Starting off right

[Behemoth]

I had recieved advice in the past to take the fat off first then go on your first cycle. I did not heed the warnings. I weighed 262 at the time...I shot up to 307...I have never been anywhere near 260 again.

My body fat percentage is 24%. I'm 36.

I weigh 291. I'm 6 foot 2 inches.

The diet is no where near this strict now. But this is what I was thinking...

Meal 1- Protein Powder with water, 1.5 cups of oats, Splenda
Meal 2-Chicken Breast, Sweet Potato
Meal 3-Chicken Breast, Green Beans
Meal 4-Protein Powder with water
Meal 5-Chicken Breast, Green Beans
Meal 6-Protein Bar

I am currently walking about 3 miles a day. In the last two weeks I have shed 10 lbs with no real strength loss.

I am not using any fat burners or anything at this juncture.

I've had amazing success loosing water and fat with a diet of eating only:
- lean animal flesh
- colorful veggies
- real eggs
- real yogart
- limited hard cheese
- decafs and water

All simple sugars, including flours, are avoided.

Energy goes up, water pours out, and fat burns off, especially in the face and waistline.

The only problem is .... It is boring.

bump...just looking for some input...thanks for the help.

Here is what I had in mind. The calories seem a little low. After using one of the calculators for fat loss...it said my calorie intake should be around 3000...the calorie intake that I have come up with is 1963. Let me know what I should switch up or if I am totally off base.

I think for a guy of your size you will have to eat more cals than that to keep your muscle.

1.5 grams of protein per pound. And keep carbs very low. Adding in a high once a week. Simple formula which works wonders.

Thanks for the help. Any other input is welcome.

What changes do I need to make?

366.5 is the recommended grams of protein. Figurin at 1.5g per pound of body weight. With my plan I am only getting 247.2 g of protein.

What can you add to your diet to create a high day? Do you still eat clean on your high day?

A couple of guys at my gym that have won their divisions in the Arkansas show, said that you have to eat the same things at the same times every day. He is also the one that took my skim milk away.

Just looking for more input.

Just make sure you stay away from the cheeseburgers and hotdogs.
