Free Diet Advice from 3J

you need to have whey isolate and a simple carb after workout.. esp when bulking its super important to get that anabolic insulin spike..

and your last meal is a bit concerning.. your eating alot of carbs and then youre also having chicken which isn't a slow digesting protein..

im going to take a stab at a guess and say youre punjabi?? no beef correct?

Yes, I'm not punjabi, But I'm hindu.. so its a strict no.. and beef is anyways banned in Mumbai.. :( i eat my dinner at around 8.30.. I've made some changes, can i post it?

i apologize for making the punjabi assumption..

so what you need is a slow digesting protein for dinner.. you also need to take those carbs and use them earlier in the day..

can you get casein protein??

It's okay, not much of a difference anyways, i'm already running on a low budget, being a student its difficult for me to buy supplements, in India supplements are very expensive, what i did is i just scaled back my cals, as i told you i've gained fat on that 720 calorie surplus, changing my training routine too from strength to bodybuilding.. just learning new things so trying to implement and get better..

So i just changed my diet, keeping in mind your advice

Yes that whey is post workout.. I've just mentioned it in the lunch section.. Other than that is everything fine?
 
proposed diet

Right now I'm eating at slightly over TDEE.

I posted a couple of threads (didn't get a big response), so I'm looking for additional comments on my diet, I posted the cycle in case there was any questions.

I’m going to follow Austinite’s first cycle protocol. I’ve been lifting on and off for the past 7 years. I’m sure I could make more gains naturally to get to my natural max, but I'm going for it, my first cycle in May.

I'm thinking I should drop the protein to around 240g which equals 1.5g/lbm?

3j,

I'd like your guidance. I'm going to have to shutdown my training for the better part of a month. I may be able to do some cardio beginning the first week after the procedure. Later on I may be able to throw in some legs days, but no upper body work.

Should I use the "No Exercise" calculation for my TDEE, and stay at those calories for the period of time I cannot train at all, or when I can I can do cardio? Should my carb sources during non activity times be primarly from vegetables and fruit? Should I keep any carbs I do have to earlier in the day, and can I have any complex carbs, as long as I stick to my macros?

I used the Mifflin-St Jeor method to calculate my TDEE, with no exercise, it came to 2053 cals. to maintain. Should I stick to that for my no activity, cardio days, and then eat like a normal leg day if I can do legs?

Would the diet I've linked work, or will going that long with no complex carb sources not be a good idea? I'd appreciate your guidance. Thanks!

ok.. got a chance to look this over..

remove your carbs from your last meal.. move them elsewhere in the diet..

meal 6 should be beef.. just switch the proteins of meal 5 and 6


explain to me why you chose to eat so much beef in the day?

so yea, i would take your calories down to about 2200 on non training days.. and take them back up to normal on your leg days.. if youre going to workout first thing in the morning.. i would load carbs a bit the day before to make sure your glycogen stores are up to par
 
Thanks for taking the time to look this over and give your opinion, much appreciated!

Ok, easy enough.

The beef is easy to make, should I only be eating the beef 1 or 2 times per day?

beef is a very slow digesting protein (hence why i ask you to have it at meal 6 before bed)..

its also hard on the digestive system and because it digests slower the amino acid curve is lower... use chicken and fish.. faster digesting proteins...
 
What goals are carb cycling good for?

I'm wanting to do a lean bulk and maintain low bodyfat.

carb cycling is usually great for lean bulking... your genetics play a factor though..

some people have a hard time bulking on a carb cycle and need a straight macro split..

but i always recommend carb cycling first to see if is a good fit..

so long as the carb cycle is set up correctly


if you are looking to have it set up correctly by me you can always become a client.. email me at 3jdiet@gmail.com

not that you cant set it up correctly for yourself.. i just take the guessing out of it
 
Hi 3j,

This free diet advice is awesome! I hope you can help me out. I have not made a new diet plan. I hope you can help me out with making a good decision, so that I can make a new diet plan. Here's my information:

STATS
Age: 24
Weight: 89kg = 196lbs
Height: 178cm = 5,8 feet
BF: 15%
Lean Mass: 76 kg = 167lbs
BMR: 2012
TDEE: 3119

Goal: Well, this is the tricky part. I have been clean bulking on a cycle of test-e and tren-e for 12 weeks, which has been awesome. I am now a month after my PCT and feel like my strenght and weight is stable (on the diet as shown below).
I would like to lose some fat while maintaining my muscle. However many people advice to not cut after a cycle (at least not natty and I want to wait at least 2 more months before jumping back on the juice).
Do you believe I could slowly cut down some bodyfat (by using carb cycling or something) or should I keep eating something like this and try to stay where I am at now, even though my weight, strenght and bodyfat has been stable for the last ~3 weeks?
