Free Diet Advice from 3J

Hi 3J!

Heres some info, looking to cut that BF% down

Stats
Male
Age: 29
Weight: 85kg, 187lbs
Height: 174cm, 5' 8.5"
BF%: 25
Goals: Get BF% below 15 without losing muscle, then do a 10 week test cycle to bulk

BMR
I used my foot scale for the bf% (25). Not sure how accurate it is. I'll try and get it tested later.
LBM = 63,5kg
370 + (21.6 x 63,5) = 1741,6

TDEE
Moderate: 1742 x 1.55 = 2700

This is what I've been doing for a while now:
1700-2000 kcal depending on how much calories I spend. 50% protein, 25% carbs, 25% fat. Chicken, pork, lean red meat, tuna, salmon, low fat cottage cheese, skim milk, veggies, oats, brown rice, recovery drink, whey protein drink, 3 liters of water a day, creatine, animal pak, omega 3 caps, green tea caps, a cup of coffee and/or green tea/day.

I spend about 300-500 calories on cardio (P90X3) 6-7 times a week. Resistance training 4 times a week (Wendler's 5/3/1). I haven't checked what I spend at the gym.

Here's a fairly typical day of eating, except for having the wrong kind of chicken:

And this (Keto) is what I've been thinking about starting:
I did this below guide for myself according to the info on this post
steroidworld.com/forums/steroid-diet-nutrition/94-ckd-diet-quick-guide.html
Everything in it is of course subject to change. I only started reading up on Keto yesterday so it might be way off, but it's a starting point.

Sun - Fri
140 LBM x 4 = 560 calories from protein
187 pounds x 15 = 2805 maintain cals - 500 = 2305 cutting cals - 560 = 1745 cals from fat
Calories: 2305
Protein: 140 grams, 560 cals
Fat: 194 grams, 1745 cals
Carbs: max 15g

As you go deeper into the diet, and find the need to restrict calories more, you must cut fat calories, not protein.
Eat fat and protein all day everyday except on workout days. After workouts, you will need to consume just protein***8212;no fat or carbs.
Friday afternoon, around two hours before your last workout of the week, eat two to three pieces of fruit.

The weekend carb load (Fri night - Sat midnight)
Your "carb-up" should begin Friday night and last until around midnight Saturday.
64kg LBM x 10 = 640 grams of carbs
After friday workout: 100g carbs + 50g protein in a whey shake. 640 - 100 = 540g
Spread out over the compensation period:
Protein: 140g
Fat: Below 65g
Carbs: 540g


Training (5/3/1)
Mon: Military Press + P90X3 Incinerator or Challenge
Tue: Deadlift + assistance exercises
Wed: Basketball 1 hour
Thu: Bench + P90X3 Eccentric Upper or Complex Upper
Fri: Squat + assistance exercises
Sat/Sun: Rest/stretching

3J: When should I be working out on Keto? On carb load day or not? Also, I probably should start easier with the P90X stuff and add them in later? They can be pretty tough. I think I read the first couple of weeks on Keto you might not be feeling very energetic.

Heres what those P90X workouts entail:
Eccentric Upper:
All exercises: 10 reps; 3 counts eccentric, 1 count concentric
01 Standard Push-Ups
02 Standard Pull-Ups
03 Military Press
04 Military Push-Ups
05Chin-Ups
06 Deep Swimmer***8217;s Press
07Fly Push-Ups
08 V Pull-Ups
09 Upright Hammer Pull
10 Staggered
Push-Ups
(5 reps each side)
11 Rocket Launcher Row
12 Lateral/Anterior Raise
(12 reps)
13 Plyo Push-Ups
14 Vaulter Pull-Ups
(5 reps each side)
15 Pterodactyl Flys
16 Rocket Launcher
Kickback
17 Flip Flop Combo
18 Tricep Skyfers
(5 reps each side)
19 Kneeling Preacher Curl
BURNOUT

Complex Upper:
COMPLEX (4 rounds of 5 exercises)
R O U N D 1
01 Slow Mo Chin-Ups (12 reps)
02 X Plyo Push-Ups (8 reps)
03 Lunge Thrust Press (12 reps)
04 W Pull-Ups (12 reps)
05 Push-Up Bird
Dog Crunch (12 reps)

Incinerator:
01 Renegade Row (10 reps)
02 Pull-Ups
03 Floor Flys
04 Push-Ups
05Rocket Launcher Row (10 reps)
06 Chin-Ups
07***8220;A***8221; Press (10 reps)
08 Military Push-Ups
09 Monkey Pump (8 reps)
10 Pike Press
11 Pterodactyl Flys (10 reps)
12 Flipper
13 Popeye Hammer Curls (10 reps)
14Kneeler Curls
15 Hail to the Chief (10 reps)
16 Skyfers
17 Arm and Hammer (10 reps)
18 Rocket Launcher Kickbacks
BURNOUT

The Challenge:
Pick a number for push-ups, another for pull-ups. Hit that number for every exercise.
01 Wide Pull-Up
02 Standard Push-Up
03 Wide Pull-Up
04 Standard Push-Up
05Chin-Up
06 Military Push-Up
07Chin-Up
08 Military Push-Up
09 Close Grip Pull-Up

Yeah, i'll try replacing one more meal with a meat protein source, possibly before workout.

Dropped 2 tbsp of peanut butter, and it comes out to be 2280 cal. How does that seem?
Is it okay to do 3x a week 20 min cardio sessions on top of that or is it too much?

Thanks for the great advice :]

that looks good

.

since your tdee is 2500 calories.. you should be eating at about 2200 calories.. with the adjustments i have made thats just about where you should be
 
please type out your diet

Thats my diet in the post right there:
"1700-2000 kcal depending on how much calories I spend. 50% protein, 25% carbs, 25% fat. Chicken, pork, lean red meat, tuna, salmon, low fat cottage cheese, skim milk, veggies, oats, brown rice, recovery drink, whey protein drink, 3 liters of water a day, creatine, animal pak, omega 3 caps, green tea caps, a cup of coffee and/or green tea/day.

Ok so here goes. We've been in contact 3J through email. I look forward to your critique!

Stats:

age: 31

height: 5', 6***8221;

Workout: 3x/week M/W/F--push/pull routine rotated. Each workout I usually do one of the main 3 focused on strength--bench and squat worked up to 3x5. Deadlift worked up to 1x5. Where there are two pushes in a week I squat heavy once a week (otherwise I usually deweight and rep squat 10-20 for one set). I deadlift every other week so as to not over train. Otherwise I do ancillary for hypertrophy. I was a home brewer for a while and now I'm a skinny fat dude w/ a small beer gut. My goal right now is to put as much strength and size on until I cut in April-May-ish. Obviously I would like to minimize any fat. Also with my job I would say I fall into moderately active.

There are some things that are interchangeable. Like instead of chicken I'll have bison, filet mignon or tuna fish. And instead of mashed potatoes I'll have baked macaroni. The daily total usually winds up the same.

Workout: 3x/week M/W/F--push/pull routine rotated. Each workout I usually do one of the main 3 focused on strength--bench and squat worked up to 3x5. Deadlift worked up to 1x5. Where there are two pushes in a week I squat heavy once a week (otherwise I usually deweight and rep squat 10-20 for one set). I deadlift every other week so as to not over train. Otherwise I do ancillary for hypertrophy. I was a home brewer for a while and now I'm a skinny fat dude w/ a small beer gut. My goal right now is to put as much strength and size on until I cut in April-May-ish. Obviously I would like to minimize any fat. Also with my job I would say I fall into moderately active.

Meal 1

Bagel - Bagel, 0.5 bagel (98 g)
Eggs - Scrambled (whole egg), 200 g
Dietz & Watson - White American Cheese, 15.75 g

seems your calories are in the right place.. but your protein should go up about 50g.. your carbs should be good.. your fats need to drop to make up the difference

hi... i dont know what calculator that is.. i dont know your stats.. so i cant give a straight forward answer..

i can tell you your protein intake should be higher on a keto diet.. the lower the carbs the higher the protein should be to a limit (too high and glycogenesis occurs in the liver and protein is turned into glucose.. i would take your protein up to 220g and reduce your fats to make up for it)

My fault. I did put "My goal right now is to put as much strength and size on until I cut in April-May-ish. I would like to minimize any fat. Also with my job I would say I fall into moderately active".

But yeah I meant bulking.

Yes, dietz and watson was the brand. If you say in the end that my carbs are about right and I up them here, I should reduce later accordingly later, yes? Would the purpose of upping carbs be for preworkout?

Sorry. Meal 2 is my actual post workout meal. I was using the Honey for simple carbs. And I was using San Rawfusion b/c I thought I had a lactose intolerance issue. Apparently that's not the case and I'm experimenting with PES Select protein (Milk Isolate and Whey concentrate).

Yeah I was using the Rawfusion for a lactose issue. And I was hoping the milk slowed things down some. But now I'm using the PES Select w/ milk. That sound better?

Ok--cut the fat but make up for it in protein? So go up 50g protein (200 calories) and cut back about 22g fat?


I really appreciate all the help here and through email thus far.

there is alot wrong with your diet here..

lets start with the macros..

here is what i want you to do.. up your protein to 230g.. lower your carbs to 150g and focus them on breakfast, pre, and post workout

make meal 6 beef.. without carbs..

so 230 + 150 = 380.. x 4 = 1520 calories

so you need about 970 calories from fat.. fat is 9 caories per gram.. so 108g fats

good luck!!!
 
hi... i dont know what calculator that is.. i dont know your stats.. so i cant give a straight forward answer..

i can tell you your protein intake should be higher on a keto diet.. the lower the carbs the higher the protein should be to a limit (too high and glycogenesis occurs in the liver and protein is turned into glucose.. i would take your protein up to 220g and reduce your fats to make up for it)

At what point does the body start turning protein into glucose from glycogenesis? Is this different for every person?
