Free Diet Advice from 3J

That's nothing new... And refeeds are important.. The lower you go from your tdee the more you will need the refeed... I skip all this with Carb cycling
 
Age: 19
Weight: 94 kg
Height: 181 cm
bf: Somewhere between 17-20%, I can barely see the 2 upper packs but there is no visual of the other survivors lol.
goals: My goals right now is to loose all the fat after 4 year of training. I've always been on a cut during these years but never managed to lose all the belly fat which I'm really trying to loose right now. I would say that my bodytype is a typical endomorph. I can lift heavy weight easily, broad shoulders, above 15% bf all year round, very very carb sensitive. I really wan't to get below 10% bf, i've never experienced how my body looks in lower bf due to how hard it is for me to cut.

BMR: 2200 calories/day

TDEE (for keeping the same weight): 3326 calories/day sounds really much but that's what the calculator gave me.



MACROS = 130-150g/60-100g/1400-1700 calories/carbs in total: 2-5 carbs/day
I'm running a intermitting fasting low carb high fat diet due to my body being really carb sensitive. I start eating at 11:00 and stop eating at 17:00 which gives me a 6 hour window to eat. During my fasting window only thing i drink is bcaa, water and coffee. I avoid carbs all day except a little bit of milk. I also have 1 refeed day where i eat till i blow up but I still keep my 6 hour window.

I've tried a lot of different diets but i think the intermitting fasting combined with high protein/fat low carb diet suits me best.

Workout: Usually on empty stomach(if i workout on a empty stomach i take 7g of bcaa before and during my workout) or 3-4 scrambled eggs before workout in the morning (11:00)

11:00 3-4 eggs or 7 grams of bcaa.

around 16:00 i take my last meal which is: 5 eggs, 1-2 cans of tuna and 2 salamon file. (approx. 1300 cals)

16:00-bedtime: bcaa, lots of water.



11:00
4 eggs: 25g/1,6/28g/361
25/1,6/28/361

15-17:00
5 eggs: 31,3/2/35,2/451
2 cans of tuna in oil: 36/0/28/400
2 salmon file 52,5/0/27,5/450
119,8/2/90,7/1301

total: protein: 144g/Carbs: 3,6g/Fats: 118,7/Cals: 1662


Training split:

Monday: Chest and Back
Tuesday: Shoulder, traps and arms
Wednesday: Legs and calves
Thursday: Chest, biceps and abs
Friday: Rest day
Saturday: Chest and Back or rest day
Sunday: Shoulder, traps and arms

A lot of drop sets, super sets, compound barbell movments, heaviest i can go, keep a 6-12 rep range, 15 min 15 degree inclined treadmile after each workout

I do walk for a hour sometimes on a empty stomach in the morning. 2-4 times a week.

Cycle I've done:
2 ECA cycles
3 clen cycles

Supps:
Xtend Bcaa
CLA
Omega-3
ZMA before bedtime

i am not a fan of the IF approach.. imo your taking in too much for one meal.. if youre going to run an IF approach you need to split that big meal up into two meals

so youre looking to cut..

i have your tdee at about 2500 calories.. so 1800 might be a little too low.. where are your daily totals?
 
the totals are the first line of each "day" where say total ou totais hehe forgot to translate
1926 197.3 152.5 52.6
1778 199.1 103.3 56.4
2166 187.7 224.1 49.7

no.. usually i weigh my chicken before its cooked..

how long have you been on this diet.. how much weight a week are you losing?
 
sup 3J just wanting to know your opinion on a 1k surplus diet, obviously for bulking. you reviewed my diet before but i added around 500 calories more. i'm super ectomorph/high metabolism/whatever and i've never put on any fat in my life. i posted the meal plan on another forum and people started saying it's too much/you're gonna gain a lot of fat/etc.

will post meal plean if necessary although i'm just looking for an opinion.
thanks
 
hey 3j,
first sorry took so long, i took the week to check if im doing what i said i am,
well sadly i am, and i say sadly cause im losing nothing =[, and i started to wonder why, well as i said its not that i count and weight what i eat, i am doing it now, but its pretty much it
so wheres the issue? hte fraking weekends, cause its like i have a deficit of 500 5 days and 2000 over 2 days, so i "suffer" from the diet and dont get the goods of it.
So i ll try to reduce the alchool, sweet and carbs on the weekends =[.

what you are looking for is 1-2lbs of weight gain a week.. whether that takes 500 calories or 1000 will take time to see.. i recommend you start 500 and work your way up.. adding 200-300 calories a week when you stall

so what youre planning to do is run this and see how much weight you gain weekly..

if you dont know how to properly do weight and measurements i recommend you read my sticky in the anabolic forum..


as you progress you will likely have to add calories.. i recommend upping your carbs until you get around 450-500.. then start upping fats

Thanks I agree with all that you said,makes sense. I do know how to do measurements and have tailors tape measure as well as bodyfat calipers and a scale. I weigh myself in the morning every Tuesday after using the bathroom if I have to.

My goal is to change my body composition from the skinny fat to be more muscular and pretty lean. Its hard to determine my calories being on cycle since my weight will most likely fluctuate alot and go up very fast during my cycle.

How often do you think I need to change these numbers since I am on cycle? Should I change them every week once I weigh in?

Also what should I eat that is quick and easy for my two snacks during work instead of a poptart lol. I love them and they help me from binging bad.

youre bulking... so its semi-acceptable.. go ahead and have it..

as for being on cycle.. u know how i feel about you cycling at the age of 20.. but usually i do a 100-200 calorie increase starting week 3-4.. its hard to say since i wont be coaching you through it.. when i see measurements weekly its easy for me to say, ok its time to add calories
 
hey 3j,

So i ll try to reduce the alchool, sweet and carbs on the weekends =[.

look at the math.. 2500 calories lost to put 2000 back in in the same week.. it takes a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1lb

You never know man you might be coaching me after all, Im good at guessing numbers ;) lol but I appreciate your help and advice more than you know man.

So I will basically up my carbs by 25g a week from week 3 on and then once I hit 450g a day start upping my fats a little each week?

Thanks!!
