My diet, critiques and eggs question

[Leiurus]

I just started my second week of a TestE250mg/Eq450mg/w/16w.

I want it to be a lean mass cycle, here's my actual diet:

meal 1 (breakfast):
4 slices whole bread with PB
2 whole eggs/6 eggs white (raw) with OJ
1.5 scoop whey
1 cup of coffee

meal 2:
3 hard boiled eggs

meal 3 (lunch):
220g chicken or fish or red meat (lean with not extra fat)
150g carbs (rice or pasta, evetually potatoes) on WO days
Steam cooked green veggies on cardio days

meal 4:
1 mashed hard boiled egg
140g caned tuna
100g cottage cheese
I blend all this mess together and wrap it in a thin sheet of lavash bread (1 sheet=20g)

meal 5:
3 scoops whey protein with water

---WO or cardio---

meal 6 (PWO):
2 scoops strawberry ice cream
2 bananas
2 pears or 2 kiwis or 2 slices of fresh pinneaple
6 egg whites
2 scoops whey .


meal 7:
300g chicken or pink salmon or lean steak
steam cooked green veggies

What do you think of it?

I'm a little bit worried about the large amount of eggs, both raw and cooked, that I eat daily, isn't it unhealthy?

Any input appreciated

as long as your egg whites are pasterized i wouldnt worry about it...

if there raw non-pasterized egg whites, they will strip away biotin and are also not as well absorbed BV wise for protien content.

and far as your concern about eating eggs, i am assuming whole..your only eatting what 6 whole eggs ED...i eat upward of 8-12 daily...whole eggs hold the highest BV and have a plethera of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and other nutritents they are great for wt lifters. i see no problem. and if your concerned about cholestoral, dont be its been proven that egg consumption has minamal impact on blood cholestoral levels.
so eat up.

BTW i have horrible spelling capabilities.
so dont judge my posts by my ability to spell.

I agree with Adidamps2, eggs should be a major part of your diet. The protein and vitamins (especially the yoke) are just what you need, and they are cheap and tasty.

Actually no, my raw eggs aren't pasteurized...I don't worry for salmonella but for protein assimilation and cholesterol. I knew that eggs have a low impact on cholesterol level but eating 6 whole ones and 12 whites a day get me a little paranoid.

BTW Adidamps your recipes thread sould be a sticky.

Big Dane> yes, eggs are the perfect protein source: easy and quick to chug down raw, easy to carry hard boiled, full of protein and cheap ass hell, I don't know what I'd do without them.

You have a diet set up but what are the macro totals?

thanks for the sticky comment...


however my concern is not really salmonella either , its the fact that raw egg whites that ARE NOT pateurized are not BV friendly...instead of the 90-100BV it should have (when pastuerized or whole) it drops to 50%...that means the 3g of protien per egg white it should have it now drops to 1.5g due to BV being so low do to the avalin (sp) amino acid present.

my suggestion is to buy either pastuerized egg whites (available in most grocery stores) or buy 100% powdered egg whites (not some flashy shit, just plain old egg white powder) and use that in place of your raw egg whites.

Thanks, that's the answer I was looking for, I knew there was something with raw eggs digestibility....

The problem is where I live there is no pasteurized egg whites, it simply doesn't exist.

I'll have to reconsider the place of raw eggs in my diet, chugging down almost useless food is not something I need....

 

[adidamps2]

most places that sell whey also sell egg powder. so if you order off line you can get it almost any were.

62 US dollars for 10 pounds of egg whites right here: http://storesense.paradata.dxstorm.com/sportprotein/Detail.bok?no=1

I currently eat 40 egg whites per day. Off season I will eat 2 eggs per day plus egg whites. The yolk is chock full of nutrients but full of cholestorol. I had bloodwork done and it came back perfect except for high amounts of cholestorol. I cut out egg yolks and the amount of nuts/nut butters I was eating and it came back perfect a few months later.

The strawberry ice cream on a cutting cycle.......meh. I might go with strawberry yogurt of strawberry frozen yogurt instead.

And off season I limit bread sources to 2 per day....with you it should probably be about 4 per day. Not the best carb in the world. Although certainly one of the more delicious ones.

 

[adidamps2]

yes but was your cholestorol levels bad or just high??? there is a differnce.

I can't remember the exact term used. All I know is I was told to get it down or I would have to go on meds.

What's the difference you're referring to?

 

[adidamps2]

having high cholestorol but with in normal specs HDL to LDL levels IMO is not as big of a concern as its made out to be, however high cholestorol and having LDL levels high but low HDL levels is bad...

More protien for Meal 2

 

[TheJackal]

more veggies

 

[Leiurus]

Thank you all for inputs.

Miss Muscle>I'm not cutting, not anymore, I'm just looking to add lean mass without putting too much fat if any.

You could be right with the bread stuff, my breakfast is a 1000/1200 cals one and I feel stuffed for hours, dropping a few hundreds of cals could help me too ingest more protein on meal 2 as BigArms suggested.

Concerning the ice cream (actually it is not ice cream but sorbet, which is made with water, not milk) I could be completely wrong but I don't think that 30g of it is really worse than the huge amount of dextrose suggested for PWO shakes.

BigArms>you're right, I'm still looking for a way to increase solid protein on that meal (I chug these eggs with 2 scoops of whey and water, but I want to switch as much shakes as possible for solid food). I don't like the idea of using tuna as it would make me ingest 2 cans a day and I'm a little bit worried with the mercury stuff.

Jackal>That will be hard! Could I up my fruit intake instead? Eating a few of them here and here isn't a problem, cooking brocolis at work is more problematic...
