I would gauge myself between ectomorph and mesomorph. I started 350mg/wk deca only cycle. Ran it for 11 weeks. Starting weight beginning of June was 163lbs 14%bf. Pct was 20mg Novadex 1-5wks. During cycle I was following this diet as a base line and then eating fruit, and some other foods when hunger spiked. At the end of the cylce I reached 185lbs. Now I'm following this diet and fluctuate between 175lbs - 180lbs. Not sure weather I achieved reasonable gains on this cycle or am I being to anal about myself. Any chance u could critique this diet or recommend any suggestions where I could improve. Plan is to run test e 250mg /wk for 10-12 weeks come Dec.

Meal 1 5:00am
2 whole eggs
6 egg whites
1 cream of wheat packet
1/4 cup dry oats
1/2 grapefruit

Meal 2 7:30am
2 slices whole wheat bread
1 1/2 tbsp almond butter
1 1/4 scoops all natural whey isolate protein powder

Meal 3 9:00am or sometimes 9:30am
500grams fat free cottage cheese
1 astro yogurt (100grams)
8 almonds
1 packet cream of wheat
1/4 cup dry oats

put a faster absorbing protein here.. fish/chicken/turkey
Meal 4 12:00pm
5 oz of yams
6 oz chicken breast or lean ground chicken
2 cups of brocolli
437c/56p/51c/7f

Meal 5 2:30pm
1 1/2 can(s) of tuna or 6 oz lean ground chicken
5oz baked potato or 5 rice cakes

Meal 6 6:00pm PWO

360cal/56p/40c/0f

TOTAL: 3059cal/323p/349c/52f

everything else looks good.. what you wanna do is add calories weekly if you dont see a 1-2lb gain.. but let that be your max.. no more then 1-2lbs.. once you have that then start your cycle.. add 300 calories in 3 weeks.. another 200 calories 3 weeks after that.. and 300 calories near the end... that should do you right

so it looks ok.. i dont like that shake in meal six.. make the changes iv asked for and pay attention to your weight.. see if its going up.. if its going up more then 1-2lbs off cycle then its too much..

once you know how much you need to eat to gain 1-2lbs.. follow the advice i gave the gentleman in the post above about how to add calories while on cycle

good luck!!
 
i want to thank everyone for the patience.. its been a very very busy month for me with my company
 
LOL chip has always been my biggest advorcate. These guys know where I'm at if they wanna step up their game and be under my supervision full time. full
NONE of 3j's knowledge should come for free. Sorry, but as cheap as his prices are, that is just the way I feel.

first off thanks for replying back

ok for meal 6, how does this look

300g cottage chesse
3 boiled eggs (2 whites ONE whole)
1 orange


i am not sure how much cals are in 300g cottage chesse but am guessing 300g is enough to go above 250 cals

and yes i will also add 30g more carbs to meal 5, would almonds do there that would mean some extra fat as well as crabs?

advice is appreciated, thanks once again

When u refer to adding calories is it complex carbs, protein or fats? Also when I run the cycle u mentioned add 300 cals in 3 wks so does this mean 100 cal per week or 300 cals for 3 weeks?

awesome thread bro. you've helped so many people out its awesome. hopefully I can be a client of yours one day.

BMR: 2174
TDEE: 3750

age: 31
weight: 205lbs
height 5'9
bf: 15%
goals.. be specific: trying to get a flat stomach and maintain muscle mass. I honestly don't have any visible fat on my body except a little inch of stomach fat. I am currently running the carb cycling diet below.

Low carb days (Tues,Weds,Thurs Sat,Sun)

meal1 cal/fat/carb/pro
8 large egg whites 137/0.4/1.9/28.7
2 large whole eggs 167/12.2/1.3/12.3
2 slice ezikiel bread 180/1/30/8

meal2 PWO cal/fat/carb/pro
1 scoop whey 111/0/0/27
1 white bagel (uncooked) 270/1.7/53/10.5

meal3 cal/fat/carb/pro
6oz chicken breast w/o skin 177/3.8/0/33.2
1 oz (about 22 pieces) almonds 172/15.6/5/6
1 cup broccoli

meal4 cal/fat/carb/pro
6oz chicken breast w/o skin 177/3.8/0/33.2
1 oz (about 22 pieces) almonds 172/15.6/5/6
1 cup broccoli

meal5 cal/fat/carb/pro
8oz salmon 331/13.4/0/49
1 cup broccoli

meal6 cal/fat/carb/pro
8 large egg whites 137/0.4/1.9/28.7
2 large whole eggs 167/12.2/1.3/12.3

2198 Cals, 80g Fat, 150g Carbs, 253g Protein

High carb days (Mon, Fri)

meal1 cal/fat/carb/pro
6 slices Ezekiel bread 480/3/90/24
3tbsp low sugar maple syrup 70/0/7/0/7g sugar

meal2 cal/fat/carb/pro
6oz chicken breast w/o skin 177/3.8/0/33.2
1 cup oatmeal 311/5.1/54.3/13
1 strawberry oatmeal packet 150/4/29/2/9g sugar

meal3 PWO cal/fat/carb/pro
1 scoop whey 111/0/0/27
1 white bagel (uncooked) 270/1.7/53/10.5

meal4 cal/fat/carb/pro
6oz chicken breast w/o skin 177/3.8/0/33.2
1 1/2 medium sweet potato 172/0.3/40.1/3.1
1 cup broccoli

meal5 cal/fat/carb/pro
6oz chicken breast w/o skin 177/3.8/0/33.2
1 cup broccoli

meal6 cal/fat/carb/pro
6oz chicken breast w/o skin 177/3.8/0/33.2
1 cup broccoli

2363 calories, 29g fat, 300g carbs, 209g protein


I honestly haven't had a cheat meal or anything in years. everything I eat is very clean. I use the maple syrup and oatmeal packet on my high carb days to leave me some sanity for the next 3 days of low carb, but I will take it out if I have to.

I have been doing this diet for about 9 weeks now. I have lost a little bit of fat but I feel like I could be losing alot more.

I'm doing 45min of cardio 6-7 days a week on an empty stomach in the morning or PWO. On my off days I take out the eziekel bread/bagel and have it a no carb day.

Could a cheat meal of say pizza every few weeks help out with my metabolism? I was thinking that a cheat meal here and there could get me out of this plateau

thanks bro
