Hey guys... I asked this on the Tmag forums and didn't get too much feedback...
The article in question is: http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=811783
I am a 31 year old 170lbs male @ 9%... My goals are to stay lean, and add mass without too much fat... I do fitness modeling, and have to be in shape year 'round... ( I know.. I'm too little... I gotta gain mass... and all that... I've heard it all before... lol)
I'm kind of a numbers junkie, and was hoping to get a little advice here:
Based on the carb cycling formula... These are my 'Moderate day' numbers:
Gaining:
Protein(g) Carbs(g) Fat(g)
254 254 158
Losing:
Protein(g) Carbs(g) Fat(g)
254 212 49
Does this seem right? The fat seems kinda high on the gaining days..
Also.. it said:
The ideal time to train is around 10:00am. This gives us the following eating schedule:
Meal 1 (upon waking up): Carbs + protein meal
Meal 2 (post-workout, around 11:00): Carbs + protein recovery drink (Surge)
Meal 3 (12:30): Carbs + protein meal
Meal 4 (15:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies
Meal 5 (18:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies
Meal 6 (21:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies
Obviously, not everybody can train at this time. For those who have to train in the evening (around 5:00 or 6:00pm), the following schedule is appropriate:
Meal 1 (upon waking up): Carbs + protein meal
Meal 2 (10:00) Carbs, protein, and green veggies
Meal 3 (12:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies
Meal 4 (15:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies
Meal 5 (Post-workout, around 18:00): Protein and carb drink
Meal 6 (21:00): Carbs + protein meal
Finally, those who have to train in the morning (around 8:00am) should use the following schedule:
Meal 1 (upon waking up): Carbs + protein meal drink
Meal 2 (post-workout, around 9:00): Carbs + protein recovery drink (Surge)
Meal 3 (12:30): Carbs + protein meal
Meal 4 (15:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies
Meal 5 (18:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies
Meal 6 (21:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies
Now based on that... they ALL look like 3 protein/fat meals and 3 Protein/Carb meals... EXCEPT if you train in the evening... in THIS case... there are 4 and 2 (in favor of carb days...) How would you arrange the carb intake around 4 x a day?
Thanks...
