Free Diet Advice from 3J

yea by once, I meant the other day (sorry).

About your whey suggestion for bedtime, I already take 1 scoop of casein (that is what ultra peptide 1.0 is) so I figured i would save money and combine with a regular scoop of whey since it is still slow digesting.

And yes I am trying to bulk (well I will be on my next cycle). Right now I am kind of on a slight cutting diet at 2600 cals but I am trying not to do much cardio (2x per week) since I lost a lot of muscle last time I cut.

Either way, I will alter the diet I posted with your advice in mind

thanks again I appreciate it

np bud...
 
ok heres my stats diet and traning info and goals.

age22
weight160-165lbs
bf8-9%
lean weight in lbs 146.38

Supplements
Kre-alkalyn creatine
no black
whey isolate
casien pro
triple str fish oil (1 a day)
cla (2 a day)
gnc mega men multi vit

Training schedule I train intense with a personnel trainer whos been bbing for 20 years.
mon-chest
tues-back
weds-off
thurs-shoulders
fri-legs
sat-bis and tris
sun-off

this has been my diet for the last 2 weeks. Before that it was lower by 400 cals a day. my mac ratio I use is 50-30-20 carb pro fat. This meal plan gives me approx 2900 cals.. 188g pro..301g carbs...57g fat

meal1
7egg whites
3/4 cup oats
banana
wut kinda banana.. is it green, yelllow, turning brown?? this make a difference in it's effect on your insulin levels
GYM

PWO
40g whey isolate
3/4 cup oats
banana

meal3
1 1/2 cup brown rice (cooked)
5oz chick breast
tbsp olive oil

meal4
5.8oz ww pasta (cooked)
5oz chicken breast
tbsp ov
the pasta is a poor carb choice.. how about sweet potatos or yams??
meal5
3x brown rice cakes
50z chicken breast
tbsp natural pnut butter

Pre bed
30g casien pro
2x tbsp natural pnut butter

on non training days I replace the pwo shake with rice oats or ww pasta and a lean meat. I try not to substitute shakes for meals when ever possible.

Goals: I want to gain lean muscle. I do not want to get fat again. I was fat before and it took me 8-9 months to lose 40 lbs. I am motivated and open to any advice I can get. I am very strict and serious with my diet. I take 1 cheat meal a week. so my wife and I can do some thing nice together. I am the type of person that if I see progress and can track it I have no problem sticking with a program. Thanks alot for the critique.. Be harsh!!!!! so i can get this right thanks.

diet looks decent.. i'd up the protien to about 230g and down the carbs in equal amount (they're both 4 cal per gram)

u need to add phytonutrients to your diet..

veggies would help... u only have bananas..

whats your bmr/tdee? go back to my first post in this thread and the formula is there... do the math for me..
 
Thanks J, as for the Pwo shake it depends. If my food is already premade I have my chicken rice and form of veggie after workout if not I will have a shake. Appreciate your help

whats your bmr/tdee? go back to my first post in this thread and the formula is there... do the math for me..

ok My bmr comes out to 1774 and tdee is 2750. I used the 3-5 times a week number when I multiplied my bmr. But as you saw from my training its 5 days
 
you look okay.. i would just make the changes in bold... up phytonutrient content and keep an eye on your measurments.. if you start to slack up 200 calories e3d

THanks bro. My cycle is coming up here in the next couple weeks, besides diet, are there any supps you would recommend (certain vitamins, dextrose etc?)

1-9 Test Prop 150mg eod
1-8 Tren A 50mg ed
1-8 Mast Prop 100mg eod
5-12 Igf1-Lr3 100mcg eod

Will be trying to shred down to 6-7% bf, and want to make sure I have everything down to a T.
 
i like bcaa's and l-glute...

i would make the prop 75mg ed and inject it with the tren, more stable blood levels.. u can mix the two

Gotcha bro.. The diet I had posted earlier in the thread will that be ok to run while on this cycle? Should I modify it in someway? Main goal is to gain some lean mass and get as lean as possible.
 
Hey Jamy, glad I found you :D

I hope you won't mind taking a look at this. I think I covered my stats and what I'm eating pretty well below.

I train 3 days a week + 30 mins LI cardio pwo. I usually train about an hour after meal 2 and sometimes I miss one of the remaining meals.

I also do am cardio on 2-3 other days. Usually LI but occasionally HIIT.

Since I've typed this all out, I realize that I should probably drop the calories a bit. Probably cut some of the carbs?

Pro/Carb/Fat/Cals

let's start with that..
 
Yeah I figured the ham would be in question.

That total is NOT counting the PWO shake.

remove the oats pwo.. do 1/2 a bagel instead... were gonna start with that. .your activity level is a little low.. is there any way you can do cardio 5 days a week?

how about early morning empty stomach cardio?? it's not a must, just a recomendation..
 
putting out alot of time to help guys out...impressive...anyway, here i go:

Age: 23
Weight: 180
Height: 5’8”
Bf: 20%
Goal: eventually 10% @ 170lbs
TDEE: ~2600

I used to lift seriously a few years back but im basically starting fresh now after a year out of the gym and eating pretty poorly, traveling alot, and drinking 7 nights a week. . .

Been working with a trainer for about 1 1/2 weeks to get a routine going. He suggested my diet should be something like 35/50/15 PRO/CARB/FAT i thought something more like 40/40/20 would be better but i dont know all too much which brings me here. . .

Right now im lifting 3 days a week and doing cardio 5 days a week when i wake up before eating for 30-40 minutes medium intensity eliptical (thinking of switching to stair climber)

Other considerations is that i take Adderall(an amphetamine) 5-6 days a week. Wondering if that will affect my calorie burning?

Anyway, i was planning on dropping to 2,000 cals, not sure if thats too low or if it will make it near impossible to have any sort of lean mass gains.

Diet as of now is something like this(as i actually write this out i see im missing alot):

Meal 1: 2 eggs, 2/3 cup egg whites, 1.5oz mozzarella cheese, and mushrooms. 1/2 cup oats

Workout...PWO shake 40g whey need to add carbs, what kind? (what should my protein/carb be for this)

Meal 2: either 8oz ribeye steak(cant find smaller ones?) or 4% lean ground beef... with 1 cup brown rice

Meal 3: 2 lean cuisine turkey and green beans (TOTAL: 300 cals, 30g protein, 12g fat, 20g carbs)

Meal 4: Salmon/rice or same as meal 2

Meal 5: either steak, salmon, or the lean ground beef...no rice

Guess after seeing it written out it looks a bit empty, especially for carbs. . . i need to make chicken more often as well as the ground beef as i can premake 3 meals and i eat more often, smaller portions, and get enough carbs in. . .

Ive cut down my alcohol considerably from what i was drinking before but do still drink. . . I rather add an extra day of cardio and another 5-10 minutes each time than completely eliminate it from my diet. . . at least until i get to a point that those extra cals are a huge deal. . .

anyway, id appreciate any input. . . let me know anything i left out that might help. . .

Being pretty out of shape, im sure that any diet is going to show decent results right now and that im just gonna need to tweak it after a few weeks. . .

Also, shoot me your email, im interested in what it would cost for personal diet/training consulting for the future. . .

bad idea.. we'll talk about that though

[
Workout...PWO shake 40g whey need to add carbs, what kind? (what should my protein/carb be for this)
semi-simple.. white rice, bagel, pasta.. etc
Meal 2: either 8oz ribeye steak(cant find smaller ones?) or 4% lean ground beef... with 1 cup brown rice
push this down later in the day.. just the steak though.. put some fish, chicken, or turkey here
Meal 3: 2 lean cuisine turkey and green beans (TOTAL: 300 cals, 30g protein, 12g fat, 20g carbs)
lean cuisine?? u mean the stuff filled with preservatives?? omit, eat real home cooked meals
Meal 4: Salmon/rice or same as meal 2

Meal 5: either steak, salmon, or the lean ground beef...no rice
how about a meal 6??

lose the alcohol, make it a social thing at the least... cant be drinkin everyday..

i have never and will never charge for diet advice.. you have questions.. ask away.. you need more help, ask away.. you can pm me, e-mail me, messenger pigeon me for all i care...

but i need somethings from you. and if you read through the first post of this thread like everyone is supposed to you would know...

1. i need macros... pro/fat/cal/carb of each meal.. use fitday.com to help... put the time in to figure out your macros

2. i need your workout and cardio reg.. what intensity is your workout, how about your cardio? low? high? hiits? whats your heart rate at for cardio? what do you do for a living, sit around? move boxes? etc..
 
I'll put together an exact diet and put the macros up tonight. . .

The workouts seem high intensity as my trainer has had me doing a 2 day split so far:
Day 1: Chest/bis/legs
2-3 sets of incline bench -> dumbel curls -> step ups and standing squats (no weight) all with little to no rest in between

2-3 sets hamstring curls -> incline press and leg elevated push ups -> calfs

all with abs thrown in the mix (sit ups, planks, other stuff i dont know the name for)

*we've done day 1 twice so far and the exercises changed.

Day 2: Back/tris/shoulders
2-3 sets bent over rows -> tricept extentions -> dips -> shoulder raises w/ dumbells
2-3 sets pulldowns -> shoulder press -> dips
all down with the abs thrown in the mix as well
*again done day 2 twice and its changed a bit

He is saying that this is just for now until i get into better shape. Im definitely not used to this kind of workout and its actually somewhat hard to recall everything exactly since he's switching it up and taking something out of each set the more tired i get.

As for cardio, i would say its medium intestity, usually on the elyptical as i get shin splints on the treadmill. My hear rate is at least 140 most of the time and gets as high as 150-160. What heart rate should i be aiming for? Should i be doing intervals going from a certain heart rate to a higher one back and forth for X amount of minutes each? i obv need to cut BF but i want to be getting at least some lean mass. . .

I do sit around for a living actually, haha. . . i work from home. Obviously this should make it insanely easy to eat great. My work needs 3-5 hours of intense focus at a time where i cant take more than 5 minute breaks, so i really need to be making multiple meals for the day ahead of time. . .

As for where i got that TDEE, i cant recall the website so i'll search for one again, do it again, and let you know the info. . .

thx again

140 sounds about right.. you can switch between 140 and 150-160 intervals.. 1 minute high, 3 minutes low... that's a hiits system

recalc it using the formula #1 i have in the original post.. if you dont know your bf for sure, u can pm a pic to me for estimates..
thx again

your trainer has you on a interval training system it seems.. that's alotta muscle groups to hit in one day, yet i would say stick with it for now.. it'll condition your body out of the slack its in right now...

we'll modify it later..
 
Ok i did your calc and my BMR = 1784.8 and i multiplied by 1.55 to get a TDEE of 2766.44


As for the diet, this is what i came up with... i revised it twice and make my portions smaller on the meat. . . this is higher than i wanted but you commented on my calories being lowered to 2000 so i thought i'd throw this up here and see what you would recomend changing...

Meal 1: 2 eggs(192/13.5/3/14.3) 1 cup egg whites(85/18/1/0) 1.5 oz mozzarella cheese (130/10/2/9) 1/2 cup oats (80/3/16/1)
487/ 43/ 22/ 24

PWO shake 40g whey + 1 bagel
430/40/53/2

Meal 2: 5oz salmon(250/32/0/5) + 1 cup brown rice(220/6/42/3.5)
470/ 38/ 42/ 8.5

Meal 3: 4oz lean ground beef (140/24/0/4.5) + 1 cup brown rice(220/6/42/3.5)
360/ 30/ 42/ 8

Meal 4: same as meal 3
360/ 30/ 42/ 8

Meal 5: same as meal 3 minus the rice
140/ 24/ 0/ 4.5

Meal 6: 6oz steak
(350/50/0/10)

cal/pro/carb/fat 2597/ 255/ 201/ 65

thanks bro. . .

how about early morning empty stomach cardio?? it's not a must, just a recomendation..

I currently do cardio 3 days a week pwo plus an additional 2-3 days on my off days. Are you suggesting I do an additional 5 days? That would make 8 cardio sessions a week.

So just half a plain white bagel? I'll give that a try. Why that instead of the oats though?

ohh.. i thought it was only 3 days.. that's how you made it seem...

that's fine...

oats are a complex carb.. takes more time to digest..

you need quicker absorbing carbs.. yet you dont want them to be really quick (some people do).. a semi-simple carb works exactly in that way.. it's a 3 chained carb unlike complex carbs which are 7 chained... it gets to your muscles when they really need it, help you recover and grow lbm..
