Question by frustrated weightlifter>.<: need help with meals while body building?
ok so I go to school in the mornings work out in the early afternoon then usually go to work from 3, somtimes 5, to 9… I dont like eating alot when I get off work because it messes with my sleep but I cant really eat a big home cooked meal like I need/want with my weight training while Im at work cuz I dont get a break. anyone know what I could maybe eat that would be good to eat and be healthy/good for weight lifting diet. (trying to bulk up but not gain too much fat) currently Im doing protien bars/weight gainer shakes but is there any sort of real food maybe cuz I know its not great to eat a bunch of “meal replacement” stuff

If you do not have time to cook anything it is going to be pretty difficult, but possible. The best way to increase your protein is by eating lean meats. Fish, chicken, and turkey are all great examples. Most people do not have time or the money to eat these all the time. My suggestion for you is to incorporate quick and high protein meals with your protein bars/shakes. For instance, for lunch have a chicken sandwich, but have a lot of chicken in it!

Dinner you can have some fish with the protein shake. Eat the protein bars for snacks. Try to add some fruits and veggies in your diet as well. Hope I helped and good luck!
