I'll look into Pentcarb. I used Universal Gain Fast that's supposed to be 880 cals per serving, I saw slight gain but because of the milk content it triggered my sinuses I stopped taking it (I can't have cheese or milk)
My diet is 6 boiled or fried eggs for breakfst if I'm in a rush in the morning I'll have them when I get home. Lunch is usually brown rice veg and chicken breast or fish (I don't eat red meat) . During the day I'll eat nuts and peanut butter on whole wheat. What nutrient dense foods do you recommend ?
I can tell you from Experience the Universal Gain Fast is a low quality supplement. I didn't realize how low quality most supplements were until I started looking into medical grade supplements and supplements sold from Canada. Most of the Universal Gain Fast is filler. If your BCAA powders say proprietary blend that means sugar or the cheapest AA's they can add to keep cost down. I'll say it again. Bulk Supplements and True nutrition has saved me a ton of money and I get better quality supplements. They don't advertise to keep cost down.
To answer your quality foods question. I eat a variety of things. I eat all types of meat. Animals only
. The leaner the meat the less you have to eat get your protein intake. For example, I'm less stuffed eating 50 grams of protein from shrimp than I am eating 50 grams of protein from ribeye because of the fat on the ribeye. I don't count calories. Just macro's.
So for breakfast I had 50 Grams of Argentinean Shrimp for breakfast with a handful of walnuts. And yes, i mean my hand was full. I don't measure my fat. I only measure the carbs that come from my pentacarb. IMO nothing else is worth measuring.
For lunch I had a large salad with a sliced hard boiled egg, mushrooms, sliced red bell pepper, carrots and garnished with walnuts (not a handful). Topped with a lime vinaigrette I made. I had 50 grams of chicken breast.
Snack. Same as above but without the meat.
Dinner. Salad with a balsamic vinaigrette and more shrimp. 50 grams of protein and garnished with more walnuts.
Before bed i'll have 70% or above dark chocolate and a glass of red wine 2 to 3 days a week.
If I worked out I'd have basically the same thing as above with different meats and different vegetables. My pre workout is 2 shots of espresso. During my workout I'd have water with 20g BCAA and 20 g EAA assuming I'm trying to build muscle and not lift for strength. Post workout I do 60 grams of protein and pentacarb with Red Cherry juice or Pineapple juice.
Healthy foods I eat are a variety of vegetable but be careful with carrots because they're sneaky. They're full of sugar.
When I'm lean I'll eat cantaloupe, pineapple, grapes, cherries and other high sugar fruits.
When I'm "fat" I'll eat berries (not strawberries) for fruit instead. Buy what's in season.
For fat I eat Pistachio's, walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews and rotate them so I don't create a food intolerance. I buy them all in bulk from Sam's club and keep the cost down. Way down.
I just reread your post. Don't skip breakfast unless you intermittent fast, not my thing but I get it. Also, if you have a problem with running late make a double portion of meat for dinner and eat the leftover for breakfast.
