Diet critique, seditary most of the day...

[MS1605]

Here it is updated to what I think I can actually do. Im not going to paint a pretty picture of shit I know Im not going to follow through on. Im going to give this a go and see where it gets me.

I have thrown in one more small meal. only difference between this and Non workout days is im going to take the carbs out of my Pre workout meal.

Here is a sample.

Lifting/MMA day

Meal 1
4 eggs fried in coconut oil.
Sprinkle of fat free mozzarella.
1-2 pieces of ezekial bread or a bowl of oats.

Meal 2
Chicken breast
cup of veggies. Brussel sprouts/carrots/spinach/cucumber/broccoli are all the norm.

Meal 3
Egg whites or can of tuna.
Cup of veggies.

Meal 3 Pre WO

1-2 Red Potatoes, cut up and fried in coconut oil with some no/low sodium seasoning or sweet potato plain.
Lean meat. Usually chicken breast or beef

Meal 4 PWO shake.

Meal 5 usually around bed time.
4% cottage cheese
lean protein, usually egg whites.


Thanks for all the help guys. I think I might Journal this...

Meal 4 PWO shake.
add a semi-simple carb here.. white rice, bagel, pasta is fine...
Meal 5 usually around bed time.
4% cottage cheese
lean protein, usually egg whites.

if you eat anything less then about 150g carbs ur liver starts to produce glycogen for your brain... so i think that post workout carb source will fix that...

looks good otherwise

Ok Guys, It has been 6 weeks since I really started my cutting phase and im a little stumped. I need your input J.

I fallowed the diet you layed out for me pretty damn close. the only thing I changed some is I may have ate different kinds of food then what listed (I.E. lean steak instead of chicken, Sweet potato instead of brown rice, etc) Besides that I have been solid. I ate junk food ONE time in the last 6 weeks. 2 Saturdays ago I got down on some GS cookies. peanut butter to be exact. damn was it worth it. anyways, that's it. I had 3 and that was the only garbage I ate in 6 weeks. I also am taking in about a gallon to a gallon and a half of water a day along with creatine in PWO shakes. (this may attribute to what is to come in my story...)

I had to get my appatite in check so I did 5 weeks of ECA. 20/30/off/40/50. That always gets my apatite in check when I diet.

I lifted hard 3 days a week. Real hard. I had the most carbs on those days. more carbs on leg and back days, less on days for bis and tris, and around 50 on off days.

I did MMA twice a week for 2 hours at a crack. NO OTHER CARDIO

I physically look like im getting cut (cut for a fat guy). My work pants are getting looser and I have shirts that are starting to get a LITTLE baggy.

Great right? I mean not much (if any) loss of streangth. Starting to look a little better, etc, etc.

I step on the scale this morning and Im at 227.5lbs

So I have to big questions.

A) how the fuck do I look like im losing some fat, clothes are getting loose, etc, yet I only dropped .5 on the scale? I know I didnt gain that much muscle in 6 weeks on ECA and 2400~ cals.

B) I know the scale is evil and doesn't really portray what I want to know(fat loss) but should I throw in lie 2 days of cardio after my workouts? since I lift 3 times a week im thinking cardio on the 2 days im not doing legs plus the 2 MMA days a week. Im just a pussy and always scared about cardio after training. Want to preserve that muscle...

BTW, I do have some calipers that I took my BF at 6 weeks ago when I measured at 22%. my good friend has em now so im going to get them back this Thursday and see what that comes up with because I know for a fact i had to have lost more then .5lbs of fat in 6 weeks.

My only thought was 1-1.5 gallons of water+creatine+lots of milk+ semi high sodium= lots of water retention.

Im drinking about 4 8oz glasses of milk a day and I have a tendency to put ketchup on anything I don't like the taste of (boiled chicken breast...) so that's where im at with salt and milk.

I have dumped my head on everything I think is relevant, let me know what you think.

get ur bf rechecked and come back to me.. im interested..

So I checked it last night after training then again this morning. I went from 22% to 21.5%
Numerically that doesn't make sense. Like I said, I have a few flannels that didnt fit me 2 months ago that I can wear now.

I think Im going to throw in some low intensity cardio after training 2 days a week. so I will have 2 days of some extreme cardio (MMA days) and 2 days of low intensity.
