Nutrition Question: What is this meal missing?
Hopefully a real nutrition guru can help me out here and let me know what this meal needs. Trying to put together something simple and nutritious and that can fit my budget. Here’s what I’m thinking.
Cup (or two?) of brown rice with some pepper on it. One (or one and a half?) chicken breast, pan seared in one or so tablespoon of olive oil + bit of salt and pepper. Then some kind of vegetable, probably some raw broccoli I think? Wash the whole thing down with a glass of (2%) milk and/or water.
Thinking of trying to use a meal like this for 2/3 (or 3/4) of my daily meals. Just wondering if there’s anything glaringly missing from this, or if anyone had any opinions on specific portion sizes (just keep in mind that I do a lot of weight and resistance training that needs to be fueled). Really, any input would be appreciated. I’m horrible about dieting and don’t -really- know that much about nutrition stuff.
You’re a lifter, so you’re probably going to need 1 1/2 cups of rice…and probably two chicken breasts would not hurt you. You definitely need to add MORE veggies to your meal. The more color, the better…, throw some fruit in for dessert as well.
The average man needs about 2,500 calories a day…and you are likely exerting MORE calories on your lifting days.
You should be snacking on protein items–raw nuts, such as almonds, yogurt, string cheese. Go to the website www.fitbie.com which is a part of the Prevention Magazine company. They have a number of healthy eating plans for different types of people–athletes, those who need to lose weight, etc. You should find something there to help you.
Good luck.
OK, we won’t waste your time any longer…
