Free Diet Advice from 3J

hi.. you need to post a detailed diet with macros my man... did you read post 1?
Hello

Age : 31
Weight : 246lbs
Height : 5'9"
BF : 34% - its from fitbit electronic scale, i dont have enough posts to pm you, and not comfortable putting my pic. Not possible to do at gym either. would it be alright to email them ?

My current goal is to reach 185 or 15% BF , which ever happens faster.

BMR : 1945
TDEE : 3500 (on average) fit bit has me at average of about 4,500 so i assume my TDEE is approximately correct if not higher.

Lifestyle
I try to walk around 10-15k steps a day(including exercise), fit bit does the monitoring for me.

Sun-Tue-Thu (full body)
full body Stretching + short run (200m or so)
Weight lifting
Squats 4x10-15

Incline Press 3x10-12
Flyes(m/c) 2x10
bench Press 3x10-12

Off days (Sat-Mon-Wed)

Stertching
Cardio Total distance logged is approximately 4.5km
My heart rate generally averages about 130 or so. I run and jog, intermittently.
This is generally about a hr or so.
On days that i am really not feeling it, i walk for about an hour.

Macros
Current Macros are
Protein 250
Carbs 250/150
Fats 80/120

I am able to to hit the macros about 85-95% not been able to get them in completely, never crossed anything except of proteins at times.

I eat more carbs on the days i do weight lifting.
On friday(my week off) i dont track much, but eat in moderation as much as possible. I generally dont cross 2.8k-3k cal by my estimations.


Breakfast is generally
milk and cornflakes
mid morning i have a sandwich with 2 eggs and 1-2 egg whites , some tomatoes, onions, cheese(on high fat days)
Lunch is generally wheat bread (home made) with either chicken or tuna sprouts and/or some cooked veggies
I have Shake (2scoops) before heading out for workouts (generally around 6:30-7pm) (with peanut butter on higher fat days)
i have another shake (2scoops) after workout.
Dinner is generally Grilled chicken/steak with salad.

Generally i don't have sugar, use stevia whenever possible.
By my estimates, i drink anywhere between 4-6 ltrs of water everyday.

Supplements
Protein Shake
Preworkout with caffeine (home made)
L-carnitine 1g 2-3 times a day
Multivitamin 2 tabs in the morning
Fish oil (800mg epa+dha) 2 softgels
Joint support glucosmine + msm 3 a day

Any advise you can give me, would be most welcomed.

If I left something out, please let me know.
 
I've gone to the first page of this thread and it looks like I'm just scratching the surface on diet and education.This is a great thread, thanks.
 
A quote taken from page 6

can u do empty stomach cardio? in the mornings?

20 min is not enough.. and 60 at once is too much...

if i were u i'd do it like this

45min low intensity empty stomach cardio..

30min medium intensity post workout..

and then just do the empty stomach cardio on your days off..

u cant lose the weight without puttting the work in..


I am just getting back into shape and the gym.I workout 3 time s a week and thought medium intensity the days I don't go for 45 min and lighter intensity the day I go to the gym?is it okay to run after I work out or better to keep it to the days I don't train?
 
Not onholiday . Just in competiton season with clients do I have been a bit busy. I'll answer this soon!
 
No Problem :yesway:, I think its great that at least some serious persons
helps people that are low on budget on there way.

I hope I can do that some day, for now its back to my books I'm in the chapter
on macro and micro-nutrients :D

O, and good luck with the competition :yesway:
 
I'm using my fitness pal app right now but don't really want to pay the xtra $10 a month to track my macro's. Is there a better app out there??

That what approximately eat, dinner changes every day but I try to get around the same amount in every time
 
I was thinking of bulking, so getting stronger en bigger and when hitting nice numbers cutting
down.
I Would love to hit 90kg/198lbs with fat around 9 to 10%, thats a goal I would love to hit.
My strengt is now 8*82.5kg/181.5lbs for bench, 6*152.5kg/335.5lbs deadlift and for squat 8*115kg/253lbs.
I think Im not weak, buth love to be a little stronger

I also did think of doining a cycle of 2cc eth, every week, but for my feeling I'm getting stronger
and look better every week so a'm defentily not at my "natural"peak, as far as you can call it
natural at 0,5 cc trt every week now.
On the other hand, somtimes I think why wasting time, get on a cycle an then back on trt and
try to ceep the gains I won.
Iám not getting any younger now haha
What wouldt be you thougts on that?
