Bulking diet

Hey 3J let me start off by saying thanks for hooking it up with some good advice, Ive already learned a lot just from reading this forum so thanks...
Right now Im trying to bulk up at least for a couple more weeks and then I will add cardio to my routine and cut carbs, Two weeks from now will be 8 weeks before I go home from overseas and want to hit the beach as big and leaned out as possible and that will be a trial run for a contest i want to do in Oct. thats why im not doing the cardio right now but will start in two weeks. Hows this look for a bulking diet? Ive put on about 15 lbs in the last 6 weeks but when it comes time to lean up i will cut back on a lot of the carbs because i love them so much but am sensitive to them, the later in the day i eat them i find the more i add size. Any advice on what to cut when to lean up will be helpful and thanks for the critique.

I just returned from school, so my diet is changing back to my Italian family***8217;s shitty eating habits***8230; I try to eat extra protein and stay away from the huge carb-rich meals but my diet still sucks***8230; this is what a typical day looks like now:

(Don***8217;t know the macros)
Meal 1:
4-6 egg white omlette w/ cottage cheese and peanut butter, bowl of cereal
drop cereal for oats
Meal 2:
Cottage cheese and tomato sandwich

Meal 3:
12 inch ham sub (double meat, no cheese), and post workout Whey Shake
so you have a 12 inch sub and a shake?
Meal 4:
Chicken/beef/veal and usually some kind of pasta with tomato sauce, and salad
(fish on Fridays ***8211; Italian, and Catholic)
Midnight snack:
2 bowls of cereal
carbs late at night reduce hgh bursts overnight.. this is horribly counterproductive... not to mention fattening.. no carbs before bed! (unless its pwo)

I train in the late afternoon***8230; Around 5:30, usually I spend about 2 hours at the gym. I work typically one major and one minor muscle group a day(ie: chest and tris, back and bis, shoulders and traps), excluding twice a week when I just do legs***8230;
I do cardio 3 times a week for a half hour at medium-high intensity, HR 150-160bpm (I plan on increasing that to 5 or 6 times a week, and extending it to 45min-1hour).

My body type in the 7 point system is roughly:
4-5-1: endomorph 4 mesomorph 5 ectomorph 1

Trying to cut down over the summer before I start bulking again.
lose the pasta... add a complex carb

rest on day 7.. your overdoing it
Meal one-
1 cup cottage cheese with fruit
1 cup oatmeal with peanut butter and honey
45/62/23/636
you got a prob with eggs?? you need a fast digesting protein here.. so either do some eggs or cut back on the cottage cheese by half and add a small protein shake
Meal two
One cup oat meal with PB and Honey
13/34/19/354
divide your protein evenly throughout your day... theres very little protein here
Meal three
two turkey and cheese sandwiches with pickles and lettuce and mustard

im guessing on wheat bread?

pwo shack

New member and have been reading this diet forum for about a day and looking for a little advice with a diet to shed some pounds. Back injury had me out of commision for over 4 years so my shape is disgusting right now. Dont know all my stats and after reading still a little confused on how to figure it out so Ill shoot for my stats that I know and see if you have any advice from there.
6'4 262 lbs . Have a slight belly and just started the gym about a month ago. Was looking into possibly getting some advice on my diet trying to lose about 30-40 lbs. Doctor just put me on test cyp because my T was in the shitter at around 190. Also gave me a diet pill to help curb my hunger because when i was laid up all i could do was eat and I gained over 40 lbs, and I am constantly hungry and eat way too much. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

hello everyone...

i know many of you are waiting on a response....

im currently busy with clients.. i will get to every last one of you as soon as possible...

thanks for your patience!!!
 
Hey 3J, this thread is awesome- some great advice here!

PLEASE PLEASE help me. I am at my wits ends. I started a cutting diet on January 9th 2011 and have spectacularly fu*ked it up. I have lost a lot of fat but muscle as well! I started at 200 pounds and well over 20% body fat (not sure of exact figure; please see pictures below) and cut down to my current weight as detailed below. I dont know where to go from here; Im quite skinny now but still have excess fat around my waist that I can't seem to shift - I'm lean upper body with all my fat around my waist!

Before I start bulking again I want to strip all the fat off and get down to below 10% BF- I want to see ALL my abs. I figure Ive come this far so might as well finish it off and get as ripped as possible - even if it means going even skinnier. Any help or guidance you could provide would be very much appreciated - ive fallen off the wagon; so to speak, like a lost sheep, and dont know what to do next!


Age: 28

I should mention I am absolutely STARVING hungry all day on this diet; I really have to fight the hunger pangs which are horrible some times!

I plan on using 100mg prop/tren EOD for the next 6 weeks to maintain muscle mass although this is bottom of the priority list until I get the diet sorted. I want to preserve as much muscle mass as possible but reveal my abdominal wall.

Please see the pictures below on how my body shape has changed over the past 5 months.

3-4 litres water per day
2-3 cups of regular tea (with splash of skimmed milk) and 1-2 cups of green tea.

Supplements: Whey protein and a regular multivitamin.

I should mention I am absolutely STARVING hungry all day on this diet; I really have to fight the hunger pangs which are horrible some times!

I plan on using 100mg prop/tren EOD for the next 6 weeks to maintain muscle mass although this is bottom of the priority list until I get the diet sorted. I want to preserve as much muscle mass as possible but reveal my abdominal wall.

Please see the pictures below on how my body shape has changed over the past 5 months.

Please let me know if pictures don't work.

well.. the diet doesn't look bad my friend... i gotta admit..

it seems like your body doesn't like this type of dieting...

how quickly did you lose the weight??

have you ever thought about doing more advanced diets then the one your doing right now??

have you done a refeed?
 
Hey 3J, this thread is awesome- some great advice here!

PLEASE PLEASE help me. I am at my wits ends. I started a cutting diet on January 9th 2011 and have spectacularly fu*ked it up. I have lost a lot of fat but muscle as well! I started at 200 pounds and well over 20% body fat (not sure of exact figure; please see pictures below) and cut down to my current weight as detailed below. I dont know where to go from here; Im quite skinny now but still have excess fat around my waist that I can't seem to shift - I'm lean upper body with all my fat around my waist!

Before I start bulking again I want to strip all the fat off and get down to below 10% BF- I want to see ALL my abs. I figure Ive come this far so might as well finish it off and get as ripped as possible - even if it means going even skinnier. Any help or guidance you could provide would be very much appreciated - ive fallen off the wagon; so to speak, like a lost sheep, and dont know what to do next!


Age: 28
Weight: 182 pounds
Height: 181cm

BF%: 19% measured using Accu-Measure 3000 callipers (although not completely sure if this is correct; please see pictures as a guide)

Please let me know if pictures don't work.

just looked at your pics.. your lower then 19%... 15-16% imo
 
3j thanks for the reply. I've not been doing a weekly refeed - instead having random cheat meals here and there but still feeling empty the following day - perhaps this is where Im going wrong? Is it normal to be starving hungry all day on this sort of diet - do you have to battle and ignore the hunger pangs?

On what day should I have a weekly refeed and what food should it consist of? What I'm frustrated about is that I have made no progress between 09 march and 16 may as evident in my photos - my bodyfat has stayed the same. It seems to be very stubborn around my waist!

A friend of mine has dramatically changed his body shape over the past 6 months and he's still out on the piss every weekend. He is using a 5iu's of growth hormone ED along with Tren, masteron and prop which has completely shredded him. His diet is worse than mine but his training is similar. Ultimately I want to get down to his body fat % as shown in the picture below:

How long will it take me to get to this level? Does growth hormone really shred you that much?! Like me, he was 15% bf in January...Its so frustrating.
