Free Diet Advice from 3J

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!!!


damnnnn, i didn't realize id gone so wrong, i spent ages working that out from a stickie on another board lol well happy i posted this on here or else id of been going in the right wrong direction, thanks for the advice my man i'll be changing this tonight!
 
Age: 21 (almost 22)
Weight: 170
Height: 6***8217;2
Bodyfat: 5% (according to caliper/Jackson) 11.51% (according to parillo :S)
161.5 lbs lbm
BMR: 1845
Daily calorie intake: 1981 (RMR)+ 250 (lean massins)=2231+(length of workout, calorie burn etc)
Average around 2500-3200 per day
Goal: Lean massing hence I just finished a cut

All calorie calculators I have used in the past that had preset calorie calculators have led me to gian excess unnecessary fat, so I started to calculate it this way on my own.

Workout: 6x/week weights + soccer/sports with friends if it comes up

Daily food list is difficult to write here because I do not know how to translate their names cause I am from another country by this is how it works out end of the day:
Totals (1):
Calories: 2501
Carbs: 289
Fat: 90
Protein: 165

On a more active day
Total (2):
Calories: 3161
Carbs: 398
Fat: 112
Protein: 170

You already told me to consume at least 200g of pro thus far from the other thread, i wanted to know what else i should or may change ?

where is the diet??
 
where is the diet??

As i said it is very hard to translate and you wont understand, my question was more about macro partitioning. For a natural young bb'er would it make a difference? Or would increasing carbs instead would be more beneficial? So which one would you guys say more optimal: 30P/50C/20F or 30P/40C/30F? and if you are saying that high dietary fats in diet has "no further benefits" you will be changing my life :) Anything to back up your claim would be greatly appreciated :)

ok... macro timing plays an important part but ill give you what you gave me..

you want a minimum amount of dietary fats in your diet when bulking.. they play a crucial biological role.. being natty i recommend you balance out your fats.. making sure you actually do get a moderate amount of saturated fats in your diet.. eating beef for dinner or cooking with olive oil helps.. also make sure you get about 50mg zinc a day in your diet too... saturated fats and zinc help produce and upkeep natty test levels

if you take your protein up to 200 and keep your carbs as high as you have your fat intake is fine

BMR: 1,716 Calories/day according to an online calculator...

I am a college students so I don't really do shit all day except when I hit the gym at 7pm Sunday-Thursday.

Diet:
9am (something quick before class) - 1 scoop of whey, vanilla greek yogurt.

11am - part of chicken breast, broccoli, rice o roni (tastes so damn good. I got sick of plain brown rice. Also, I use olive oil and bake a bunch of chicken breasts at once)

1pm - part of chicken breast, broccoli, rice o roni

5pm - vanilla greek yogurt, protein bar

7pm- Workout
2 scoops of whey post work out

8:30pm - part of chicken breast, broccoli, rice o roni

10pm - greek yogurt

10:30-11:00ish - bed time

Macros:
protein - 228.5g
carbs - 143.4g
fats - 69.7
calories - 2065.5

Besides whey protein, I supplement with creatine, multi vitamin, and fish oil.

Being a college student, I choose food mainly based on convenience. I'm sure you all can relate! Feel free to rip this diet apart and provide any insight you would like!

youre eating 2000 calories.. with a bmr of 1600 calories youre likely eating under your maint caloric needs.. so if you want to add lean body mass youre not eating enough.

also do you weigh and measure your foods?
 
i do try to do atleast 2 x fasted cardio a week. but with work its sometimes hard. After every weights session tho i do minimum of 30mins on the cross trainer. So at worst its probably 3hrs a week. As of today I've dropped the carbs...do you think thats a good move?

how much weight have you lost in what period of time?? how long have you been on this caloric intake?
 
okay...so week one I went from 118kg to about 113.5kg (obviously water) Week 2 I went down to around 112.5kg although i did slip up cuz i went out for a drink. week 3/4 I've just fluctuated between 112/112.5....i don't want to dishearten myself but it is a bit of a mind f**k when I'm being so strict and not seeing the rewards. But my friend keeps saying weight isn't everything?? i am at a loss lol
 
As mentioned in my reply before a min of 3hrs :)

You scratching your head yet lol. Don't worry no one can figure me out

im sorry 3 hours?? a day? a week??

i want to know, in detail, how much cardio you do daily in the 6 days you do cardio.. telling me 3hrs doesn't help the situation
 
Oh right okay...well atlas 30mins after each weight session so if i do 5days = 2.5hrs
I don't lift weds but go and do a cardio session usually 45-60mins. So at worst its probably 3hrs/week but probably closer to 4.

is there anything other info you need from me? Im open to anything you suggest
