Size Strength & Awesomeness

[Buildingup24]

Y'all know I'm very open in my log... I have decided to do a cycle in the near future.

I WILL be taking all necessary precautions and I WILL be posting about it. I will also abide by forum rules. I have discussed it with someone who is knowledgable on the subject and has personal experience. I trust this person.
I will layout my diet, my cycle, my post cycle, and my training. I will look for my friends on here to critique all. I will lay out my training and diet first sometime tomorrow.

You want me to write you up a meal plan ? On inspection of the above, I would do the following.

1. The food that is responsible for one adding weight is potatoes. I would add that first.
2. Eat more fruit besides bananas. I usually do dried fruit by the pound at the grocery store. Grapes , blueberries , strawberries, blackberries can easily be washed off and eaten as snacks. Honeydew, cantelope and pineapples can be cut and stored in the fridge.
3. Eat more vegetables besides greens and carrots. Celery , Cabbage , bok choy, bean sprouts squash , avocado , broccoli, eggplant , mushrooms, unions (sauteed on steak or liver is good), basil and cilantro as seasonings etc
4. Even though Olive oil is high in Omega 3's it contains no EPA or DHA. Try adding fish or seafood if you're not allergic.
5. The only grain in the above is rice... Are you gluten intolerant? I would try adding some whole grains which will add fiber to the diet. Some gluten free grains are Corn, Buckwheat, quinoa, Sorghum, millet and yes rice.
6. Do you have tree nut allergies? Macadamias , cashews , walnuts , pecans, hazelnuts , Brazil nuts etc can add protein and fats to the diet.
6b. I was going to add peanuts to the above but peanuts are actually considered a legume like a soybean.

Some quick idea here

I chose peanuts cuz they're cheapest- I didn't know the legume fact tho so thanks for that!

I'm still in college so even though I make money, I have to make trade offs. I take in fish oil, and I go out to dinner with my gf once a week n usually eat seafood... I don't like eating too much fruit- I stick to blueberries n bananas (for shakes).

I chose rice because I am Indian and its sort of just my thing- I enjoy cooking n rice is most versatile and quick.
The veggies u listed are greens- when I said "greens" I meant a variety, I eat kale broccoli n spinach usually with tomatoes, red onions n carrots.

Lastly- there isn't much of a difference between potatoes n rice. It's carbs and yeah I saw your note on seasoning, if u look through my log, I enjoy cooking so Im good on that front but thank you for the suggestion.

Update on my cut- I'm 3 weeks in. I am starting to see my bottom 2 abs and my vascularity is getting insane. I even get some leg veins!
I had a cheat window yesterday- basically ate ice cream, steak and pasta salad from 3-9pm. Felt great.
Back on diet today- I think 3 more weeks and I'm done. I don't plan on being NFC shredded (that dude crazy cut)
