Free Diet Advice from 3J

awesum 3J, ive been waiting patiently 4 ur feedback n as always, u didnt disappoint! couple of questions...
1.reason 4 shake as 1st meal is that i wake up at 5a n train by 6am n figured i would b able 2 digest the shake b4 i hit the gym. so eating a solid meal like the 1 u described b ok?
2.ill have the protein n simple carbs post w/o n than an 1hr later have the pattys with potatoes, sound good?
3.for the snack, instead of jerky, ill have the cottage cheese with tuna or protein bar?
4.meal 6, dinner, ill just have the meal 5?
5.b4 bed, ill have the cottage cheese n tuna?
 
Hey 3J im curious on your opinion of BCAA's? I have just started putting 10g of BCAA's in a jug mixed with a few scoops of Gatorade powder and I sip on it throughout my workout. It seems to give me a slight energy boost and I sweat a little more as well.

so do you see an issue here?? your tdee is 4000 calories (if your bodyfat is correct.. how did you get that tested??) and your eating what i would give my female 135lb client to cut.. your body is going to jump into starvation mode..


go back to the first post in this thread.. i have a sample cutting diet in there.. u think you can follow that?
 
Thanks, I should be able to follow that or something similar. I really didn't know how to eat, what to eat when to eat. Since I posted that shit diet example I've read back on this thread. The wife went shopping and now my fridge is stocked with the right foods. Sweet potatoes, salmon, cottage cheese, lean pork, Turkey, chicken lots of veggies. My other problem is that my wife is a nurse and when I told her of what I needed to eat she didn't want to believe me. Now I don't want to cut without gaining muscle, that diet you've outlined above sounds like I should still see good gains. I had my Endo measure my bf%, in addition to the feedback I received from other members here. My doc measured 22, I received feedback ranging from 18-23%.
 
Been coaching with 3J and the man is the real deal!
- Very accessible and responsive
- Love my workout program (he keeps in mind that we are all human and have work, school, social life, etc)
- The diet is easy to follow and he offers many options of lean protein and good carb sources so you're not stuck with Chicken and Brown Rice all day.

Definitely in for the long term.
