yea u can switch that up... but that red meat is very very healthy... 2-3% fat.. barely any cholesterol, sodium.. etc..

good stuff


and your very welcome bud.. that's what im here for

would you say white basmati rice is a good or poor choice of carb,lets say post workout?
 
It's mostly mental, although I can't stand the consistency. It'll take me all week to be able to eat them without gagging like a porn star, but by next week I should be fine.

Another quick question (you really should get paid for this shit): Does the cardio hurt any muscle gains? The reason I ask, is after I finish with the weights, obviously theres a pump, and I feel like I just lifted a bunch of heavy ass weights. I go over and do 45 mins of cardio, and my body feels like I haven't done any weights. In the past I've found that the days I lift and don't do cardio, I feel that pump for most of the day. It's really not that important right now if it does, because I really need to get my BF% down about 7%, so the cardio is very necessary, but I was just curious. I'd like to think that someday I'll be done cutting fat, and ready to concentrate on muscle gains.

that pump you feel is normal.. and wonderful.. and the reason why you would be taking a protien shake immediatly after your workout if you were bulking...

cardio will take away that pump, but your cutting and cardio is absolutly necessary.. i mean ABSOLUTLY...

what intensity are you doing your cardio??

the food choices look great... but u dont have macros or a bmr/tdee... i work on numbers..

cardio will take away that pump, but your cutting and cardio is absolutly necessary.. i mean ABSOLUTLY...

what intensity are you doing your cardio??

Depends, on the treadmill I do a pretty high incline, and walk at about 3 or 3.5 mph for 40 mins or so. On the elliptical, I usually go about 45 mins at a decent pace.

Alright, finally got this together...

Stats:
Age: 21
Weight: 185
Height: 6 ft. 1.5 in.
BF: 21%ish
Goal: to gain muscle and lose fat. want to trim down and get bigger and look good for the summer (and for good)

BMR: 1804.9
TDEE: 2797.595

Current diet has been pretty alright yet I kinda go with the flow rather than have a plan. Eat oats for breakfast and lots of chicken, avocado, egg throughout the day. I know a lot of the foods I need to eat but not necessarily when I should eat these foods...

Workout (6 day rotation):
shoulders
biceps
triceps
chest
legs/back
day off

^^Every day, even the day off, I do about 30 min of cardio. Some days I may run 1.5 miles, some days 5 miles where I sprint 400m then walk 400m. 3 sets of abs daily as well.

Proposed Diet:

Meal 1 pro/carb/fat/cal
1/2 cup oats 5/27/2.5/150
7 hard boiled egg whites 25.2/1.4/.7/119

Meal 2 pro/carb/fat/cal
8 oz. chicken breast tenderloins 50/0/1/200
1 avacado 1.4/1.4/27.6/276
8 oz. V8 Juice 2/10/0/50

Meal 3 pro/carb/fat/cal
8 oz. chicken breast tenderloins 50/0/1/200
4 hard boiled egg whites 14.4/.8/.4/68
1 cup baby spinach leaves 1.5g/1g/0/12.5

--Workout around 3-5pm--
Meal 4 pro/carb/fat/cal
PWO - Whey Protein w/ water 24/5/1.5/130
1 Banana 1.3/27/.4/105

Meal 5 pro/carb/fat/cal
8 oz chicken breast tenderloins 50/0/1/200 <--- also substitute salmon and talapia at this point. could i do lean beef here?
1.5 cups green beans 1/7/0/35
1 oz. (24) almonds 6/5/15/170

Meal 6 pro/carb/fat/cal
2 Scoops muscle milk 32/12/18/350

Totals pro/carb/fat/cal
261.5/97.64/67.8/1765
Your recommendation for me earlier:
300/150/100/2700

So, this doesn't look right. I've been running a similar diet to this the past couple weeks - but I know I've put in a lot more than 1765 calories daily, thats not right. I'll eat fruit/ a nutri grain bar or two throughout the day - maybe that's the difference between 1765 and my TDEE.

Either way, what do you think I could fill in some more calories with...? Will lean beef at night help with that? Guess I could also just up my amounts and see where that gets me.

Thanks for the help!

i put you at 2700 calories so you can hold on to muscle and drop fat.. but if your having a hard time eating then maybe you should drop to 2400 calories...

with the changes iv made u should be up to that point. reinterate your macros for me..

your gonna need a slow digesting protien.. so either lean beef, cottage cheese, or casein shake...

how about empty stomach morning cardio?

Most of my workout's are now first thing in the morning. So my cardio has been on an empty stomach.
On a side note, even with all the extra food I've been eating this week, I lost another pound. Must be the increase in the cardio. Thanks for the help bro.
 
Hello, Im sure if this where I should be postin this but I am hoping you can me you. I went to the fitday.com and entered in the foods I have been eating for the past 4weeks. I have also started a cycle is Anavar (var) 5 a day, 10days in.
I work out 4-5 a week doing 15-20mins plus abs daily and intense weight training. My body fat percetage is 24.2 and my BMI is 23.6, my goals are to lose 10pds and reduce my body fat percentage and lean muscle mass. Am I going about this correctly and can you give me any assistance in reaching my goals...Thank you
