1115. Q:
Hey mike, im the guy from 591. im gonna start having like 6 meals a day now, like breakfast i figured gets me around 30 g protein, lunch the only protein im getting is from 4 slices of deli turkey, what can i do to up the protein there up? also, i was reading in FLEX, and i was wondering if i should have like a midlunch snack or something? they said like peanuts and dried fruit, what do u think? it has to be something that can be in my locker at school. then a tuna sandwich at home, then chicken pre workout, and either chicken or steak afterwards. i figured thats only around 150 g of protein, i weigh 205. i also take 2 whey protein shakes a day, so add 62 more, and im gonna start taking casein before bed, which is another 23, is this enough protein or should i add like a pre lunch snack or something.
also, what are some vegetables besides cauliflower,broccoli and carrots, i need some more variety.
thanks for reading this long question
A:
As long as you get 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight it's enough and what you've listed is already more than that. I'd go with whole fruit instead of dried, but otherwise that snack should be fine. Remember that if you are on good track as far as weight gain now (which you are, if I remember correctly -- one pound gain every two weeks or so), then whatever your new meal plan is you should try to keep the calories about the same as now. So if you're adding a new meal then make your other meals slightly smaller to compensate.
As far as veggies... well there's a ton of them: peppers of all colors and varieties, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, mushrooms (they're not veggies technically, but close enough), cabbage, radishes, sprouts, celery -- and these are just the ones you can eat raw! Avocados are an unusual vegetable, very rich in healthy fats (just don't eat too many -- they're very rich in calories). Add to that sweet potatoes, seaweed, eggplant, green beans, and squash -- these you'll have to cook. Legumes (beans and lentils) are not veggies but also GREAT for you. So there's plenty of choices, you just need to find some recipes (search on the web). Raw veggie salad will s always make a good nighttime meal with some source of protein.
