My breakfast has 32 grams of protein and 78 grams of carbs in it. If I remember correctly Boyd has stated that carbs are more important in the morning than protein?? Could be wrong, but something to do with restoring your glycogen?? (I know I spelled that wrong)

My 4 pm meal is kinda a preworkout meal in a sense, as it takes a few hours to digest and get the absorbtion from the nutrients, and the Banana and shake is the right before I walk out the door to go lift.

I do eat as soon as I get home for my post workout meal, which is usually 30 mins after my last set.

I am open to suggestions, I just wanted to state my reasoning behind this diet, I used to throw a cup of oats in my shake preworkout. Should I do that instead,and if I take some of the carbs out of my diet what should I replace them with to get my calories??

Also I have no problem eating the same thing everyday, I did to bulk and it didnt bother me at all. I really look at food as a necessityto get my body where I want it, not a pleasure.

Thanks for your input guys, I am going to start a log and I would appreciate input there as well.

Well listen to Boyd as he is the man on the subject.

I am carrying too much bodyfat actually to be talking on the subject matter.
I am a seasoned vet with gym and lifting experience, but I am still a novice in the kitchen......

I am like you in regards to eating the same thing, I can do it daily with no problems, but I have also heard that in order to get the full spectrum of amino's needed, it was better to get your protein form a variety of sources.

Good luck man
