Aside from the last 2 weeks where I've been sick, I've been cutting for the past 3 months. I have gone from 20%+ down to around 13% WITHOUT losing any strength, on the following diet:
6am - whey, oats
6:30am-7:30am - workout
7:30am - whey (pwo)
8am - baked potato, tuna, cottage cheese (pwo)
(note that on non-workout days, my 6am meal is taken at 8am when I wake, and the pwo stuff isn't eaten)
11am - whey, casein, anpb
1pm - 200g chicken, 30g brown rice, lots of veggies
4pm - whey, casein, anpb
7pm - 200g chicken, 30g brown rice, lots of veggies
10pm - whey, casein, flax
bed
That's a total of about 1800 calories on non-workout days and about 2400ish on workout days. I am a raging endo/meso so any more calories than this and I just bloat out and gain fat as well as muscle. This calorie range allows me to lose 1-2lbs a week without dropping strength.
It has been pretty successful for me so far, but progress was slowing and I was starting to get bored of the same stuff every day for 3 months. I have done CKD diets in the past and have ended up fatter(!) and lots weaker at the end, so I'm not after changing to CKD - however, I do intend to reduce carbs considerably and take in some more fats. At weekends I will carb-up - so I guess it's more like the Anabolic Diet. Here is my revised plan:
6am - Low-carb MRP
6:30-7:30 - Workout
7:30 (PWO) - Whey, Dextrose
8:00 - 4 large whole eggs scrambled
(Same as before - on non-workout days, the 6am meal is taken at 8am instead).
11am - Almonds (20-30g?)
1pm - 1/2 lb Burger
4pm - Almonds (20-30g)
7pm - 1/4 lb Burger
10pm - Slow-digesting protein (whey + casein)
Weekends will be carbing up - probably just one day initially, with around 4000-5000 calories from mostly carbs (pasta etc). I will also use this as time to cheat and probably hit up dominos. During the week will be ultra-clean to allow weekends to be a little more... dirty
Thoughts? Suggestions? Is there anything other than almonds that are a good source of fats that I can take at 11 and 4?
