Diet for upcoming cycle.

[75th]

I posted this on the Diet board but folks dont like me over there apparently.

Like an old arthritis stricken woman, my body reacts poorly to carbs. Meaning they put on fat like theres no tomorrow. I tend to eat less than 90g per day, but I have an upcoming cycle of 500mg test e/week. This is what I was thinking:

I work out in the morning first thing, btw. My stats are 5'8, 180, 8%bf:

Meal 1: PWO Shake - 35g protein, 25g carbs

Meal 2: 16oz tuna and wheat pasta: 55g protein, 40g carbs

Meal 3: Roast beef hash with 5 eggs: 45g protein, 40g carbs

Meal 4: Same as above

Snack: Handful of peanuts, 5g protein, 5g carbs

Meal 5: 8oz grass fed ground beef: 45g protein, 5 carbs

Meal 6: Shake: 35g protein, 15g carbs

Total: 265g protein, 130 carbs. I dont care to count calories. I do consume a good amount of fat, but its all from EVOO with the tuna and the fat from the grass fed beef, which is a-o-k in my book.

Per some discussions, I was also thinking of adding a protein shake first thing in the morning prior to workout. Thoughts?

I know some would say to up the carbs, but I would rather gain 8-12 completely lean pounds on this cycle rather than 15-20 "dirty" pounds. If I can drop bf that would be great as well.

Anyone have good experience keeping the carbs in check during a cycle while still gaining some good poundage?

First you have to decide what you want to do: Gain muscle or lose fat? What's your MAIN goal. I know everyone wants to do both at the same time, but you really need to focus on one or the other.

what are those 15g of carbs in your last meal? If anything leave carbs out the last meal.

Gain lean muscle borheim. Im already at 8%. I just dont want to gain an excessive amount of fat. I know some may come with the territory.

Comes with the shake.

what kind of shake is it?? regular whey is like 2-3grams of carbs, the same with casein.

You dont call "dirty" pounds after you leave them. loll

I have some more big blast coming in the mail. It will either be that or my blend of whey/casein mixed with 4oz of oj and 4oz of water. The oj makes it taste less like battery acid.
