Menu for hard training

[London_chick]

Hi guys

I followed DANDR Induction lost most of my weight this way, now working on creating a menu for the next 4 weeks to assist with gaining muscle,loosing fat etc.

Any suggestions most welcome

Training-- what I do daily

Walking 6 miles
Running 1 hour
Either : Weight train (a body part), interval training, trainer session (1-2 hours),yoga or a outside session

----
What I am proposing :

AM: Egg cream shake OR Egg mayo OR 2 Boiled eggs
Snack : Fage with Berries or Coffee w/HWC or 100g cottage cheese
Lunch : 2 "chicken" fillets or Mock danish or 2-3 eggs
Snack: 1oz cheese or Protein shake (just whey and water)

Post evening workout : Omlette with spinach or small serving fage w/davinci or Cottage cheese

I know this is low carb that is my intention due to the nature of the training/MY GOALS for end of feb(wasnt in any way intended to look like atkins induction-done that, know those rules!).

Thanks in advance

Doesn't look like much food to me for all that training

What rung of OWL are you at now?

I can't see much in the way of veggies - not enough for induction levels, let alone OWL.

Hey there,

I agree with Elizellen - that doesn't look like enough food. It is very important to eat enoguh calories so you don't go into starvation mode. I would recommend working out your BMR and then seeing how many calories your typical exercise would burn off and shoot for slightly less than the total (I think 300-500) is the most I would go below the total.

Also, and this is from experience, too much daily exercise can make you feel fatigued and less likely to lose weight (because the body is stubborn when starving). So make sure you have at least 1 rest day a week.

Good luck with your goals! And up the veggies!

I agree with Elizellen and Alexa... more food and more veggies. You'll feel better, workout better and lose better.

Re: Menu for hard training

There is a such thing as too much protein, if you're intaking too much protein and unable to use it, your body will turn it to fat!

However, if you feel like it is the proper amount for your fitness routine then I would say your menu looks ok. I would add a little more food as the others said.
