I think you should increase to at least 4 solid meals and 2 drinks . right now I do 5 solids and one liquid . food is king .

How much weight are you trying to lose? Please no offense but this is either a big guy trying to lose a lot of weight or a chick kind of diet. If you're just trying to lean up some you can throw another meal or two in there.

I don't think 3 shakes is optimal but it's not going to kill you...especially if you're dieting, though, you're going to be much hungrier than if you were eating whole food with cruciferous veggies for example

For fat loss

If the goal here is fat loss I would recommend placing the carbs split pre and post lift (whatever time that is) and the rest of the day do the fat/ pro combos. Remember that insulin (secreted in response to carb intake) is counter regulatory to the natural fat burning hormones :headbang:

 

[wizim]

and how many grams of protein in one shake?

3 whole food meals
3 25g protein shakers
(1 of the shake meals pairs with a banana and almonds)

I think this style of diet can be highly effective for many people.

The only thing I would change is removing carbs from meal 1 or reducing them and shifting them to around training. Pre and post. Also have some EAAs and some carbs intra workout.

Everyone always says shakes are bad, but why? Because it lacks the nutrients of whole food? Well what if you are chicken every meal, you are lacking there too...

There is research demonstrating that liquid meals (shakes) induce a higher thermogenic effect on the body.

Additionally, some of Layne Norton's research suggests 3-4 whole food meals interspersed by amino acids or shakes to elevate protein synthesis may be more effective than all food meals. This is due to an interesting finding they saw, although levels of protein synthesis dropped off around 3 hours after high protein, mixed macro, whole food meals, I believe around 60g protein, levels of blood amino acid levels were still elevated.

Eating a whole food meal at that time wouldn't be as effective as just having a shake, which will not elevate blood amino as levels as long, and then follow up the shake with a food meal.

Decide it to change it up:

Breakfast:-8oz Xtra lean ground beef-48G Protein
-5 whole eggs-30G Protein
-1 cup(Dry Oatmeal)
-1 banana


Lunch:-8oz Xtra lean ground beef-48G Protein
-5 whole eggs-30G protein
-1 cup Brown rice
-1 Cup Brocolli




Diner:-2 chicken breast(60G Protein)
-1 Big Yam
-1 cup brocolli + 1 salades

Going to see how my body React to the increase Carbs and Overall Calories.

Its still 216G Of High Quality Protein.Fats are ok with the whole eggs and Beef.

Still telling you drop the carbs from meals not around training.

Once you elevate insulin levels you aren't going to burning fat.

John Meadows has also discussed the rationale for limiting carbs early on in the day as it shifts your body to burn more fatty acids and increases insulin sensitivity around training, when you want it.
