I’ve charted my diet for a couple days now and I find that I’m averaging about 2,050 calories per day. Not nearly enough. I hate my school for its scheduling. I look at it now and I probably should be eating around 9:30 and the 5 hour gap between meals after lunch has to be changed because in no way is it beneficial to my lifting. Nutrition is something that I’ve had interest in for a while and I even took a class on it this year unfortunatly that class if for the slowest of minds basically covering the simplest of concepts.
Extra Information:
-The velocity sports training, is an actual center in which as a team we go and do conditioning, plyometrics, work on running form, and core work. I was impressed with it in our first workout.
-I have been running defranco’s program to a T for six weeks, and my gains of strength have been great but sometimes I question whether it’s functionality towards baseball is enough.
Questions:
-Does anyone have any information or advice on nutrition and how to end up eating the proper amount of calories in a day?
-Anyone have any comment on defranco’s program?
-Any advice on working hard and achieving my goals.
I hope to make this thread a daily thing for me and I’ll be posting my workouts and how they go and hopefully along with my diet for maybe a week or so. I’ve admired centerfield quite a bit for his work and progress and I plan on documenting mine in the same way.
Thank in advance guys
