Not only am I trying to eat for IBS...I am also trying to eat to improve my workout at the gym.
I am trying to gain muscle and strength.
Therefore I have a few additional questions
1) Am I getting enough protein?
-For my gym goals and body type (5 11 175 lbs) how much protein do I need on weight lifting and non weight lifting days to grow?
-Am I currently meeting it?
2) What about carbs...same questions?
3) What about fiber?
-Am I with Oat Bran/oatmeal at breakfast+frozen spinach at night+3 tablespoons of Benefiber getting enough fiber?
-Do I need more Benefiber?
4) What about water...is 32 oz enough+a few glasses of juice/ginger ale or do I need more fluids?
-How much of it must be water?
5) Basic food that keeps getting recommend for me by people at the gym is a diet like this:
Quote:
meal 1
1 fruit
1 serv oats
meal 2
nuts
1 serv milk
meal 3
samwhich of some sort (anything you want basically)
1 fruit
nuts
meal 4
lean meat
potatoes
veggies
meal 5
milk
nuts
veggies
meal 6
cottage cheese
Is there something I can do to replace all the nuts/milk/cheese?
-Weight trainers usually eat this because it contains protein, good fats, and digests slower.
-I can not tolerate nuts or dairy.
-Are there any substitutes which can have the similar effect of
-adding protein and slowing the need/desire to keep eating?
6) I do not take calcium pills...could this be a problem for me at the gym?
