Fatgene's Journal

[cursor]

What you include in your meals should be limited by the macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate and fat) limitations/allowances that I listed in the recommended plan for you. Look at the nutrition label for each of the foods that you might want to use and determine how much you are allowed. It may be that you'll have to make a better choice to satisfy the requirements.

You might want to consider upgrading to a Premier Membership so that you can download and use this meal planner to help you keep track of your intake.

Fatgene -- It's canned veggies. It's fast and convenient.

Usually before my workout, I will have a serving of oatmeal and a banana.

The diet is starting to look better. I would be careful with the sausage, it may have half its calories from fat. You are much better off with egg whites. You need to incorporate more veggies into the diet. For dinner you can add some steamed veggies like broccoli, califlower, cabbage, aspargus, or squash. All of these are high in fiber and very low in calories. That fiber will help you stay full longer.
