i'll bet almost anything that you don't follow that diet exactly the way you say.......most likely you are eating more or other stuff

swap the mayo for mustard.

Oxandrin: I actually am extremely disciplined with my diet, that is the reason I am asking for help. I figured that my diet is really clean, and I don't cheat at all so there must be a problem with the timing of my protein / carb intake.

High-Jacked, read my last post. See if that will work for you. Timing is everything. If your not using any anabolics to help prevent against muscle loss, then up your carbs slightly and add a little more fat into your diet then what I had re-written for you.

TheeGame2544: Thanks for taking the time man, I agree with changes that you made in my plan. The only thing I might change is substituting tuna for salmon in meal 2, this way I get more EFA's and less mercury which tuna is high in.

The only other thing is, I normally train around 6-7 pm, when I have my post workout meal, would it be better to add in say 1 cup of brown rice to replenish glycogen stores?

Other than that, it looks good. I have already noticed a difference over the last 4 days or so but eating no more than 30 grams of protein per meal. That extra protein doesn't seem to do much for me and only seems to add extra bf. The timing and amount of protein per meal I feel was my main hang-up. ALso I cut out the wheat bread lately, I am very responsive to carbs, they tend to give me sub-Q water retention immediately after eating them, UNLESS they are Oats, Yams, or Brown rice.

TheeGame2544: Thanks for taking the time man, I agree with changes that you made in my plan. I might substitute tuna for chicken or beef in meal 2, only because I like to eat no more than 1 can of tuna per day because of the high mercury content. The only other thing is, I normally train around 6-7 pm, when I have my post workout meal, would it be better to add in say 1 cup of brown rice to replenish glycogen stores? Would dextrose be a better choice than brown rice or wheat pasta?

I know I could limit my carb intake a bit more and shed more bf, but I will wait till march to do, in the mean time my diet should help me slowly gain muscle while maintaining or slowly losing bf.

Chicken or beef would be a fine substitute. As for the Post workout meal, I usually train around 6 or 7 pm as well. A protein shake with 50 grams of dextrose mixed in water would be perfect. Dextrose will be absorbed very quickly with the protein post workout.

blood tests... they both have similarities in them so testing would the only way to distinguish
