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.
 
Looks like a decent diet. I might use most of it for mine as well except i weigh in at 165lbs with about 15% fat i guess.

Why would you want to double your intake? By doing that your gonna turn your diet/ lbm plan into a bulking diet..

As long as I'm eating this clean I will only put on lean mass. Right now I'm only around 2500 calories so I'm not taking too much in at the moment.

I think the most important thing is the combination of protein, fat, and carbs in each meal.
 
Re: My Diet Journal: The Road to Increased LBM and Decreased Bodyfat Begins TODAY!!!

Your last comment is not true. Even with a clean diet you will add fat. Any caloric excess fo calories will be stored as fat. If you workout some of this will be used to build muscle, but theres no way getting around some fat gain. Also your not gonna gain much muscle if your eating maitenance calories and doing lots of cardio. The only exception is if your on some strong AAS's like tren.

With the cardio I'm doing I can pretty much guarantee that I will not gain fat especially if I'm eating every three hours thus keeping my blood sugar levels stable. We shall see though, this is the whole point of the journal.
 
what is the deal with the margarine? that is pure Hidrogenated oils Bro, ditch that shit. There are plenty of good fats around to settle for that... Hell, even real butter with its crapload of saturated fats is better than Hidrogenated (hens Trans) fats.

Ya your probably right. I took it out. You think the new meal plan looks better now?
 
gain 11 pounds of LBM and lose 13 pounds of fat? wheew. those are some pretty high goals, and in 3-4 months, virtually impossible. I'm not sure where you got the nutritional info for some of your foods (i.e. 6 egg whites 45g protein? more like 18) but go for it my man. good luck.

Ok I decided to cut back a tiny bit on the brown rice at my 1 and 8 pm meals so here is the new plan:

7:15
10 egg whites
1 oz of oatmeal with vanilla and equal
1/2 tsp of natural peanut buter

10:00
7 oz of 99% FF ground Turkey
1/2 cup of cooked brown rice with 1.5 cups broccoli
1/2 tsp of olive oil

1:00
7 oz of red meat or chicken
3/4 cup of brown rice

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

8:00
7 oz pork loin trimmed
3/4 cup brown rice
1.5 cups mixed veggies

10:30-11:00
2 scoop of Micellar Casein Protein
4 oz of skim milk
1.5 oz banana
1/2 TSP of Natural Peanut butter
 
I notice that most use ground turkey but all I got to say is ground turkey taste like shit. Is there a reason you can not use 99%ff ground beef?
 
I've never seen 99% fat free ground beef, the lowest i've seen is 96 or 97. I think the reason is that it's lower cal., and you get more protein and less fat.

It doesn't taste like shit if you mix it with ketchup and brown rice all together.

It's not Ground beef I'm eating, It's ground TURKEY. Publix always has 99% fat free ground turkey.

I didn't say you were, Perp69 asked how come everyone eats ground turkey and not 99% ground beef.
Oh my bad. I think they do have 99% ground beef. It's by a company called Maverick I believe.
