and if so how's it working for you? 
Anyone on an Isocaloric diet
- Thread starter Babyfaced Assassin
- Start date
I was. I was on it for about 3 weeks before I felt like I was getting too skinny and needed to start bulking again. I lost all the fat I gained in 2 and a half months of bulking, and quite a bit more. I loved it.. it wasn't too hard, and I once I got used to it I wasn't even very hungry. The best part about it is that I still made gains (albeit minimal) while on it. Also, I didn't notice any atrophy on my muscle size.
Good luck!

Divide daily calories from what you eat into 33%/33%/33%?

yeah......
theoretically that is what one is supposed to do.
Very dumb in it's creation.
The concept is good, but you don't eat a percentage of those 33%'s of each macro at EACH MEAL. Go ahead and combine fats and carbs in a meal, even if you are under your daily caloric intake for the day at the end of the day, your body doesn't know that, and will store fat from those meals containing fats/carbs. Someone said pizza would fit on an isocaloric diet, but to just "drink some protein with it". Yeah, eat pizza and whey protein 6 times a day and tell me if you don't gain mad weight. You can even be under your daily total, but that won't matter. As long as you are storing fat at damn near each meal, what does it matter how many calories you think you are under maintenance? Anything you are losing, if it's not muscle, will be put right back on.
Know where, when, why, how much of each macronutrient to eat at each meal you consume. Ultimately, THAT is what shapes you. Make in continual and you'll see your progress weekly.

SC, will you explain further? I wasn't aware of this timed separation of fats and carbs on this diet. I am using one, and was wondering how should I go about doing it the right way? So far I've been eating the 33% of each in each meal. Thanks alot!

I would take into account carb and fat seperation.
right now my first two meals have carbs as does my post workout shake and my last two meals are low carb but with fat (mostly from efas)

I was on it, and got good results, but for me I always end up taking all my carbs in for the first 1/2 of the day and eating nothing but fats and protein for the rest of the day. This ends up being more like 20/40/40 but has killed my hunger, and yeilds slightly more fat loss for me.
