Contest vs. off-season

[JKurz1]

My brother <------------------ is just gearing up for a local (very small) show. He didn't ask me to assist, as he has some guru helping him, but I was wondering...........He does cardio 1st thing, then has a meal of 3/4 cup steel cut, 1/2 grapfruit and 1.5 scoops of protein about an hour later............pretty decent. Next, he has a myoplex w/ 1tb of flax about 2 hours later. Then his 3rd meal is 1/2 cup of brown rice and 6oz of chicken w/ sopme greens.....

My thoughts were to remove the myoplex, and eat 2 pieces of whole wheat, low carb bread....one half with maybe a tb of anpb, the other with a very lean ostrich, tuna, bison patty.........Which do you think would not only yield better results (muscle repair wise) but keep in the leanest while adding as much lean mass as possible?


Would your thoughts change if he were bulking? K for yo help...........

another thought was another 1/2 cup of oats and some protein, but he says he gets to bloated...........again, thanks.

I would say eat food instead of powder or bars. It's more satisfying and it will probably help keep your metabolism going better. At the same time, it looks like he knows what he is doing, judging from your avatar.

What would you suggest food wise? You do bread, or no?

 

[onerepmaximum]

I prefer tortillas usually, a little few calories if you get the right ones. I have nothing against bread though, if it fits into the calorie window he is shooting for.

Hard to make a ANPB and sugar free jelly tortilla though!

you eat em cold, or nuked?

I usually put a can of tuna or slice chicken breast on a tortilla and nuke it and add some salsa. It's a good change of pace. You can put ground turkey breast or whatever you like pretty much.

I got a slew of the low carb wraps.....pretty decent.........try it with chx breast, brown rice and melted cheese...........

Sounds like a plan. Imagination is a key when on a diet. You have to be able to trick yourself.

I agree. And absolutely true.
