I never knew how hard it was to get calories in.

[cwc73]

well, I started a diet log. It is a pretty crude excel spread sheet, but it gets the job done for now. Anyway, I thought I was doing really good today. Everything was super clean. Now, as the day is closing, I have used the sum function to find that I am at 1975 calories. Here is the breakdown:
190 Carbs
182.5 Proteins
53.7 fat
Totaling 1975 kilocalories. This sucks man. I never have tracked my diet, but if this is my usual diet (which is not) and I still store fat, I am going to have a pretty fat life ahead of me. Heck, I honestly thought I ate about 2500 kcals today. I guess I was dead wrong. I'm going to weight to about 10pm and slug some protien and 2%milk for some bedtime loving.

So what do you guys think about all of this?

What's your height/weight?

 

[cwc73]

I'm 5'10 I weigh just under 170. I just got back on v-12 today so I will probably weigh in at 174 by sometime next week.

Then you've a problem dude

Your metabolism is way too slow

At 170, you should lose weight at "only" 2000 cal/day (I assume that you're lifting from time to time)

Did you use T3 or other supplement that could have screwed your thyroid?

 

[cwc73]

Nope. I'm clean. I'm actually waiting to next summer before I think about juicing. I must say this though. Just because I pulled this in today, it can't be considered my regular diet. I mean, I am just starting this crituqe. When I eat normally, which is still probably somewhere around 2000-2200, I am fairly lean. It is just lately I have been indulging. Also, I do drink on the weekends. I will keep track of things for about a week, and see what happens. I honestly think I will be cutting if I keep this strict of a diet, but I want to actually be just over maintenance by 100-200 calories right now.

How does my breakdown look? I mean the carbs : protien : fats.

This is what I did tonight.
Here is the breakdown for the end of the day

Before my last protien shake:
190 carbs, 182.5 protien, and 53.7. which equaled: 1975 kcals

I needed some more calories so I decided to take a protien shake down which would absorb slowly. I had two options. I could either drink it with milk which would up the carbs, or I could take it with flax oil which would give me some more fats. I went with the flax oil because I didn't want the carbs to outweigh the protien. the breakdown of the shake is this:
3 carbs, 23 g pro, and 15 g flax oil fats. This adds in to a total of...

193.5 carbs, 205.5 pro, and 69 fats. which equals 2214 calories.
Does this seem like a good starting point for me? Are the ratios right? Was it better to choose the flax, or should I have gone with the milk?

 

[horse52]

Definately the flax... milk before bed is a sure way to put on fat due to the high GI carbs.

 

[cwc73]

I assumed the flax would be best. I knew the whole high gi carbs before bed thing was bad, but I wasn't sure about fat before bed. So, it's cool?

What's ur BF %?

 

[cwc73]

I don't know for sure. Less than 16, probably 14 at the moment. Sometimes as low as 12 i suspose.
