the method or point of having apple cider vinegar in your meal 4? [/quote]

    Pre or intra is fine buddy doesn’t make a difference

    Hey Joe good luck this weekend! After this show are you going into the offseason?

    Also do you think you offseason meal plan set up be the same? Do you always do 5-6 meals plus an intra workout shake in the off season?
