My Diet Journal: The Road to Increased LBM and Decreased Bodyfat Begins TODAY!!!!

FreakMonster

New member
I will be starting my new diet today and will be very specific at this diet unlike many diets in the past where I would lose to much muscle by cutting out my carbs to much or a bulking diet where I ate tons of calories and gained fat along with it. What this new diet will do is increase LBM and decrease bodyfat at the same time by measuring everything I eat and eating every 3-4 hours.

My starting weight is 189: Goal is 200

Starting body fat is 15%: Goal is 8%

My nutritional ratios with each meal are 40% carbs, 40% protien, 20% fat.

Each meal will roughly have 450 calories with 45 g of protein, 45 g of carbs, and 10 g of fat.

My cardio routine will consist of 4 cardio days, 2 of which will be on a stairmaster for 30-45 min. The other two days will consist of jump rope, or sprints for 30 min.

As far as my work out routine goes I will not get into that because everybody has their own style of lifting weights that works for them.

This will be my diet for the first week. My diet will be tweaked from week to week so I will probably be taking in alot more calories within the following weeks but this is just my start off point so my body will get used to the new diet.

Water intake will be 2 gallons a day with meals spaced out 3 hours apart

7:15
6 egg whites-45 g protein 9 carbs
1 oz of oatmeal with vanilla and equal-30g carbs, 3 g of fat
1/2 tsp of natural peanut buter- 3 g carb, 8 gr fat

10:00
4 oz of 99% FF ground Turkey- 43 g of protein, 1 g of fat
1/2 cup of cooked brown rice with broccoli-22 g carb
1/2 tsp of olive oil-7 g fat

1:00
5 oz of red meat or chicken-40 g of protein, 13 g fat
1 cup of brown rice-28 g carb

4:30-5:00
Repeat meal of 10:00

8:00
6.5 oz pork loin trimmed -38 g protien, 14 g fat
.5 cup brown rice-22 g carb
.75 cup mixed veggies-11 g carb, 2 g fat

10:30-11:00
1 scoop of Micellar Casein Protein-34 g protein
4 oz of skim milk-8 g protein, 16 g carb
1.5 oz banana-20 g carb
1/2 TSP of Natural Peanut butter- 3 g carb, 8 g fat

The reasoning for picking most of these foods are because they are the highest quality foods: least processed and least refined foods you can eat.

Again this meal plan right now will most likely change so you will see this diet kind of evolve.
 
just curious... with the goals your after, how long are you hoping to complete it in by?
 
you knew those ratios are the "Body for Life" ratios, right?

BTW, at what intensity are you planning your cardio?

No, I didn't know those were the body for life ratios.

When doing incline treadmill my heart rate is stays between 140-150. Treadmill days are my sugar burning days. The jump rope/sprint cardio is more intense and targeted for fat burning.

Well hopefully in 3-4 months. We shall see.

ehh, hold on, the more intense the cardio activity, the more you approach your anaerobic level and the most sugar (carbs) is burned by doing it.

I'm not a fan of the old explanation: low intensity cardio burns fat for fuel, but it is a fact.

What matters, though is the total number of cals burnt. So you might actually burn the same amount of cals on 30 mins higher intensity as with 45 min somewhat intensity, where the cals came from will differ.

I am with you on this boat, I always fo cardio at 75-85% (140-160bpm), otherwise I don't feel I am getting a workout.

So in a nutshell, the idea that higer intensity cardio will target fat is not correct. It will burn mostly sugar for fuel, but since what it matters is cals in vs cals out, at the end of the week you might have a good negtive caloric balance that had to be zeroed with fat cals (specially if your diet is carb-restricted)

My bad I was soo tired lat night I got the two mixed up LOL. Your right Fat burning (Aerobic Metabolism) is done by walking on the incline treadmill and Sugar burning (Anaerobic Metabolism) is an example of sprints.

how is it going so far?
So far so good. The hardest part is cooking all this food. It's like a full time job.
I weighed myself today and I've put on 1.5 lbs since I started the new diet.
I'll planning a diet change for saturday. My food intake will probably double.
