Steam veggies and chicken breast for me.

Casein protein just before bed.

A thread for your everyday meals, this should give others an idea if they decide to change up their diets.

Tonight I had a leftover burger from the weekend, and some veg - bit high in fat for my liking, but needed eating, and it's not like i'm going to throw good beef away D

My weights stuck at about 73 at the moment - although my fat is going down and my muscle mass is increasing, I seem to have slowed the fat burning down. I'm going to cut down my carbs to 160g a day for the next 2 weeks. Not cutting them out altogether as it's just not smart to train so much and not have carbs, but i'm really going to watch them - most will be from fruit, and to help with recovery after training.

Brown rice and tuna fish with Hoisin & hot sauce. Bit of fresh pineapple for dessert. Should probably have a vegetable as well but I don't have any.

Argentinian bbq style Marinated Steak and fried capsicum tonight.

Grilled salmon steak, with stir fried veg (lots of) cooked with chillis & ginger.

Will hopefully be a bit more appetising than the humungous bowl of scrambled egg whites I had last night!!!

Salmon sounds good mate, might give that a go in a few weeks. Anything beats a bowl of egg whites lol, i used to have it for dinner every night for like 3 weeks straight. Worked heaps good though, in shredding.

Anyone have any views on how much carbs are required? It seems to me that there is a very fine line between getting enough to support muscle growth / recovery and gaining fat. Now I'm getting older (nearly 40) I seem to struggle more than ever to get the balance right.

It sounds like Eddie has got it right. Any thoughts?

paleo has worked very well for me. lean protein, vegetables, nuts. add a high carb day every 3rd or 4th day or so with fruit

I weigh 70kgs and look to get 2 grams of carbs per kg, dropping down to 1.5 gram on non-training days. The truth is though, everyone is different. Keep experimenting till you get it right.

I had brown rice and lentils. Its a lot of carbs to have in the evening but its still good for ya. Lots of water and carrot sticks. I'm going on a big time cut for the next month. Going to try the no carb/very limited carbs after lunch bit the boxer fella was talking bout. Looking to drop 7-10lbs.

I stayed lean throughout winter last year.

You should give it a wack mate, egg whites for dinner for 2 straight weeks.

Had subway lastnight. Multigrain footlong, chicken breast, old english cheese, all salads with hot chilli sauce and a Bottle of water.

It aint too bad, but im trying to cut my carb intake this month, so

How many eggs does it take to produce enough whites for a dinner?

Extra large eggs usually contain around 3 grams of protein.

I used to have around 9 eggs. Sometimes i fried it, but most of the time, i boiled the whole egg then removing the yellow.

Cheers guys, some interesting points.

I have about 160g of carbs 3 days a week, and 200-220g 4 days a week. I weigh 90Kg. I've lost a lot of fat (and am continuing to do so), but have also lost more muscle mass than I would like.

I'm going to give it a try. When I get sick of eggs I will substitute tuna instead. This month is going to be the month I stop being a lazy putz and actually drop the weight I want to. Just started the day with Steel Cut Oats. They taste SO much better than regular rolled oats.

Chicken with a bit of honey and ginger marinade, and salad.

Cutting my carbs down to 160g per day has helped me drop 1.5kg already this week D

Tuna, steamed spinach and a lot of water. Just had a snack of 1/2 carton of liquid egg whites straight from the carton and about 10 almonds. :)

I cannot wait for my cheat meal on Sunday. Going to have a 1/2lb Bacon Cheeseburger and an order of chicken fingers with plenty of ranch. D

My main carb intake is basmati rice during lunch.

Might give this a try, trying to drop about 8kg's in about as many weeks.

Chicken and veg yesterday, vinderloo tonight lol. Also, the can of tuna I have had every weeknight before bed is fornicating me off. Put a inch of my biceps and calves in3 weeks though.

Tuna, 3 boiled egg whites and couliflour & broccoli cheese last night.

Chicken curry tonight - it will be healthy home-made one though. Will have a decent portion of rice, as I tend to load up on carbs over the weekend.
