My goal is to lower bodyfat to <15%. I take adderall every morning for ADHD. It looks like I have been undereating the past year or so as I have been at around 1,800 calories per day during that time without losing weight. Part of that is probably too much cheating on weekends but that's over. Do I need to do anything different since my metabolism is probably shot?

Workout is lifting 4x per week, 1-2 body parts each time, 9-12 sets per body part(each bodypart is 3-4 exercises of 12-10-8). 30 minutes jog after lifting, should I change this to keep heartrate below 130?. I plan to walk 3 days per week for 1 hour on empty stomach. Thanks so much for your help.
everything else looks good.. add some veggies to your meals...

work your way up to this diet.. if you have been eating 1800 calories your gonna have to slowly make ur way up to what you really need

just so i get this straight, u wanna bulk right??
u dont wanna cut?
 
yes i want to add some more lean muscle and mass before i cut down. I am just conerened with putting on too much fat as i have always kind of had a layer of flab even during the hockey season i am jsut skinnier. I play hockey during the winter and it can be difficult for me to bulk that time as i usually loose weight and muscle during the season.
 
also that TDEE is for the hockey off season and right now i hit the weights hard 4 times a week for about 45 mins. Train abs.cardio session once a week, usualy take sat sunday off. Also I play softball twice a week for about 2 hours in the evenings. Its not very demanding on the body slight gets the heart going but fairly laid back. Hope this helps.

meal 1
2 whole eggs, 2 pieces wholegrain toast, one glass skim milk
not a big fan of wholegrain toast.. how about oats?
Meal 2
One scoop whey protein shake mixed with 250 ml of skim milk
handful of almonds
handful of dry cereal
why a shake, is this pwo?? doesn't seem like it.. eat real food
Meal 3
usually footlong low fat sub from subway (turky breast or ham) loaded with veggies, mustard is only sauce
a footlong sub from subway is 100g carbs.. wayy to much for one sitting.. maybe a 6 inch? i like to do a foot long chicken breast with double meat and only eat 1/2 at a time 3hrs apart.. 50g protien 50g carbs.. much better.. but yet those are carbs from bread.. not the best of choices.. but u can get away with it since ur bulking
Meal 4 (pre workout)
one slice whole wheat bread
20 g turkey breast

Meal 5 (post workout)
Whey protein shake 250 skim milk
glass of apple juice
drop the apple juice.. use a white bagel, rice, or pasta here
Meal 6
varies usually 2 chicken breasts, one baked potato, a garden salak
sometimes pasta and chicken
what kinda baked potato? what kinda pasta?
Meal 7
one chicken breast
some rice
glass of skim milk
id drop the chicken for some lean beef

this is my mon to friday diet it does not change to much from this. I try to to get these same meals like this on sat and sundays but it is far more difficult. The fat content is increaed a bit on the weekends and i do indulge in the occasional cold one.

The reason for the protein shake for meal 2 is that its very difficult at that time for me to sit down and eat some real food as i am am a school teacher an it is difficult to get time then.

Also on days i play softball i usually bring a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich one whole wheat to eat between games just to keep me going. Lots of times i could be at the ball diamond for 4 hours so the pb n j tides me over untill i get home.

your lacking efas... u need another 400 calories imo if u wanna put some size and strength on... u should do it with efa's...

so avocado, evoo, cashews, fish oil, etc.. google away..

get 40g more fats in ur system.. that'll help u grow.....

It s lot of protein consumption and i still have to lower the carbs to 150g!! is it possible to consume more (good) fats?

If i was doing an anabolic cycle i would up the protein no problem but upping the protein consumption i fear to waste my protein....
 
Hey bud. Ive been on a mission lately to better my body.. lost 25 lbs using a couple diff. dieting methods. Now im looking to gain size and lose my stubborn mid section fat n reveal some abs hah. Im using 500ml cyp/week and eatting about 2000 clean cals now. Id appreciate if you gave me a little help and guidance. Ive dropped 25 lbs. and have started this new diet here and have been stuck at about 181 for a week or two.. I flucuate a few lbs every couple days.. I just want to know how much i need to eat exactly.. im trying to get as big as possible but wanna drop bf% at the same time.

Male.

BMR (used internet) 2238 this is wrong, i have u at 1791
tdee 3469 2800

I neglected my body throughout highschool n enjoyed partying more than taking care of myself.. trying to reverse this now. Ive been working out 5-6 days a week with cardio for at least 30 min at 130bpm 6-7 days a week.

chest tris
back bis
shoulders forearms
legs abs, then start over after a day off.


Like my father, biglykarny, i used the Ideal Protein diet to shred some pounds but only used it for 2 weeks to drop 12 lbs. Immediately after we started our gear and a more relevant diet for gaining and growing.

Heres my typical day

Cal/Fat/Carb/Pro
Breakfast
2 whole eggs 2 egg whites (181/10/1.3/20)
1/2 cup oats (150/2.5/27/5) OR
1 cup of Jordans whole grain Muesli with 125 ml skim milk (210cal/5gfat/34carb/8gpro)
with a scoop of Vege green phytonutrient.
id say add some more whites here
Meal 2
4 oz chicken breast (120/1/0/20)
22 almonds (172/15/5/6)
2 turkey peperoni (100/4/2/14)
add carbs
Meal 3
4 oz chicken breast (120/1/0/20)
2 cups cucumber in vinegar (40/0/20/12)
2 turkey peperoni (100/4/2/14)

Meal 5 (Pre workout)
4-6 oz chicken breast (120-140/1-1.5/0/20-30)
1/2 cup oats (150/2.5/27/5)

PWO
2 scoops of Isoflex protein for shake with water with half scoop in the pre oats(277/0.2/1.2/67.5)
1 white mini bagel (100/0.5/21/4)

Snack
6 oz lean beef (158/5.3/0/26)and at least a gallon of water throughout the day
add an efa here.. i like avocados.. but u can choose any efa
Total
1938/48/106/253.5

I seem to do better with a strict diet that i have to follow and i have good willpower to follow through.. any help would be appreciated bro. Thanks
Ceevs

Hey bud.. you forgot me.. lemme know when you got some free time.. thanks bro!


SORRY I HAD TO EDIT YOUR POST.. I COULDN'T FIND YOUR ORIGINAL.. IF YOUR LOOKING TO ADD LEAN MASS U NEED TO EAT PAST YOUR TDEE.. SO I WOULD SAY 3200 CALORIES AND U'LL BE GOOD. U'LL PUT ON A LITTLE BITTA FAT.. BUT IT'LL BE MINIMAL AND EASILY TAKEN OFF WITH A GOOD CUTTING PHASE AFTER YOUR BULK..

3200 CALORIES
300G PROTIEN
300G CARBS
88G FATS

U CAN ALSO LOWER UR CARBS AND RAISE YOUR FATS.. FOR EVERY 2G OF CARBS THAT YOU LOWER UP YOUR FATS BY 1G.. THAT SHOULD ROUGHLY WORK OUT

I do cardio atleast 4 times a week, and I try not to go under an hour, keeping my HR between 120-140 bpm

I also work roofing 1-4 times a week
 
18 years old
221 lbs, my goal is 205lbs, came down from 270lbs as of march
6'1
BF, website says 15.81% using YMCA formula and 20.74% using the Navy Seal formula

Thats pretty damn impressive dropping 50Lbs in 3 months. I could understand an initial drop the first month but to sustain it for 3 months is impressive.
