I work outside 10 hours a day and it's hot here , averaging 90f the past few weeks. I'm on Test prop eod , masteron eod and I'm having a real hard time eating with the heat. I'm getting 2 pretty good meals in but between 9am and like 4pm I just can't eat real food so I'm not growing like I would like. I supplement with a few protein drinks but I know it's not enough.
Would adding homemade broth help fill some of the gaps ? I guess anything is better than nothing but is it worth all the time or should I try a weight gainer instead?
Not sure it will replace a meal, or fill gaps calorie wise, but my mom and wife does the beef bone broth quiet often. Supposed to be good for you.
I do meal bars, pop tarts, fruit and beef jerky that are easy to eat and I keep them frozen or in the fridge when it’s the hotter months.
If I’m cutting I’ll skip breakfast and get that 14-16 hour fast in then eat a bunch of smaller meals but it’s not required. Just gotta pack the food in anyway u can. Larger servings if ur not adding size.
IMO
I agree with @Popeye on the meal bars. Carry a few around with you each day. It should help got some of those calories you are missing.
i don't believe its a complete protein and see no reason to add it in to help your goal of getting your calories. i have worked outdoors in the heat for years. i would suggest
Isopure glass bottles as your protein. blue raspberry is good. this is clear protein and go's down like gatorade not a shake. so will be easy when your hot and sweating but not necessary hungry. its 40g of protein per bottle but i do believe they may be switching to smaller bottles of 30g. there is no carbs so you will need a carb source. i'm going to suggest karbolyn fuel. its fast but also sustained and will last. again this will go down like gatorade so will be easy to stomach.
i would still try and get some food in half way through your day. find foods that are easy to eat and small. if your having a hard time with appetite then don't force your self to eat a huge meal at one time. eat small like a couple of hard boiled eggs. you need more then protein though you need fat and carbs. your out there burning all those calories man for 10 hours a day you'll never gain weight you'll just be conditioned from working a blue collar job
eat real food breakfast at home before a shake. drink your shake on the way to work. time it where the shake is gone buy the time you get to work.
Hit the nail on the head brother. Blue collar work can be hard to figure out. But not impossible. I like the idea for the Isopure that sounds like a good idea for sure. Karbolyn helps for sure I have on after my breakfast after a protein shake then sometime after lunch as well. Fruits are easy for me to eat during the day they help my mouth not feel like a desert (grapes, mango, pineapple, apple, banana). Also rice cakes with some peanut butter is an easy one for me.
If anyone knows it’s this man Awesome big bro
good idea ! fruit would be easy to stomach if not hungry
