Thanks for the feedback, guys.
I figured it was a food issue. I just find it hard to eat more all day… not sure what else to eat. I already use fitday to monitor my intake.
I already add olive oil and flaxseed oil to everything, but I will switch to whole milk - didnt think of that.
Ballpark daily schedule:
5:45AM - Protein and water on my way to the gym at 5:30AM
7AM - Protein with fat free milk, frozen berries, oatmeal, and flaxseed meal after workout
7:40AM - 2 eggs, some cheese, 3 1200mg fish oil pills, OJ
9AM - Coffee
11:30AM - Whey w milk, oatmeal, flaxseed oil and peanut butter, and a fruit
2PM - rice, home-made guacamole (just avocado, onions, cilantro, tomato, and a little salt) and either a double serving of canned tuna or canned chicken
4PM - 4 slices of turkey and some cheese
7PM - whatever the wife makes. Usually rice, meat of her choice and veggies, with 3 more fish oil pills
Thoughts? What else do you guys bring to work to eat? Maybe if I had some real-life ideas, I’d pack them.

1.Stop counting your macros and calories obssessively. Just eat more.
2.Have some carbs before you work out in the morning, even if it’s fucking liquid carbs–protein powder aint gonna get you through.
3.After you train, have a nice big dose of sugar (I like grape juice and sweet tarts)with a little protein, then a little while after that have a big meal with alot of protein and carbs (preferably something you can eat alot of) and eat like it’s the last time you’ll be eating.
4.Drink whole milk, not fat free, and eat red meat.
