~ 6 meals day

carbs/vegetables divided b/w 3 meals during the day
protein with all 6 meals (3 meals are solid food protein, usually chicken and tuna, some salmon or sirloin beef)

i cook all the chicken in a big batch 2x a week and the same with rice.

i drink myofusion protein shakes (gaspari nutrition) in the day and syntha6 (eas) in the evenings.

i found the p90x nutrition guide to be very good and the formula for required calories is very close to right on for me.

for muscle gain it's important to keep your protein intake high, but not so high as to put stress on your kidneys, 1 gram per lean pound of body weight seems to be working for me, that translates to ~150 grams of protein daily. i split that into 25 g servings as that is about all i can process effectively at a time, so 25 grams every 2 hours or so.

is that the kind of info you were looking for?

good luck, it's a great program, imo.

:thumbsup

I had a GI problem that lasted for a little over two years that caused me to drop alot of weight. Now that I'm able to kind of eat normal I think my metabolism is probably still set on starvation mode. I don't think I have perm damage, just need to figure out how to get it back to normal.

Right now I have to keep it around 1500 cals just to maintain. My gall bladder is still a little fucked so if I eat garbage like mc d's my stomach "regulates" it for me and it usually comes right back up. Honestly I think I just need to excercise more. My days have been pretty full, haven't even been on GFY much lately :winkwink:, I just need to force myself to make the time.

I'm not familiar with "burbees", but I do know that if you're doing HIIT pushups on weight training days, your ass is going to be sore before you lift your first weight.

thx folks, btw, i am 45 years old

Elli, i am currently on a p90x plan!
although slightly modified- i slow down the resistance training, p90x has it as circuit training with no rest between sets, i want to put on more muscle so i rest 60-90 seconds between sets to be able to do more each set.

cardio is 3x week,

plyometrics- 50 minutes
yoga- 90 minutes
kenpo- 50 minutes

and i do need to tan! lolz
