Looking for a meal plan.

[gcyatesy]

Hello everyone. Let me first say this is my first post as I am new to this forum. I am a newbe in the sense of working out. I ahve read big A's post for beginner's. He says that we need to get as close to 500 grams opf protein a day. I get around 200-250 thats with 3 shakes equaling 105 g a lb of cottage cheese for another 50 g. Then I usually have some variation of chicken breast, tuna, egg white's ect.. That adds up to around 250 g. How do I get close to 500 g. I also have to add that I eat a lot of food. I am usually pretty full. Not to mention the shakes are also filling. I take optimum nutrition complete protein diet. Thank you all in advance for any and all info.
Gary.

One or two shakes is enough. Get the rest from real food..

Post your daily diet, from 1st to your last meal of the day.

Start listening to your body...if youre full, then you dont need to eat...unless you want add fat. 500g of protein ed is for the very few who are dialed in on all aspects. Id say maybe 5% of the members on this board need 500g of protein ed...aim for 1-2g per pound of body weight.

Focus now on eating complete meals that include all macros (CHO, PRO, and EFAs). You can supplement your diet with protein shakes between meals for extra protein if you want to. Keep all your meals the same proportion and give yourself 10-14 day trials...In other words, use the mirror, progression in training, and the scale to determine your progress or lack of. Then you can tweek your diet based on your goals.

Get to know your body and listen to it...it will guide you better than any "formula" out there.

Since youre new, this may be overwhelming. Id spend the $250 and hire Phil Hernon for a year...he will set you up perfectly.
