I was kinda hesitant to post my diet here as I'm pretty sure it could be improved in a ton of ways, but at the same time I guess that's why I'm posting here. I still live with my folks and my younger brother so I'm bound to some stuff like dinner and due to my school and work I can't eat rice, potatoes, etc during the day. A quick sandwich or two while standing at my bench (I attend woodworking school), an apple, a shake, stuff like that is the limit though I try and make the best out of it. The Farmers Diet on the Universal site shows it can be done so I'm set on getting it done, one way or another.

Bowl of yogurt w/ muesli (for those not familiar with muesli - it's basically oats, nuts & some dried raisins/apricots)

14:30 or 15:00
3 slices wholegrain bread w/ peanut butter, fish or sliced meat (roast beef, chicken, smoked meat)
Protein shake
17:00 - 18:00 depending on when we all get home from work/school etc
Whatever's being cooked. We don't go wild on rubbish food or anything so usually meat/rice/pasta, some meat (beef or chicken) and veggies. Basic family dinner. Bowl of yogurt for dessert.
Hit the gym at 19:30ish depending on when I finish dinner. Usually wait 45-60 mins after dinner 'till I hit it.
20:30 PWO
Banana/apple/whatever's in the cookie jar (haha)
200ml choc milk
21:00
Protein shake
2 slices wholegrain bread w/ peanut butter or dinner leftovers (not that we get those a lot...)
That's about it. I tried to estimate my daily intake with a food tracker and it depends on what I have for dinner but it came down to 3k+ kcal and close to 200g protein a day which sounds good to me.
My shakes are usually 1 scoop of whey (1 scoop is 30g, 22g protein per scoop) and 30-35g of fine ground oats.
Apart from my shakes and (choc) milk all I really drink is water and tea. Never was a big fan of coffee unless offered and don't like soda. Might drink some fruit juice if I feel like it but it doesn't exceed 1-2 glasses a day if any at all.
I might try and incorporate some whole eggs as right now I only eat those during the weekends when I'm at home. Same goes for cans of tuna though those seem to get more expensive each day...
Stats 'n goals - 6'4, 6'5, something in between... 196lbs. Started Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 with BBB assistance a month ago. Looking to balance strenght and size as I could use both, haha. I reckon as I get stronger the size will come along nicely. Train hard and eat.
If anyone has any suggestions, critics, whatever to improve me while keeping in mind my "limits", go for it. Always open to suggestions.
