POST your DIET..........

[Luciano_]

nanana, I didn't critique your English dude !!! I just said I use not to understand what you say !!
For example "I'm talking above you head", what the hell is that? An expression, I believe ... I mean, I can translate every single word, but it doesn't make sense to me !!

Green Karma man, don't put me in a position where I'll have to punch your tiny abbbs !

Many people come on here asking for eccommendations pn what they should eat vs. there current goal, lifestyle, etc. I thought it might be a good idea if we could start a thread with a variety of different diets, along with your current stats and goals for the future. Also could be an opportune time to CONSTRUCTIVELY critisize what other bros are chowing down on......feel free to rip mine (if you so chose):

6'2....190....aprrox: 9%bf

Goal - 6'3...200....approx. 10% = Sept. 1

5:00 - WAKE

530 - 35 min treadmill

630 - 3/4 cup steel cut (dry) , 1.5 scoops isoloate, 1/2 grapfruite, 500mg vit c, multi vit.

9:15 - Myoplex Delux (no malt.) 1 cup low-carb skim, 1tb flax, 3-4 splenda

noon - 6-7oz meat source, 1/2 cup brown rice, mixed veggies, large salad, low-carb wrap

2:30 - Tuna pack. coffee, 1/2 low carb protein bar

4:30 - TRAIN

6:00 - 2 scoops whey, malt, glut, creat. - medium salad, veggies, etc.

9:00 - 2 scoops casein, 1 cup low carb skim, 3-4 serv. peanuts, veggies, etc.

9:30 - BED

Well, recently I've been feeling like shit in the AM and I've narrowed it down to the myoplex mid-am.........maltr. is a shitty carb and giving me the shakes...so, I've revamped it a tad -

I've nixed it and added in it's place 1 piece of whole wheat low carb bread with ANPB and 1 pieces with as much tuna as it will hold..........coffee with low carb milk


I've removed the tuna PW and added cottage cheese and maybe some sugar-free jello for taste........theory is I want a slow release protein before I train to keep the nutirents flowing and some quick afterwards............

I just found some of the good ol Phosphagain II that was discontinued (for reasons beyond me) and am using it as my PW shake...........goals is slow, lean mass.........I want to add fruit, but #1 I'm nervous as many say it has no bb benefits............thoughts?

"I've nixed it and added in it's place 1 piece of whole wheat low carb bread with ANPB and 1 pieces with as much tuna as it will hold..........coffee with low carb milk"

what happened Kurz? I coulda swore i read in a previous post of yours that you hadnt eaten bread in...years? That and how the hell do you eat steel cut oats dry....god i practically kill myself trying to swallow those things. I probably get more of a workout forcing myself to chew and swallow those than i do running every day.

 

[JKurz1]

lol.........first off, I dont eat steel cut DRY! That is the DRY measure.........as you know, they expand when cooked........

As for the bread, trust me, I did a ton of research......I found a bread with 0 sugar, to HGFS, no oils, nada....just a low carb product, high fiber, and 100% stone ground whole wheat bread.........

jkurz1,
that is one hell of a strict diet and schedule. Up at 5 and in bed before 10 is rather rough.
When i get some extra time today i will read everything in the post and see if i can steal any pointers to help me cut weight and still maintain my strength and muscle mass. My guess is that my body fat is 18-20%, i.e. too damn much.

Strictness is something I've never had a problem with.....yest. was my b-day...I had a sliver and I mean sliver of cake, and I was actually sick to my stomach for over 24 hours.......kind of scares me. That's why I toss in a bar or cottage cheese and jello when I can, to keep me somwhat sane.

I can give you the Number one best way to drop at least 5% right now. Do cardio, 1st thing in the am for 30-35 minutes. DOn't eat a damn thing for 1 hour. Then, finish the starch carbs for 2-3pm...........don't pick out late night and don't eat anything with more than 3g of sugar/servivng. Control your portions.

Do it for a month man.........you'll be money.

I sometimes don't even have a taste for carbs. Today I brought chicken, a big salad, a mess of green veggies, and a yam for lunch.........I am in no modd for the yam right now, so I'll prob. just have a low carb wrap.........

ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE JKURZ!

In the past when i did cardio first thing in the morning, it resulted in shitty workouts in the afternoon. I suspect i could get used to it, but it is hard trying to train hard and you feel like shit and are tired from the cardio in the morning.

Today is my first real day trying to cut the shit out of my diet. I went to lunch yesterday, so that completely fucked things up yesterday, but i still only had about 2800 calories.

So far today...
wake-up: 8am
protein bar: 9:45
burger (home cooked) w/slice of low carb fat free bread, whole grain: 11:15
burger #2: 1:30
protein bar: 3:30

Lift at 4.

Yesterday i weighed in at 251.5lbs at 5'10.5". All my extra weight is in my torso, none in my arms and very little in upper legs. My frame doesnt help either...huge barrel chest, hence strong as hell on chest. When i lose any weight, my rib cage sticks out and looks kinda funny, guess i need to get use to that. Maybe if i hit abs some it will even back up.

 

[JKurz1]

Ok...2 more things.............if you don't do cardio, eat a lot sooner than 2 hours after you wake....your body is in starvation mode and will hoard fat........

next, don't cut cals too fast....you'll BINGE HARDCORE!

 

[cwick0]

I probably wont cut to many cals, i will just focus on eliminating the shit from my diet. NO MORE EATING OUT FOR LUNCH WHILE IN THE OFFICE!

I will try to start doing cardio 3-4 days a week, for sure hitting cardio in the morning on the weekends. I have a screwy schedule with school and bouncing.
For cardio i will probably just stick to the treadmill with a slight incline.
THANKS

god glad to hear you dont eat steelies dry, god knows there hard enough to eat as is. Kind of disturbing to hear about the cake thing, but i guess your body gets use to how you eat after three years in a row of it. Im curious why do you say dont eat anything for an hour after you do cardio? I assume doing that gives your muscle more time to burn fat instead of nutrients you would get from eating right away?
