I am in the process of getting ready for a couple fall figure shows and am contemplating adding some supplements to my arsenal. I have used the protein powders but am wondering what else I should include. Here is my current diet:

Meal 1: 1/2 grapefruit, 3oz turkey, 3 egg whites, 1/2c oats

Meal 2: shake

Meal 3: 4oz chicken or tuna w/ 1 cup green beans

Meal 4: 3/4 c cottage cheese, 1/2 apple, 3/4oz nuts

Meal 5: salad w/ 5oz protein

Meal 5: protein brownie with natural pb

My stats right now are: 5'2", 109lbs, 15% BF

Any suggestions on what to take and how would be greatly appreciated!!

personally your diet is lacking, Id work on that before I start anything, but if you are content with it, then Id look to add:

Synergy
maybe some liver tabs but include in protein intake and back off some from whole foods.
multivitamin
glutamine
creatine

7 keto to burn fat.

Those are the staples of what I usually take when prepping for a show.

Ill add glucose disosal agents later in the prep to control insulin and Ill add Energy Reserve and GH Factor the final three weeks.

I am open to any suggestions. I do have added fats in 3 of my meals which I did not include and am getting ready to increase my carbs substantially. I usually incorporate the Mass Maker on lifting days right now.

How far out are you, what is your bodyfat, yes lack of carbs is what i was referring to. We all know protein is necessary and in decent amounts, but carbs definitely need to be there this far out as a natural athlete....I can give you some recommendations based on your weight and current bodyfat and how far out you are.

My first show will be Oct 18th and my 2nd will be Nov 1st. I am about 108-109lbs and on May 22nd my body fat was 15% using the skin calipers.
