So I see a lot on here for folks who eat meat. However, there are others such as myself who don't eat meat. I'm 100% okay with others eating animals, that's your call and I don't judge anyone for that. I figure there are others out there who may have questions and I'm open to share my experience of 10 years of no meats and being in the gym and making gains. I'll just post a daily outline of my diet and a few important considerations. This is not a look at me I'm a veggie thread, more just to help others in need.
Hope this helps!
Supplements you seriously need to take every day.
Amino acids. 13 grams aside from food.
Off day I take in the am.
Training day before and after
Creatine I'm taking 2.5g a day but on cycle I go 5. I've also found that I'm able to come off this for a while and still get stronger in the gym. Everyone is different though.
Omega 3/5 oil - veggie capsules
Good multivitamin
Breakfast
3 whole Egg's
1/2 to a whole avocado
Whey shake with milk
Fruit
3 "Quick heat" pancakes
Triple zero yogurt
Snack
Peanut butter and jelly
On protein bread
Water
Lunch
Soy chikn strips
Green beans
Triple zero yogurt
Brown rice
1/2 avocado
Snack
Crackers with PB
Maybe hummus instead
20g protein bar
Dinner
2-3 black bean patties
3 fried eggs
whey Shake with milk
Greens
I count my protein intake nearly every day. However my diet doesn't really change much so it's easy to have a "feel" as to where my intake is at that point in the day. I get in 180-250+ grams of protein every day.
Calories 3000+ Some day's it's tougher than others, but overall I keep it consistent as possible. I've been able to cut BF% (currently sitting at 9-10% range right now) a lot this summer and continue in a BB'ing track, so I think I'm on the right track, however like anything, there are constant tweaks to the diet based on my individual needs.
If anyone has questions feel free to post on here. Glad to help.
Good luck.
