Kabeetz: Cut Up or Shut Up [OFFICIAL LOG]

[JKurz1]

I just think you can make better choices since you are cutting and want it to be the most benefitial for you...granola is typically processed, high fat and high sugrar. On whey, why? Why not a whole food? Supplements are just that, and should be used as such. A meal isnt a serving of almonds.....I like p/f/c 24 hour solid nutition. Strawberries at 10pm? I limit all fruit to my first meal, cutting there should be none or very little.....frozen? Does that mean sugar laced? Or did you freeze real strawberries? All protein meals of 10oz turkey, maybe use some almonds here with 5oz of turkey and do it twice.

Cardio only days, if its pm cardio, the oats ned to go...just stick to protein fats and veggies esp at night......

This granola is all natural, don't have the nutrition label but it has 5 real name ingredients, no junk, relatively high in protein, not high in fat. Don't worry!

Frozen strawberries are actual real frozen strawberries, no syrup, no added sugar, half a cup, or 140g, of them is 13g carbs. Real frozen fruits can be found at the supermarket, lots of varieties, very convenient and make a great smoothie and they are included as a simple carb in my post-workout shake in addition to the 25gs from 1/2 a cup oats.

As for the whey point and the almonds as a meal point... Good call there.. I'm on the go and sometimes have to get real convenient so that at least my stomach isn't empty until I get to my next meal. I leave the house 8am every morning and don't get home until my post workout shake, which is like 11:30pm on lifting days, so life's a bitch.

Most of it comes to do with being disciplined enough to pack my meals right the night before instead of being in a rush in the morning. I'll work on that.

In terms of the p/f/c/.. I try and have all my meals, ideally, be only p/f or only p/c.. never really combine all three because I find that leads to real increased fat storage...JPT gave me that tip and it has worked.

Thanks for your input bro, I will definitely tinker.

I'll bet you the granla is either high in fat or high in sugar..........promise.

No need for insulin spike on cardio days......do as you please.

Two super skinny guys at the gym came up to me before I was about to do 280 and kept complimenting me and were like we can't do that much and one of them tried and couldn't get it off the floor and I was like guys.. this isn't a lot of weight. REALLY. And if you can't do it..with a little training of the movement you'll be able to do it soon no problem. LOL anyway it kinda of inflated the ego a notch (as if that was needed!).

My problem is I had so many layers of fat I'm battling.. I want to bulk as soon as possible, DYING TO, but I've still got some fat to peel off. You'll see what I mean when the pics come out. It's not easy transforming your body from a lazy fat ass to a healthy athletic person, but it sure is worth it. I feel great.
