Hi Than!
Yes I have received your PM
thanks. I was busy this weekend w/ Canadian Thanksgiving, but now its back to the ol' routine.
I've been having a hard time getting those macro's to match exactly. Im always falling short on something, or coming out too much with something else... thats why I requested a specific diet, heres an example of what Ive been dealing with ( trying to get it down as close as possible & not having much luck..
)Meal 1- 1/2 cup oatmeal with 1/2 cup skim milk & dried fruit
Fat:1.3 Carb: 25.3 Protien:7.3
Meal 2- 27g. Protien Shake
Fat: 0.1 Carb:0.2 Protien: 27
Meal 3- Chicken Salad 2 cups w/ Light Dressing 1tbsp
Fat: 3.9 Carb:6.7 Protien:19.1
Meal 4- Tuna & 3 Rice Cakes
Fat:1.8 Carb: 6.7 Protien:41.4
Meal 5- P.w.o ( I have 27g protien here & 1 tsp. glutamine)
Meal 6- 4 egg whites w/ 1 cup broccoli
Fat: 0.5 Carbs:6.8 Protien: 16.8
TOTAL: FAT: 7.7 Carb: 46.1 Protien: 125.2

Hey LG!
You don't have to be exact, but yes, the carbs and fat are way too low.
Protein is the hardest to keep in check, but with carbs you can add a sweet potato without adding much protein and fat you can have almonds or add an extra tbs of flaxeed oil to your salad or shake.
Anyway, I'll send you a diet anyway. If you have my email just hit reply and send in case I cant find yours.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving!!

Oh how freakin' sweet it is to have women like you all to help me out!
I can't even imagine what I was thinking 3 years ago when I was eating MCDick's on a weekly basis &
justifying it with my 40 min. relcine bike cardio..ahahaha Things have really turned around.
I do wish I could run another cycle of var, I am having a bit of a struggle with the workload at the gym- thats a huge part of why I want to get my diet bang on...

We all learn at one point or another. You, on the other hand are learning at 20 yo, how awesome is that!
Good Point Than- my chances of looking like YOU when Im your age are improving each passing day I stay consistant & driven
Also, when is prime to to cosume BCAA's? I read that DURING one's workout is ideal..
And you will!
The BCAA I take is 2 scoops for 1 serving, so I take 1 scoop with Super Pump 250, 30 minutes before training and 1 scoop with Size On during training. Protein powder with glutamine(among other things) when I get home from training.

It might takes you a couple of weeks for your body to assimilate to it. So, if you don't see any changes in a week, don't panic. If you have any questions, let me know.
