Err...diet for gaining weight or losing weight? Got very big difference you know....

I'll start off first even though I'm still a beginner . I'm trying to gain weight btw.

Workouts: Usually mornings of Mon/Wed/Fri.
1. Breakfast immediately after workout:
- 4 slices wholemeal bread
- 2-3 eggwhites (ocassionally with the yolks as well),
- 3-4 sausages (tuna ocassionally)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese added in ocassionally
- 1 cup of Milo before and after workout
- 1 cup HL milk
- 1 cup Peelfresh or Sunkist apple/orange juice ocassionally.

2. Morning snack:
Some cheesy biscuits or 1 granola bar.

3. Lunch: normally economy rice with lots of meat & vege heaped like a small mountain .

4. Tea break: Granola bar or biscuits.

5. Dinner: Whatever's cooked at home usually. Plus 1 whole orange after dinner.

6. About 1 hr before bedtime: 1 cup HL milk.

Also, I bring a big 1.5l container of R.O. water to work. Must finish it even before 6pm.

And yes, you'd notice I don't take protein supplements. I prefer to eat real food.

Hmm....since I usually workout early in the morning at 6.30am, I usually take only a cup of milo b4 heading for the gym. Maybe I should add in some oats to my Milo? And a banana too?

For today's pre workout in the morning I had:
1) Nature Valley Granola bar
2) Milo (sorry darklight79..... too early to prepare any other food)

Post workout:
1) 1 bowl of seafood porridge
2) 4 slices wholemeal bread
3) 1 can of tuna in water
2) 2 hard boiled eggs with yolk
4) 1 cup HL milk
5) 1 cup Ribena (coz ran out of fruit juice... )

Yeah I know, previously it was only Milo and nothing else, hence I added in the granola bar. It's tough to wake up at 6am and prepare more decent stuff considering that I hit the gym half an hour later... Will slowly stock up on more quick-n-easy to prepare stuff...

Yes, take out the yolk unless u want to have high cholesterol. Dairy milk is far better than soya bean in terms of protein content I think, but try those low-fat ones.

True, drinking coffee do make your heart palpitations go higher, I've experienced it before. An even worse case happened to a friend of mine, she goes hyperactive ('crazy') if she drinks coffee.

I think you need to modify your breakfast and lunch. Reduce those high carb stuff if you wanna lose weight.

If you have no other choice but only fried chicken (KFC?), try to remove as much of the deep fried skin as possible and take only the white flesh.

Try putting the eggs and tuna into your post-workout meal, and replace with carbo stuff instead (bread/noodles/rice). You'll need the protein more for muscle recovery and growth.

That's post (after) workout meal, NOT PRE-WORKOUT meal, I hope!

What is your target? To lose or gain? Do you workout btw?

This is interesting: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53327

You can pack your breakfast to work, right?

Why not? Unless they don't even take milk.

How do you wanna be 'keras' if you keep eating loads of fatty stuff that will make you 'lembik'?

Lift weights, and eat more!

Try to reduce all ur intake of food that has the word 'lemak' in it. Seems like you are trying to gain weight....but be healthy when doing it.

I'm having an outbreak of eczema at the moment, still in the process of bulking...but each time i take milk or eggs it seems to be making the itch worse. Any suggestions for alternatives to eggs and milk? I think whey protein is out of the question at the moment too because whey is derived from milk.

Need some help here. I went for a blood test to check for food allergy and seems that I am allergic to milk. Can you guys suggest something else which is not dairy-based to be taken before bedtime?

OK, but aren't these much more quickly absorbed as compared to milk?
