First Breakfast: A protein shake consisting of 20-40 grams of whey protein with water not milk. Along with ½ a cup of blueberries.
Second Breakfast (30-60 minutes later): 10 egg whites, ½ tomato, ¼ green pepper. After fully cooked put that into a low carb wrap and add a couple of slices of all natural sliced turkey.
Meal 2 (2-3 hours later)- 2 cans of tuna with chopped celery and a pinch of salt.
Lunch (2 hours later)- Four 99% fat free skinless boneless chicken breasts. Separate them into wraps put two chicken breasts into each low carb wrap.

* On workout days, aim to consume 20 to 22 calories per pound of body weight for the day. Cut your intake down to about 18 calories per pound of body weight on non-training days. That'll help to keep your mass gain on the muscle side, not the fat side. Up your protein to two grams per body weight on both rest and training days, you can get the protein from sources such as whey/casein protein and the whole foods you consume throughout the day.
