School diet;please critique

[15yroldinNY]

Alright, I have been working extensively on trying to produve a diet I like and can work with for cutting. School, I wake up at 5:45, cardio, shower up and eat breakfast at 6:30 AM.
6:30 am: Designer Protein (90 cals)17.5 g's protein, 2 carbs, and 1.5 g's fat. I also throw in a tablespoon of (120 cals)olive oil extra virgin, 11 monosaturated fat grams, 1.5 poly, and 1.5 saturated. I will also eat (82 cals)LOW FAT COTTAGE CHEESE.
Serving will be 4oz, which is 14 grams protein, 3 carbs. 1 fat gram.
Total for serving=282 cals, 32 grams protein
15.5 fat grams, and 5 carbs.
Meal 2 9:30 AM: (work with me, i am in school inbetween class). Protein bar(MUSCLETECH), 35 g's protein, 7fat,9 carbs.
Total for serving: 280 cals, 35 gs protein, 7 fat, 9 carbs
Meal 12:30 AM:240 cals Protein bar,(EAS)20 g's protein, 29g's carb, 5 fat-- This is pretty close to my workout, thats why up in carbs.
Post workout--3:30: Whey Protein optimum nutrition, 35 grams protein, 8 carbs, 5 fat
Also, a cup of powerade. This is HIGH gi and has maltodextrin in it.
Total: 200 cals, 30 carbs, 6 fat.
6:30PM Meal 5: 4 eggs scrambled, whole, cooked.
28 grams protein, 400 calories,
4 carbs, 28 fats.
Meal 6: Protein shake, 34 grams protein, 8 carbs, 5 fats.
Total:1500 cals, 158 proteins, 66.5 fats, 85 carbs.

The macros are 53, 28, 23.

Is this caloric intake too low? Is there some kind of easy food i get bring in too boost everything up in lunch? Will this get me cut? Should I add a tbsp of olive oil in meal 6? Thanks.

Unless you are seriously overweight, then you need to stop worrying about cutting. You need to take full advantage of the fact that your test levels are high, being 15, and hit the weights hard/eat like a horse. I'd love to be able to go back to 15, knowing what I know now.

i agree. when i was 15 (a looong time ago considering im now 16) i spent a whole year trying cutting diets. Like big calvin, i quit the diet before I even tried them (look at his posts and youll know what i mean).
I found out later that I tend to lean out if I bulk clean and add mass. Plus, with the added mass staying lean is so much easier. BTW, if you still want to cut, you've got mail. (not pms)

actually no you don't nevermind.

but you have to do one of two things
1) eliminate the carbs and go ckd style OR
2) up them to 150g. Up them in morning rather than in the afternoon.


Personally I like to separate the fats for the meals where I don't have any carbs in to give me energy and make up for the missing cals. SO instead of bread and olive oil, i will have fried in olive oil chicken breast for example, or some chicken and a tbsp or 2 of peanut butter.

Make sure you are eating AMR-500 and keep in mind that on non training days your caloric intake should be different - so adjust accordingly. It' s probably not an issue of simply taking out your post workout meal - that 's not always how it is.

Post your stats so i can get more info.

The only real food you have in there is 4 oz. of Low fat cottage cheese and 4 whole eggs? I would drop some of the supplements and put in some more food. Lets get real here how long can you last or afford to eat just supplements. You must have some crazy paper route to pay for all these. Eat clean, train hard, and give it time. You will get there, just not overnight!

 

[blood_drinker]

i know the kid lives in 5th ave or something. how can you afford so much? i am now convinced you drug deal. Look at the fancy EAS supps.....

 

[15yroldinNY]

I know blood, right, its called working..The carbs will be upped , because I willdrink more powerade, andI am gonna throw in a PB sandwich in somewhere.

 

[15yroldinNY]

bump. My BMMR is 2770, 500 calories less, is 2270...I can hit that IMO..

 

[blood_drinker]

chill bro. just be sure to remember that in off days your caloric intake should be re-evaluated since you have different activities.

btw, post your stats. Are you at a high %? If you're lower than 13% or so, please, do bulk.

 

[15yroldinNY]

5'8 162, i think 17-18% BF...If I ever got down to 13 id be stoked..

as a sophomore i was chewing on protein bar during chem class and got kicked out a couple of times for lab disorder. i am now a junior and chew protein bars during biology.

 

[15yroldinNY]

Blood, arent you suppose to take chem after Biology? Any of you guys got Arnolds book? Great stuff.

 

[blood_drinker]

we take biology in 9th grade, chemistry in 10th, biology/physics in 11th, and i forget what in 12th.

im currently a junior.

 

[15yroldinNY]

Is any of this bodybuilding stuff in chem like it is in biology?Glutamine,protein etc.

 

[blood_drinker]

My teacher sux so fucking bad i have developed a hatred for chemistry. I really don't care about the molarity of HCl. However, I am interested in bodybuilding and how everything works exactly.
Paul Cribb gives you good info on what to study if you want to pursue such a career.

i am also a junior in school. at about 630 before school i eat 1 1/2 cups of grape nuts and 1 cup of milk, it is a great source of protein, carbs, and fiber. then at 10, my lunchtime at school, i eat 1 green apple, 2 pieces of wheat bread, and a cold chicken breast, then at about 1 i eat a protien bar so when i get out of school i eat again then go lift. it works good for me
