TweetAlso will be drinking at the very least 1 gallon of water a day, but my goal is 2 gallons. I will be mixing in milk, green tea and real fruit juicing now and then for there added benefits but i will be drinking just water other then that.

Tweetone other thing. I cannot eat between 3:15pm and 4pm as i will be getting ready for work and driving to work. I cannot eat from 4pm-6pm as its very budy at my work. Although I do buy cliff bars and other healthy protein bars that i can eat during those times but no meals

Tweetso what are your goals in this diet?
bulking up or cutting? or just slimming down?
your last meal is to late to eat. it will only be OK to eat a meal at 10pm if your a late night gym guy, only to put back carbs and etc that you burn at the gym.
if your not a night time gym person then this is a big NO, cause all those carbs are doing is sitting in your body cause at night your not as active at you are during the day to burn some carbs up.
I eat 6 meals a day STRICK DIET.
all i eat is chicken breast 7oz, talapia 6oz, sweet potatoes 6oz, 1/4 cup of dried almonds this is your healthy fat, almonds. 1/2 oats. breakfast 1 whole egg, with 8 egg whites. last meal of the day is 8 egg whites, 1 cup of spinach and 1oz of dried mozzarella cheese. and ill get this last meal in around 730pm .
i have the whole lay out for this.
cals intake 2200
carb intake 160
fat intake is 51.1
protein 330
But i am just triming down some, then my diet will be super strick, wen it comes time to compete.
I am up at 5am every day just to get these meals in on a daily basic.
if your looking to loose weight cut out the pasta, breads,fruit.

i dont even eat protein bars, but i will take 30g of protein with me to work if i cant eat it. but my boss knows i am into bodybuilding so he lets me eat my meals.
warm up your food and eat it while your driving. i eat every 2and a half to every 3hrs yes it can be hard sometimes.
But i have a goal and that is to be #1 wen it comes time to compete. and I will achieve this goal.
i spend so much time in my kitchen, cooking,prepping and weighing out my foods.

TweetI was the same way then i join Team Dream Quest, its a bodybuilding team and we also got some iffb pro in are team very well known team. google it look us up sometimes
the owner of the team is a NPC judge and his girlfriend is Kiana Phi Ifbb Pro

then from 4 to 6 pick up some good protein bars with good cals and fats in them along with a protein shake, thats all U can do then. but just dont settle for any bars, u might have to pick them up online from BB.com or somthing. along with some weight gainer.

TweetI am no expert as well, but this worked for me during the winter...

Try and move your first meal to 6am or 7am, and eat every 2.5-3 hours there after. If you decide 7am your pre workout shake with dex and protein, and the same afterwards. One of those can count as a meal maybe, and then you'll have 1pm, 4pm, and 7pm still open for real food. Unless your metabolism is fired up and you get hungry at the 2-2.5 hour mark, you could possibly have a real meal at 10 and still be ready to kill the gym at 11am. Maybe a ceasin shake before bed, or a regular protein shake with peanut butter to slow things down. I think fishoil does the same.

TweetI have been eating cliff bars. I can maybe have a protein shake with some oats in it and a protein bar and some hard boiled eggs. i can eat but it has to be very quick and easy no heating anything up. I really dont want to lose that 10pm meal all together ill have to find a time to place it somewhere else. Are you sure its to late to eat event though i wont be going to sleep for another 3-5 hours? im looking to gain another 20 to 30 pounds of muscle and get down to about 10-12%bf id say im about 20% right now. I have never cared about diet really before i would shove anything and everything i could in my mouth and eat as much i could. it worked good but i gained much more fat and water weight then id like and was probably very unhealthy. I am looking to be much healthier and gain muscle while limiting fat that i gain.

my issues is im not trying to wake up that early. I work till 12am everynight and i dont sleep great i 9am is the earliest i will be waking up. I was going to start waking up around 9:45am and getting ready for 10am breakfast. 9am is the absolute earliest i will be waking up. my days off i will be sleeping more to 10am-11am or so. I work my ass off i need my sleep.

TweetIf i just so happen to wake up at 8am then i will start my day then but i wont be starting my day that early

Tweetwhat if i could somehow eat at 5pm and push my next 2 meals up to 7pm and 9pm would i be good then?

TweetDude that is a shit loa of carbs. Not an expert but unless your prolly 270+ and very lean that amount of carbs you will gain a lot of fat IMO. Also, try not to mix your fats and carbs in meals.
