I work from 10-7 mon-fri. I'm going to for seriously start working out. I use to be in shape cardiovascularly when I went to BJJ..but not so much in the muscle department. I am 5'10 and weigh 150lbs. For the first time I am going to start lifting as well as running, but I am troubled as to what to eat when. My schedule in the morning usually consists of getting up at 9-9:30 to be clocked in at 10 b/c I live close to work. I usually go to bed anywhere from 12-2am, and I'm not really looking to change that sleeping habit lol. I can say I will but I know I won't. I think I want to drink a shake in the morning (meal replacement shake?) as I don't have too much time to goof around and fix a meal. I get a 10 min break at 12, a 30 min lunch at 2, and another 10 min break at 5. I am totally confused as to what I can eat that is healthy that I won't be starving all day that is fast. After work at 7 is when I plan to hit the gym, a protein shake after working out, and then having dinner later. Any ideas as what to eat during the day while at work?
This is my meal replacement shake, I highly recommend it (though it doesn't answer your "at work" question) 8 oz water or rice milk 36 grams of brown rice protein (digestable, and AWESOME amino acid complement) (blend til smooth) add: 1 bannana 4 tablespoons natural peanut butter (blend til smooth) add: 1 can coconut milk (massive calories, very healthy saturated fat) 6 frozen strawberries or other berries (blend til smooth) DRINK!!! You will feel a happy buzz if you make it just as I described. SO healthy. The coconut milk is almost all saturated fat (if you read the info on the label) but if you google it, you'll find it is a very healthy saturated fat. Hard to understand when we consider saturated fat so bad for us - but it is a massive exception to the rule. Good luck!
I like to make these type of bars. 1 cup Natural peanut butter 8 tablespoons honey 1&1/4 cups whey protein powder 1 cup of uncooked oatmeal Mix the pb and honey in a bowl, microwave on full for 80 secs. Add the rest and mix together, can add raisins/nuts etc to taste. Smooth into 13x9 tray and leave for 20 mins. Cut into 10 to 12 equal bars and wrap and store in fridge, I use seran warp but bags work just as well. I also like to have pasta, noodles, or something like that during my lunch time.
