Try this program on for size and notice the size you just might see.
Meal 1 - 7:00am
1 packet of a meal replacement with 16 ounces of skim milk
1 serving of whole grain cereal
1 cup of non/low-fat yogurt
1 piece of fruit
Meal 2 - 9:00am
1 serving of whey protein mixed in 10 ounces of water
1 large apple
Meal 3 -12:00pm
2 grilled chicken breasts
1 serving of brown rice
1 cup of low-fat yogurt
1 serving of whey protein
Meal 4 - 3:00pm
1 packet of a meal replacement with 16 ounces of water and 5-10 grams of
L-Glutamine
1 large banana
Pre-Workout
1 workout bar of your choice (preferably some carbs and 20+ grams of
protein)
Meal 5 - 6:00pm (Post-workout)
1 serving of whey protein combined with a 5gram serving of Creatine
mixed in kool-aid. (This is an important meal and is designed for an
insulin spike at just the right time to increase creatine and amino acid
uptake by the muscle cells).
Meal 6 -7:00pm
8 to 10 ounces of a lean round or flank steak
1 serving of rice
1 medium baked potato
1 large green salad
Meal 7 - 10:00pm
1 packet of a meal replacement with 16 ounces of skim milk
1 large banana
3 to 5 grams of L-Glutamine
And that's about it. Simple? You will be significantly increasing the protein uptake. Which means you should be increasing that water consumption as well. I'm not a fan of waking up at 1:00am to get more protein and therefore, I did not include anything beyond 10:00pm. I've noticed some significant gains from this program. My workouts were hardcore but my nutrition was lacking. By putting my eating times to a set schedule, I felt better during the day and was even more ready to tackle that workout later in the day.
Good luck,
