Damn, now i understand why you go through all this food together, strongman are heavy eater for sure!
You got solid knowledge on nutrition for sure, i'm still learning everyday.
Sadly as a Diabetic, things doesn't work the same day after day but i'm getting better at working all around this.
Current diet for the next 3 weeks look like this
1- 2x homemade muffins + protein shake before workout
2- 200gr Rice + 180gr meat + peas + apple
3- almonds + protein shake + 80gr meat
4- Stew (150-180gr Meat, 150-200gr potatoes, veggies) + muffin + apple
5- 200gr Rice + 180gr Meat + cheese + orange
6- Almonds + Protein shake
All protein shake contain egg white. So i average 700gr of meat per day
And i can tell you i'm pretty full after meal 5, i'm not breathing the same hahaha
So maybe you can educate me a bit. You are the second type 1 diabetic i have met in the fitness industry. I am familiar with diabetes from school and stuff, but I would like to know more from you as you live it, i just know theory. So your issue is that your pancreas dose not produce any insulin when you eat carbohydrates so with out insulin you cannot get any of the sugar out of your blood into your cells and essentially you will die if you do not inject insulin. So my next question is this if you do not eat any carbs do you still need to take your insulin shot? Do you take 1IU of insulin for every 10g of carbs you eat? i heard this was the protocol? Also do you feel any different when you eat high or low glycemic carbs?
So this is my opinion of your diet, take it for whatever you want, i am not the guru of bb or anything i am just giving you my opinion.
1- homemade muffins - high mixed with low glycemic carbs probably around 60 to 70g in 2 muffins with 20-30g of fat of some form of oil, and protein shake with egg whites so lets assume you are getting around 60g of protein in that shake
2-200g of rice about 46g of carbs (high glycemic), 180g of meat approx 45g of protein, 15g of saturated fats, peas and apple 30g of carbs (high glycemic)
3- almonds lets say you eat 20 of them, thats about 10g of fat polyunsaturated, protein shake with 80g of meat so lets assume you are getting about 50-60g of protein here
4- stew with meat...again high glycemic carbs with 50-60g of protein 45g with 20g of saturated fats, muffin again mix of low and high glycemic carbs and apple low GI carbs so i would guess 50-60g of carbs with 15g of fat from the muffins.
5- rice meat cheese and orange, all high GI and saturated fats 45g protein, 46g carbs, 30g carbs, 40g of saturated fats
6- almonds and protein shake - polyunsaturated fats and protein 50g of protein approx. 10g of fat
your approx.. macros
300g of protein
342g of carbs
140g of fat
so basically you are doing a 1:1:0.5 ratio of protein, carbs, fats
So if i was going to tweak anything in this diet i would have different carbs, high GI carbs in meal 1 and pre and post workout meal and low GI carbs in the rest of the time. I would look at your body composition as well. Is it necessary to eat all these carbs? or would a higher fat diet be more beneficial to you as opposed to a higher carb diet considering you are type 1 diabetic. Your body may genetically run better off of fat than carbs. I would add some omega 3 fats to your diet and take out some saturated fats, i am not a fan of cheese. Its high in saturated fats and so are your meats as you seem to eat a lot of red meat. I do not see any fish in your diet. does your meat description does not include fish, are you eating fish? if yes are you eating white and pink fish? they both have different health benefits. I would add some omega 3 fats, you can start with omega 3 eggs, macadamia nut oil, hemp seed oil, hemp seeds, and fish (those are the main ones I know).
So here is an example of a diet I would give to you:
1- protein shake with 50g of protein, with 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1 medium size banana or whatever fruit u like, 2 tbsp almond butter and water -pre workout (protein, high and low GI carbs with a little fat)
2- post workout protein shake with 50g of protein in water with 50g of high GI carbs from fruit or honey or whatever, no fats (protein, high GI carbs, no fat)
3- first meal after training, 180g of white or red meat with 200g of low GI carbs (quinoa, buckwheat, yams, sweet potato, multigrain bread) with 1 tbsp of omega 3 oil or 3 hard boiled eggs (if you used the eggs have less meat around 120g) (protein, low GI carbs and fat)
4- second meal after training, again 180g of fish with veggies and 200g low GI carbs with omega 3 fat around 15-30g (protein, low GI carbs and fat)
5- 180g of protein from your choice of fish pink or white and meat red or white with no carbs and 30g of fat from nuts or oil (unsaturated) and low GI veggies (no carbs high fat)
6- protein shake with water and 30g of fat from natural nut butter or nuts or unsaturated oil (no carbs high fat)
anyways this is just my thoughts, have high GI carbs around training low GI carbs throughout the day, maybe drop some carbs and up fats if you hold onto fat easily, you will still build muscle, protein builds muscle, carbs help supply energy, but fat does too, different body types react differently to different molecules. I was able to grow on barely no carbs, but lots of fats, i was really strong too. If i eat carbs i get fatter so i prefer to do a high fat low carb and high protein. My husband does better off of more carbs and less fat. Anyways there is nothing wrong with your current diet or anything you do. I am just talking with you and sharing my thoughts because its fun and interesting. So don't think i am trying to correct anything you are doing, as i am not, i just wanted to give you my opinion since you asked.
one thing i would suggest you should do is take 3000mg of omega 3 and 6 together once a day and 5000-7000IU of vit d3. and a multivitamin. that is something i would definitely add!
