wow.. I feel like posting this morning.. let me see if this look good. dont want retype this so I will cut and paste from my notes!
The Calories:
Body weight in lbs x 10kcal
Bodyweight* Calorie Intake
100 lbs 1000kcal (900-1100)
150 lbs 1500kcal (1350-1650)
200 lbs 2000kcal (1800-2200)
250 lbs 2500kcal (2250-2750)
300 lbs 3000kcal (2700-3300)
The Macronutrient Split:
Protein should make up between 30 and 35% of your daily intake
Carbs should make up 10-15% of your intake. All of your carbohydrates on the Get Shredded Diet should come from fresh vegetable sources (preferably organic) like spinach, broccoli, green beans, asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower, different color peppers, carrots, tomatoes, etc.
Fats should make up 55-60% of your intake. You should be getting a fairly even mixture of saturates, polyunsaturates, and monounsaturates (this means about 33% of your total fat coming from each). But don't worry, you don't have to be exact. Simply adding some olive oil, flax oil, fish oil, and avocado each day will help.
Bodyweight Calorie Intake Protein Intake Carb
Intake Fat
Intake
100 lbs 1000kcal 75g 25g 66g
150 lbs 1500kcal 113g 38g 100g
200 lbs 2000kcal 150g 50g 132g
250 lbs 2500kcal 188g 63g 167g
300 lbs 3000kcal 226g 76g 200g
Meal Timing:
Now that we've established your calorie, protein, carb, and fat goals, let's talk meal breakdowns. Fortunately, this part is simple. You're going to eat 4 food meals each day with your calories evenly split throughout the day. So, simply divide the numbers above by 4 to get your per-meal totals.
Again, another chart to ballpark your meal-by-meal goals:
Bodyweight Calorie
Intake/Meal Protein
Intake/Meal Carb
Intake/Meal Fat
Intake/Meal
100 lbs 250kcal 19g 7g 17g
150 lbs 375kcal 28g 10g 25g
200 lbs 500kcal 38g 13g 33g
250 lbs 625kcal 47g 16g 42g
300 lbs 750kcal 57g 19g 50g
*Of course, if you're in between these weights, do your own calcs, they're pretty simple.
Now, does each meal need to be exactly 1/4th of the daily total. No! Just make sure that you're splitting your food intake up relatively evenly throughout the day and you'll be fine.
The Re-Feed Day:
Aww, yea... the part you've all been waiting for — the re-feed. Once every 14 days on this plan you're permitted a re-feed. Here's what you do:
• Pick out your re-feed days for the entire Get Shredded Diet period in advance. Schedule them on your calendar and stay committed to your strict plan, knowing there's light at the end of the tunnel — every 14 days.
• Until your re-feed days come, stay the course and follow the plan above with NO DEVIATIONS. After your 13 days in a row of dietary discipline, you'll have earned your re-feed.
• On the 14th day, wake up like it's Christmas morning. And on that day, eat the stuff that you wouldn't normally eat and certainly couldn't eat while on your normal Get Shredded Diet days.
• Now, hold up, killer. This isn't a license to go hog-wild. In fact, to keep things in check, here's a simple rule of thumb. Don't go too far over 3-3.5x your Get Shredded Diet daily guideline. Therefore if you're eating 1000kcal a day, don't go above 3000-3500kcal. If you're eating 2000kcal a day, don't go above 6000-7000kcal.
• Lastly, make sure you train on this day so that all that extra energy will go toward muscle-building and recovery.
