High protein nutrition plan

[provin1327]

I've been going to the gym for a few weeks now, and I've really only been having a protein shake before and after workouts, for everything else I eat healthy but don't really focus on the meal itself. I met with a trainer a few times and this is the nutrition plan he gave me, I wanted to run it by you guys first. Keep in mind I am very tall and slender, 6' 4" 180 lbs

Breakfast: 4-6 egg whites + 2 whole eggs w/ oatmeal, baked potato or rice + berries and fruits

Snack: Protein shake "meal replacement protein" with fruit

Lunch: Chicken or Turkey breast, no deli meats or sandwiches, mixed veggies, rice or baked potatoe

Snack: Protein shake "meal replacement protein" with fruit

Dinner: Same as Lunch, also baked fish and 2-3 times a week eat steak or lean hamburger + pasta

Late snack: Before bed protein shake

But I can't take more non-veg items. Please suggest me any other alternative way to maintain body with valuable protein.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Who's been telling you to have more non-veg protein sources?

Proteins can be obtained mainly through various dietary sources. The daily protein requirement for kids is approximately 0.5 grams per pound of their body weight. Adults need about 60 grams of proteins everyday. Major sources of proteins are meat, fish and seafood, dairy products, eggs, seeds and nuts, soy products, legumes, beans and cereals such as wheat, rice and oats. Most animal foods like poultry, eggs, fish, meat and milk are rich in complete proteins and contain all essential amino acids. Most plant foods such as vegetables, seeds, nuts, grains and legumes contain incomplete proteins, which have small quantities of one or more essential amino acids. Seafood is one of the best sources of proteins with low amounts of fats.

A high protein diet is helpful in healthy weight loss, as it keeps you satisfied and feeling full for a longer time. When you have more proteins and fewer carbohydrates in your diet, you feel less hungry throughout the day, leading to a lower calorie intake. A high protein diet stabilizes blood sugar levels. Some high protein diet plans focus on bodybuilding. Such diet plans include protein bars, protein powders and protein drinks. Some of the popular weight loss diets that include abundant amounts of proteins are the Atkins Diet, Zone Diet and Sugar Busters.

What are ideal meal plans for a high protein diet? Scrambled eggs and sausages for breakfast, a couple of hamburgers without buns for lunch and a juicy steak for dinner can be a perfect high protein meal plan. You can have a couple of protein bars or a protein shake in between. Following are some sample meal plans for a high protein diet.

Is there anyway I can replace lunch and dinner with something vegetarian?

Thanks.

Good plan plan but why you didnt include any fruits and your food chart is more of non-veg foods, if possible try to have vegetarian foods.

Have you posted a diet plan you currently use, or are you looking to use a modified version of the one posted by Provin?

I ask, as I can't see one you posted, so I'm wondering if you're referring to one you posted elsewhere on here?

Vegetarian what? are you looking for some supplements?

[JayG89]

there is a huge range of vegetarian supplements as most protein powders etc use non animal based ingredients as this means global shipping is easier. The best thing to do is make sure you are getting plenty of nuts and things such as cous cous etc all contain large amounts of protein. many seeds have these in too

[JayG89]

also I saw in an article I saw online recently that jodie marsh is vegetarian and she managed to pile muscle on really well. She names some supplements and diet ideas in it too and its a great read for motivation and inspiration http://physiqueoftheweek.com/jodie-marsh-interview" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Nuts are not that good for Protein. If you gt enough from them, it involves having a Cup of Nuts which is around 700 calories, because of the Fat and if they're things like Cashews, Chestnuts and Groundnuts, the Carbs as well. Many Nuts are low carb and don't register on a GI rating list as their effect on bloodsugar is considered negligable. Other ones like Cashews are around 20-25 approximately.

Peanuts are better as they're technically a Legume and more Protein rich.

Not that I'm saying Nuts are bad they're not, but just not quite as Protein rich as some might think.
