Hi,
I'm new to this board. I'm 5'8", 19 yrs old. I've been skinny for a while, not much muscle and not much fat. This summer, I decided to bulk up. I eat about 3200 calories a day and about 220 g protein, and I've seen some very good gains. However, Ramadan is fast approaching, which means I won't be able to eat from 6 AM to 6 PM for an entire month. I'm sure I'll have some good bulk by then, and I don't want to lose it. Since I won't be able to eat as much, I figured I'd take opportunity to just cut some bodyfat (i'm prolly at 11% now) without losing muscle. Here's the plan:
EARLY breakfast: cup of skim milk, i cup of boiled chicken breast,cracked wheat, 25 g of isopure , an egg, and a banana.
Then, I can't eat until 6 PM, when I'll eat:
25 g Isopure, ground beef - 3 oz about, an orange.
for dinner (hour or two later) -
6oz pasta (that's 630 calories!!), ground beef - 3oz, and some legumes,
before going to sleep, i'll drink 25 g isopure.
i decided to work out 3 times a day, lower the time i spend in the gym per visit (45 min maybe) and stick to very low weights because I've heard of serious injuries when people try to lift during fasting (can't drink water or eat, remember).
also, I figure on the other days, I'd do like 20-25 minutes of cardio three times and the seventh day i'd just shoot around.
I figure i'll use up about 2300-2400 calories a day, and my diet plan means i'll be consuming around 2300 calories a day (maybe a little more).
Will this work to maintain my muscle and maybe lose some bodyfat. Actually, the maintaining the muscle is the important part, and I guess the losing bodyfat is just something i'd like to do simply because i know i won't be consuming as many calories so it would be a nice secondary result.
Also, give me some foods i can eat so my body won't eat my muscles during the midday when i can't eat
thank you very much
