Hi again.

Did you check whether you have enough magnesium?

Back to the proteins:

You should eat as much grams of proteins as your body weight in lbs. High protein foods contain 25% proteins. For you, it will be roughly 200*4=800gms (where 200 is your rounden weight in lbs, and 4 = 1/(25%)) of high protein food per day.

This is to be taken ideally 3 hrs apart in (24-8)/3>=5 servings. Don't get up at night for eating. A good sleep is more important. If you wake up anyway, don't hesitate to get a night dose of proteins.

Continue the maths: 800g/5.333 servings = 150g of high protein food at least 5 times a day.

Don't eat 800g in 3 servings. The >300g will over-fill your stomach, half of it will be "eliminated", and you're going to have too large "protein supply gaps" between meals.

So, it's also a question of quantity.

My problem is that my training only doubles my appetite while I should eat over 4 times as much as I was used to before training.

Let me repeat: No abrupt diet change! While you can go from 3 to 5 servings/day frome one day to another, slowly increase the quantity per serving.



NB: I did the maths only for proteins. I did not do it yet for the carbs.
