3rd Cycle Please Advise

Having a protein shake as soon as I wake sounds like a very good idea, I would definetly agree with the need for the simple carbs.

Meal 5, pre-workout also makes sense and would be much easier for me, do you think the 40-50 grams of protein is that beneficial for pre-workout. I thought simple/complex carbs and unsaturated fat were more important

Meal 6 So a quality weight gain shake would be sufficient?

As far as soy goes I do not add a protein powder just soy milk. Where did you read about the soy was it in a milk advertisement? ha ha

thanks for the advice, please respond

the simple carbs before your workout are so your muscles are getting fed while you lift and so you have something to burn. Complex carbs ingest too slow to utilize them during your workout. The weight gainer shake post workout is fine if it contains sugars as a source of carbs.

As far as the soy protein, i cannot remember what magazine i read it in but if it is a possibility that it will lower test levels then i wouldn't want to risk it.

This is really helpful but I do have some questions:

Meal 1: Im not a big fan of eggs anymore so by "2 scoops" do you mean protein?
Meal 2: The almonds are high in fat just not saturated fat, would this be a good choice to add to this meal?
Meal 4: The mayo makes sense but why lettuce? Why not broccoli or a veg with more nutrition? Is this just your preference?
Meal 5: How long before my workout and what would be a good sample meal?
Meal 6: Sometimes I only have time for a shake, and this is only a 1/2 serving. Would that be ok or not?
Meal 7: Just add the flax seed or fish oil to my shake right, how much?

Thanks

1: yes, protein
2: yes
4: you can use what you want, just what I prefer
5: 30 min, sample would be 16 oz lean chicken breast, 3/4 cup rice or potatoe, 1 apple.
6: Just make sure you get your required carbs and protein here, this is the most important meal of the day imo, if you must drink a weightgainer make your own like ronzoid suggested. 40-50 g protein and double the carbs.
7: yup, 3-5 grams is what most people take.
