I'm Backkkk

I woke up this morning at 7:15 and had my usual bulking breakfast of 1 cup of oatmeal, 4 whole eggs (scrambled), and a glass of orange juice. At 11:15, I had my first of three protein shakes for the day. Although I don’t recommend waiting 4 hours between meals, I had no choice today because of my classes. I had lunch at 1:00 which consisted of two whole wheat wraps with a slice of turkey breast and a half a piece of American cheese on each. I usually prefer to eat much more of a meal for lunch when trying to put on muscle mass but again because of class, I didn’t have the time for anything else and hadn’t pre-made any meals, which I highly recommend doing. Immediately after class, at 4:30, I took my pre-workout drink along with around 10 whole wheat crackers. I got to the gym at around 5:00 for my usual Monday work out of primarily chest with a few tricep exercises (just enough to get a pump).

End Time- 6:10pm

After my workout I had my post-workout protein shake followed by a glass of chocolate milk (I’ve found this post-workout combination to be beneficial when trying to put on some pounds). About an hour after my post-workout shake, I had approximately 8 oz of baked chicken breast for dinner. I would usually have a much larger dinner than this, especially adding in plenty of carbs, but today I haven’t been properly prepared, as you’ve seen. At 9:45, I had a snack of two rice cakes with 3 tbsp of natural peanut butter for a snack. I will have my final protein shake tonight at around 11:30 before I go to bed.

Daily Supplementation:
Breakfast: Multivitamin, Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil
Pre-Workout: NO Shotgun, 1 tbsp creatine and 1 tbsp arginine (all mixed together)
Post-Workout: 1 tbsp creatine mixed into protein shake
Bedtime: 1 tbsp arginine mixed into protein shake
