nutrition help, when to eat carbs and protein>>

[superX]

Everytime I read a muslce mag I get more confused on what to eat and when. Here is a typical day for me:

730 am OJ, yogurt
830 am 1/2lb cottage cheese w/ fresh fruit
1030 am 2 hard cooked eggs w/ tuna and cheese cold
100 pm 1/2 chicken or 1/2 turkey breast
230 pm 1/2lb cottage cheese w/ fresh fruit
400 pm 1/2 chicken or 1/2 turkey breast with rice
500 pm protein shake 40g's
600 pm pre-work out carb drink
630 workout
800 pm 4 eggs and bacon or tuna and pasta



I read you should have a protein drink IMMEDIATELY after working out, true?

TIA for any help!

What are your goals??

[superX]

I'm a hardgainer, high metabolism. I'm 5'10" 175lbs 32 y/o. before I started lifting and taking as I was 140lb 3 1/2 years ago.

I always work out at night too if that makes a difference.

I'm currently on a deca/dbol/test cycle and hope to gain another 15lbs or so.

I don't salt food, drink soda or eat sweets.

hey i don't know is this makes a diff or something.. but i kinda read that a protein shake an hour b4 a workout is really great. No carbs.. just protein.. coz uptake of protein during the workout is improved 2.5 times as compared to post workout protein uptake. it supposed to help burn more fat and put on more lean muscle.(the pre-workout protein shake does everything but wash your gym clothes for you.. hehe...)
just checked it out.. it was written by Brett Hall, R.D for the mag Muscle Media March 2003.

looks like in a lot of your meals you're only getting about 16g of protein...start by eating atleast an entire chicken breast per meal, or 30g of protein.

When I say 1/2 chicken, I mean 1/2 a chicken! The turkey breast says 6 servings 60g protein I split it in 2.
