ZMA and HTP are to help you rest.

The 5-HTP helps you relax by stimulating the release of serotonin, and also works as an anti depressant. Quite often you get it prescribed as an anti depressant actually. The ZMA, which is Zinc Magnesium something or other is meant to help you get in to a very deep sleep I think. Meant to give you trippy dreams though lol.

Yeh mate thats like a base diet, if I find Im not gaining anymore I add more carbs. But tend to add them earlier rather than later. But sometimes Ill just add a couple rice cakes to the 9 oclock, with a bit peaunt butter

Hemorage and testpump and just other pre-workout products. I have them all in my cupboard. I find if I mix them up they stay more effective. Try not to use them everyworkout but been training at a higher intensity lately so been finding them almost necessary.

Yeh mate exactly that, dont directly make you feel tired but when you do get to sleep they are ment to get to into REM sleep earlier. Hence the better recovery. Woke up 2 hours early this morning and felt wide awake, and thats not like me!

I know the diet isnt perfect but I, like most young lads dont want to spend all my spare time preparing food and then being skint because of the cost of it all. All of my meals take no longer than 15 mins to prepare, and think I worked the cost out to be around £6-7/day. With the supps making it more like £10/day (ish)

[Proffitt]

Mine is nothing special and it's just really for keeping healthy and keeping protein up...I think.

Here goes;

Meal 1 ~ 7:00am
2-3 slices of whole grain toast with 3 scrambled eggs
A hand full of dried fruit
1 glass of fresh orange
Multi Vitamins

Meal 2 ~ 10:00am
Portion of fruit
1 serving of Whey

Meal 3 ~ 1:00pm
Chicken breast
100g Sweet Potato
Mixed leaf salad
Handful of Natural Nuts

Meal 4 ~ 4:00pm
1 chicken chicken / tuna / ham sandwich with whole grain bread


Post Workout
1 serving of Recovery XS
or
Whey


Meal 5 ~ 7:00pm
What ever mum and dad cooks really, 9 times out of 10 its really healthy.

Meal 6 ~ 10:00pm
150 - 200g low fat yoghurt
Portion of Fruit
or
Some teaspoons of peanut butter

During the day, I drink about 6 pints of water and the odd green / herbal tea.

The diet seems to work and i've noticed a difference when sticking to it

Feel free to modify / comment / give advice as i'm willing to listen and change things

[Giraffe]

Get some more protein in meal 6, casein if you can afford to buy some, if not, then I dunno what else is slow digesting... egg whites? Any protein really would be good.

[matt_vtr_15a]

Currently on a healthy diet more than anything, not particularly fussed about losing or gaining weight. Mainly just eating right and training hard and should get leaner as a result....

Breakfast: 7.30am

4 Whole eggs scrambled with a dash of semi-skimmed milk.

Brunch: 10.00am

Muller Light with a 30g serving of whey protein and a piece of fruit

12.30

Tin of salmon or mackerel OR generous serving of chicken with a small serving of boiled rice and some fresh pineapple and soy sauce.

Muller Light with a 30g serving of whey protein and a piece of fruit

17.00

Gym Session aided with a large bottle of water.

18.15

Post workout shake

19.15

Usually a chicken dinner / stir fry / salad / omlette

(My mum cooks this and she is strict to a slimming world diet so usually plenty of protein and generally healthy)

21.00
At this time I normally have a kettlebell session if I can manage after the workout.

21.30

Usually destroy some leftover meat from the dinner that my mum leaves a side, pretty much protein only at this time...

23.01 - 23.03 (Approx)

Bounce with the girlfriend if she is around / up for it / generally free from headaches or period pains....

[Chico999]

Currently on a lean bulk

Breakfast - Protein shake with semi-skimmed milk and a tablespoon of natural peanut butter.

4pm - Wholewheat pasta with tuna - protein and peanut butter shake.

Workout 5 till 6.

Protein + Peanut butter shake postworkout.

Not really into taking lots of supplements apart from the shake. Getting good gains from this, will post up my cutting diet when it begins.

Yeah its a funny one that as you literally have no control over your diet

One of my mates has come back from a tour huge though, he used the fact he had no control of his diet as an oppurtunity to bulk! Just ate anything and evrrything he could get his hands on...Ran a cycle whilst out there as he was bored with nothing to do in his downtime!

I imagine the meals are fairly well balanced though maybe a kittle higher in carbs and lower in protein than you would ideally want but it can be used to your advantage if you train to compensate for it and im sure you can supplement protein in.

I used to think carbs where the devil but i'd never cut them from a diet again!

[Yates]

I wouldn't cut them, but due to carbs being cheap and protein more expensive everything is beefed up with carbs. I'd imagine out afghan and that it's different but on ship there is little choice There is only so much you can store in the ship's fridges. And altho could ask for something a bit different and cater for diet. The amount that train would no doubt want same. Think only time they would cater is if you are massively over weight. When I go away I couldnt bulk do too much cv. Also meal times are 7/12/7 and the shop on ship doesn't sell anything you could eat as a worth while snack.
