My diet has gone to shit this summer. Just ate whatever and made sure to get my protein intake over 200g a day. There really hasnt been any structure other than that. Im usually very good with being disciplined just not sure what type of macro make up or calorie amount i should be at these days.
 
Hey brother i saw your post and was hoping you could help me out.

BF:45%
I want to get down to 200-205 8% bf or less and get cut
 
Hi 3J My name is David and I'm hailing from Arizona....Back at age 19 I was somewhere around 200 lbs. 5'8'' and 33% body fat. I succeeded in dropping down to 10% at 150 lbs.
Although I know I should be putting on muscle soon, I did bounce back a little and before a clean bulk I would like to trim down (and maybe make some small muscle gains in the process.)

My current stats are:

22 years old
167 lbs.
5'8''
18%
BMR is 1820.41
TDEE is 2503 I put lightly active as I have been doing a 4 day BB split for the past month (not long at all I know).

My long term goal is to build muscle whilst keeping my BF% relatively low (8-10%) but for now I am appealing to your obvious expertise in dropping a bunch of fat pounds whilst maybe building some muscle since I'm a noob to real hard training.

I do not currently do cardio; but I can definitely manage it as I used to run 4-5 miles in 30 minutes at the peak of my weight loss.

I currently work my job on 3rd shift, so my timing is going to be very awkward and some of my meals are poor due to limited access to food.

As far as my diet I eat 5x daily 3 hours apart

Waking up:

1 cup oats
1 can of tuna
3 oz. carrots

Workout 1 hour after meal

PWO-Protein shake w/ 12-16oz. 1% Milk

Second Meal:

Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwich
Protein Shake

Third Meal:

Protein Bar
Yogurt

Fourth Meal:

Beef Jerky
Easy Mac
Banana

Fifth Meal:

3 Eggs (uncooked or hard boiled)
Protein Shake

I know this is absolutely terrible but you requested brutal honesty and that's what it is, lol. I'm willing to adopt whatever regimen/food style I can to make this happen as soon as possible, but I am also patient as I have seen how long true, healthy progress is. Thanks in advance for any help you provide!

3000 calories

250g protein
250g carbs
100g fats.. rougly..

build a diet around that... your starving urself..

also, slowly build up to that diet.. add 500 calories a week... log everything into fitday.com
 
Hey 3J, You helped me out a few weeks ago and I`ve worked out my diet accordingly. I find it difficult to keep my carbs low w/out sacrificing calories so at the end of the day I find myself lagging behind in calories so I try to make up for it then. I have been dead on with my fats though. Here is a sample of what I have been doing.

what kinda potato?

Thats potato salad(plain ol` white potato) .....with mayo in it.
I was food shopping and it was time for my next feeding so I ordered 3/4 lb roast beef and 1/8 lb potato salad and washed it down with some rye bread. I figure its better than grabbin a slice of pizza.

I have added 0% greek yogurt to some of my meals to bring up my protein intake .
Also found at vitamin shop a product called callogen protein. Comes in a bottle and you take it by the tablespoonful.

Ok thank you. When I need more calories to keep gaining should I add them across the board or toward a certain macro?
 
daily totals?? macro breakdown?
