Free Diet Advice from 3J

Hi guys great thread just started a cutting diet for the summer am looking for any help possible to let me know what needs changing! Diet is pretty much the same each day with one cheat meal on a suday afternoon ..... My goal is to reduce as much bf% as possible with minimal weight loss.

stats:
Age - 20
Height - 5 foot 11 inches
Weight - 186 pounds
BF% - 12-13%

Diet currently is:

meal 1 - 7:45am, Scrambled egg ( 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites ) with 2 pieces of wholemeal bread

snack 1 - 10:45am, Either green apple or 30g dried apricots or porridge

snack 2 - 1:00pm, Protein shake ( Nutrisport 90+ ... 40g protein 1.9g fat 2.4g carbs )

meal 2 - 2:30pm, 2 chicken breasts with either rice or pasta, sometimes chicken salad

snack 3 - 5.00pm, Either can of tuna or 1 chicken breast

6:30pm Cardio workout ( atleast 9km run on treadmill )

meal 3 - 7:30pm, Salmon or chicken with rice or veggies

9:00pm Weight lifting ( around 45mins pretty intense )

snack 4 - 10:00pm, Protein shake ( same as before )

worked ou my BMR to be 3085 calories

Havnt worked out macros yet but will do that tonight .... just wondering how this seems so far to you guys?

Cheers in advance for any replies.
 
snack 4 should be meal 4.. it should have carbs cuz you just worked out.. and ur gonna have to mix casein into ur shake too.. its tough when u work out late
 
thanks .... what would you recommend for snacl/meal 4? the shake already has casien in so that should be ok on that front but would you also have something to eat with the shake?


typed in my food intake on fitday ... daily macros come up at

2005 kal/49.9g fat/169.2g carbs/224.6g protein

will probably differ very slightly from day to day but not by much at all

thanks guys
 
Ok 3J. My trainer is currently Hany Rambod and he created a diet for me that, frankly with my job, it's near impossible... basically too much variety. It's strictly solid foods, aside from PWO shake, but i need to have shakes in there because of my schedule.
Age 24
Weight 180
BF 8-10%
Goal is to hit 190 naturally before running gear again.
My new diet I designed is as follows so I'd appreciate any input.

Meal1: 2 scoops Carnivor protein 232 46/12/0
1 cup egg whites 117 26/0/0
3/4 cup oats dry 188 7/40/4

Meal2: 1.5 cups white rice 250 6/67/0
8 oz lean ground beef 300 50/0/9

Meal3: PWO 2 scoops isolate 220 50/3/1
1 scoop dextrose 200 0/50/0

Meal4: 1.5 cups white rice 250 6/67/0
8 oz chicken 220 54/0/3

Meal5: same as meal 2

Meal6: 2 scoops carnivor 232 46/12/0
3/4 cup oats 188 7/40/4

Hey 3j, quick Q.... we got me on these macros cal/pro/carb/fat 2597/ 255/ 201/ 65, for light cutting... wanted to know how low do my carbs have to get to actually hinder my fat loss? i know some days i might only get like 100g of carbs, maybe because i happened to wake up really late and not be lifting that day. How bad is that? Ive read some stuff on carb cycling so i imagine it cant be terrible to go that low on carbs... I do make sure and hit my carbs the days after i lift when i can feel my body needing it. Let me know, thanks.
 
Well thanks for sharing such a useful information about dieting and fitness it will help us in our dieting program..
 
I know, I prefer all solid foods too, just too hard with my job. Should I add more calories somewhere, or leave it. I want to get up to 190

30g fats??? u best up that shit right away... your pro/carb intake is fine...

your fats are horribly low.. thats how low i go for a refeed day..

it's time to introduce some efas...

avocados
almonds
cashews
coconut oil
evoo
almond butter
peanut butter

google away buddy..


add 55g of efas

what was your tdee?
 

well.. i dont like going under 150g of carbs unless your carb cycling...


u can lower your carb intake on off days.. where u dont workout..

so unless you wanna go carb cycle, keep those carbs up on workout days..

if u do wanna go carb cycle.. what exactly are you proposing??? what kinda of carb cycle do u wanna do??

dont really wanna carb cycle cause i have no set schedule so it would be insanely hard to plan out/keep track. Basically was just wondering if its a big problem to not hit a min of 150g of carbs if its on days im not lifting. On days i lift i can get my carbs in since im getting in my PWO meal and generally wake up earlier on those days.

If it was a big deal, i was just gonna buy some maltodextrine and throw in some carbs via a shake to make sure im getting enough. All the meal replacement shakes dont really have many carbs.

I realize your not a big proponent of shakes, but with my weird working hours and adderall consumption its just something im gonna have to have in my diet.

On another note, i saw a post u made in another thread regarding the last meal of the day. I didnt know there was a big diff between like chicken and lean beef before bed, so now im making sure to eat a lean steak before bed now each night instead of chicken or turkey.
 
yea, try to stay above 150g on your off days.. no biggie if you miss another 50g here and there.. it wont be the end of the world..

if you have to have a shake, do it.. its better then nothing

and beef is always going to be the best thing to eat before bed.. jmo..

if you look at both my bulking and cutting diets, i eat beef before bed.. u can also do cottage cheese.. but dairy has a hard time breaking down and absorbing
