Take a look at my diet/cardio routine. Need advice...

[Snarling Force]

Hi all...

I'm trying to cut down and lose fat. I'm at about 15% currently and weigh 210, 6'2". If you could just take a second and look over what I'm doing here and tell me what I'm doing wrong or right, avice, anything, I'd be forever grateful. K to all who respond.

I'm running 100mg Test Prop ED for 8 Weeks. Nothing more.
I have Tren Ace to run but haven't yet. Should I? I've run it in the past and it KILLS my appetite but maybe that is good for what I'm trying to do? I've also got T-Rex to throw into the mix but I'm hesitant because although I love it, it keeps me up at night. So here is where I really need some advice. I know there are right and wrong times to eat things, and certain things to eat at certain times, etc... This is where I'm kind of lost. Here is what I'm doing now.

Here is my diet and cardio routine:

This is Monday through Friday, 5 days of the week, resting on Sat, Sun.

6:30am - 6 eggwhites, 1 piece of whole wheat bread thrown in.

9:00am - Whole wheat pasta mixed with turkey breast.

10:00am - Head to the gym, do weights for 30 minutes.
10:30am - Begin cardio for 20-30 minutes

11:00am - PWO Shake consisting of 44g Whey Protein

11:30am - Chicken breast and rice

2:00pm - Same as 9, more pasta and turkey breast.

5:00pm - Large pile of ground turkey breast on a whole wheat bun.

7:00pm - Dinner which ranges from either chicken breast for salmon
along with a vegtable say broccoli, and usually rice.

9:30pm - Eat a decent amount of nonfat cottage cheese and go to bed.

Wake up and repeat.

For all I know, I could be doing everything wrong. I'm still in week 1 of my 8 week cycle so anything I need to do I'll do it. If doing cardio after workout is ok, then should I be drinking a PWO shake after weights and before cardio or is it ok to keep doing what I'm doing and drink the shake after being done everything? Thanks all...

To me it looks like a maintenace/light bulk diet.

"large pile of ground turkey" ect..

The choosen foods look pretty good... but without amounts we can't really say. Also, it looks like a ton of carbs... but who knows what the amounts are?

As long as you're eating under your BMR you'll loose weight (I'm sure u know).

I can't really comment on the Tren because I've yet to broaden my knowlege to that compound.

When I'm cutting BF I do my cardio in the morning on an empty stomach so my body is forced to burn bf for fuel. By the time you start yours you've already eaten two meals, that could be slowing things down. Especialy the bread and pasta.

Thanks for the info k to you both!

i'd seriously reccomend adding some fats to that diet, and get rid of some of the carbs...

go for a 15/45/40 ratio... i don't see ANY fat in your diet...

maybe throw some olive oil in with your eggs in the morning, but to do that, you gotta get rid of the bread... try and stay away from fats and carbs mixed together...

i'd also say to cut out the rice... replace it with some all natural peanut butter, string cheese, or walnuts / almonds...

 

[hugenasser]

I agree, and some fat.
For the ratio i will say 40/40/20 (C/P/F).
And add some veggies too.
The good think I see is that you eat less carbs after 2:00 pm
Can you estimate your daily calorie intake ?

 

[pintoca]

I see the following:

1. too many carbs right before the cardio: You can either do cardio without food in the morning or late in the evenings, after you have stopped having carbs for the whole afternoon

2. Too little cardio: 20-30 mins? try upping the duration to 45 mins and increasing the intensity to 75-80% MHR

3. need to know exactly what you are eating. How many cals/fat/prot/carbs is all that you are eating? you don't know? Big mistake, cutting is a numbers game bro, so come back with numbers so we can fine tune this

 

[Snarling Force]

Thanks for all the info everyone! Pintoca you are right. I'm going to gather up everything I eat and figure out all the totals and report back. I should have done that to begin with. Thanks again!

Have you thought about adding Winnie for the last 6 weeks of your cycle?

I would also suggest addding cardio in the am before eating and 15 minutes more before lifting as a warm up.

Maybe add another 1 - 2 protein shakes per day with some fats in them (Muscle Milk)

 

[jmt24]

first off, have you started the cycle yet?? i like the 50protein/20carb/30fat breakdown myself. i think you should go buy a scale and start weighing out your food. id drop the break in the am and eat 1/2 cup of oatmeal and def add some fat. use some olive oil, natty pb, flax oil. pwo add some dextrose and dont eat right before the gym bc your blood will go to your stomach to digest the food instead of to your muscles. id def do am cardio on an empty stomach. add some natty pb before bed which the cottage cheese.
