height: 5***8217;6
bf: 25%
goals: I am a female College swimmer, and I am trying to get back in shape for swim season. I have gained almost twenty pounds(of fat) and I am looking for a healthy diet to shed some of that weight!


-Im not sure how to figure out my BMR***8230;or my TDEE***8230;sorry! I***8217;m new to all of this stuff.


DAILY DIET:
Meal one 9am
½ cup oatmeal
1 large hardboiled egg
1 slice Ezekial bread with 1 teaspoon almond butter
OR..
1 serving of toasted Oats organic cereal
1 cup of nonsweetened almond milk
1 banana or blueberries

Some kind of fruit (strawberries, grapes, blueberries)
Or***8230;

Meal 5 5:30 pm
Sweet potato
Or
Almonds
Meal 6 7pm
4 oz salmon
¼ cup lentils

(Sometimes I substitute quinoa for the lentils)
Sometimes I switch it up and have chicken instead of fish or I make a salad with spinach leaves and cottage cheese with other veggies
Meal 7 8:30-9 pm
1 cup of greek yogurt with flax seed (or sometimes I put a little protein powder in it)
Or***8230;
1 serving of cottage cheese with flax seed

Daily totals

Calories: around 1500 (plus im working out a lot so I should probably be eating more..)
(Ive been eating like this for 2 weeks or so..)

-if I am to cheat, I eat 85 % or 90% dark chocolate or i eat a dark chocolate protein bar...

CARDIO WORKOUTS:
-everyday I am in the pool swimming for atleast 2 hours (im really trying to get back into it..lately I haven***8217;t been swimming that often)
-also, I am doing 30 minutes to an hour of cardio daily (includes running, walking, biking on a stationary bike, elliptical)
WEIGHT WORKOUTS:
-I split it up into 3 day cycles..
Monday and Thursday are chest and back
-Tuesday and Friday are biceps triceps and shoulders
-Wednesday and Saturday are butt, quads,hamstrings and calves

-I am an athlete so I do use quite a bit of weight for the majority of these exercises and I would say that I am moderately active to very active with all of the swimming I normally do.

Thank you so much for your help! Ill post a picture of me so you can see what I look like and you can help me figure out my BMR and all of that. All of my fat gathers in my mid section mostly so that is the main area where I am trying to tone. Thanks again!

3J - what do you thing about Keto Diet?
great way to drop bf in my opinion.. taxing on the mind though.. you have to have a strong will.. if you were some corn fed guy all your life you might have a hard time with it
 
guys i know i have not been here for a while.. getting engaged does that to you.. so does remodeling..

so if i havn't responded to you and you still want me to, please tell me you post number

and what do you think about gaining mass on keto? I have a problem - only on keto I can stay lean - if I start eating a lot of carbs on mass cycles I start gaining fat rapidly!

Ok, I'm going to give this a try :)

34 year old male

Body fat 20 to 22%

Two pieces whole wheat toast

Two eggs with cheese

Cheese of some kind

I work out 3 to 4 times a week lifting heavy for about an hour. Usually Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and sometimes Friday. I lift after work around 3:30
On Monday and Wednesday I do MMA classes for about an hour. These classes are at 6:00 PM

I am also currently doing 500mgs test cyp and Arimidex as an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). I am looking to recomp while slowly dropping some fat. I am not going to see my abs for a couple of years I'm sure. I am a bulky guy, well built but I carry a majority of my body fat between my chest and midsection (which is why I'm running the AI) I would really like to drop some fat and lean out. I don't really go by the scale because it doesn't work for me. At 245lbs I wear a 36 waist pants and a Large shirt, sometimes my shoulder width puts me into an XL. I am a very broad guy, I'm not "fat" but I want to have more definition. But... I am really hoping to not lose the mass I have now. It would be great to know where I should have my macros, I don't currently count calories, carbs, or anything at the moment. I'm ready to do so but not sure where to start.

So, please critique me, sir :D

And many congrats on your recent engagement! Married life is wonderful when paired with the right partner :)
 
Hey 3J, I've been following your threads and it's really been an eye opener for me on how important nutrition is in conjunction with training. I'd like to get some help from you on customizing a clean bulk diet for myself off and on my upcoming cycle. I've tried to get as much information for you as possible so if you need anything else I'll do the best I can. :)
(Questions at the bottom).

STATS:
Age: 23
Height: 6'1" / 73"
Weight: 185lbs/ 84kg

*8-10 reps/ 3-4 sets
*cardio 15% incline, 5mph, 30-40mins HR: approx 140/min (Brisk walk) 1-2/wk

DIET:
I've been eating 4-5 meals/day (including 1 PWO shake). I don't know the macros on what I've been eating.
I have been eating relatively healthy for the past month but I know I'm definitely not eating enough.
-7am-My breakfasts have been quick and not that great w/ simple carbs and fruit.
-9am- (In class-Massage therapy student) Raw almonds and avocado or fruit.
-1230pm- Chicken breast and a small slice of yam, mashed with cinnamon & Pre-WO
-2pm-PWO iso protein shake w/skim milk.
-5pm- Brown rice w/ chicken breast and veggies (broccoli/carrots)
-sometimes between 7-9pm i'll snack on nuts, fruit, veggies.
-Also sometimes I'll make a protein shake and drink half before bed and the other half when I wake up.(been using iso whey but I'm going to invest in some caisian protien.)


SUPPLEMENTS:
Whey isolate
Casein protein
Creatine monohydrate
GNC mega men multi-vit
Fish oil
1MR pre-WO

CYCLE:
Weeks 1-4 dbol 40mg/ED
Weeks 1-10 test enanthate 500mg/wk

Weeks 11-16 Aromasin 15/15/15/15/10/10 ED
Weeks 13-16 Nolvadex 50/50/25/25 ED

QUESTIONS:
I have never done a Bulk/Cut before or tried aiming for daily macros.
I've been on a few sites doing some research and they all had conflicting percentages on P/C/F
and it kind of discouraged me to even try. I'm wondering how do you customize the macro %'s for the type of diet/goals I want?

I'm going to be starting my cycle within the next few weeks to a month.
How different are the macros gonna fluctuate while on cycle vs. off?

Kind of off topic, but I was wondering what your thoughts on my cardio. (Brisk incline walk on treadmill)
Is it good enough for cardio? I feel like I lose gains if I do long dist jog for 30mins. or maybe it's just my diet.

Any advise or input is greatly appreciated. I look forward to your reply.
I'll try to reply ASAP.

Cheers!

Goals: Started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) back in May, doing 250mg/week Test-E w/ hcg. Looking to pack up on some muscle for the next 3-4 months and then re-evaluate. Been running the diet below for a few weeks although at around 3k cals/day. Want to up cals to 3.5k for maximum muscle gain (Is this optimal? Do I need more/less?). Gaining some fat is tolerable although not preferable, obviously :)
