Hey how u guys doin? I'm new to the board, 21 yrs old, 5'7 225 lbs. I have been lifting since i was 15 for wrestling boxing and football. I have made some quality muscle gains since then and am very happy with my progression. However, it wasnt until recently that I really started paying really close attention and got down to the nitty gritty as far as my diet is concerned. I did my homework when I first started as far as the protein intake, eating meals every 2-3 hours and the training routines etc, but due to all these carb cycling for fat loss theories that I've been reading lately, I am confused. I train 4 days a week, Mon-chest, Tues-back, Thurs-shoulders+tris, Fri- legs+bis. Cardio is done 30 mins after my post workout meal, about an hour long, it ranges from low intensity such as simple walking to jogging to cycling and the intense plyometrics. So I feel that my training regimen is pretty up to par, its the diet that Im not so sure about. When it comes to eating, I dont really have a problem with what the food is, as long as its good for me and it will help me attain the physique that I want. Basically, I eat what is good for me, not whats good. I have never touched roids, but have used legal pro hormones such as Prosource's Androtest and Instone's Forza T afterwards and I must say, the way my body responded to those supps is just phenomenal. The only supplements that I am currently using now are whey powder, glucosamine, fish oils and multi. My daily diet is as follows:
Training Day Meals
1) 2 whole eggs, 4 whites, 1/2 cup of oats, green tea, 1 multi, 1 glucosamine, 1 fish oil
2)1 slice whole wheat bread, 1 burger patty, broccoli, lettuce
3)1 tyson grilled chicken breast (130 cals), 1 slice wheat bread, broccoli, 1 fish oil
4)1 can of tuna, 1 slice bread, broccoli, lettuce
5) Pre workout meal-1/2 cup oats, mixed with 1 scoop whey powder
6)Immediately after training, 25 grams of protein with a packet of calorie free sweetner which is made up of dextrose, maltodextrin and aspartame
7)About 20 mins after the shake is consumed, I eat some white rice, 1 can of tuna and some broccoli.
8)Before bed- a cup and a half of fat free milk along with 1 glucosamine and 2 fish oils.
On non training days, the meals are basically the same, with the exception of no starchy carbs. I dont consider veggies as carbs so I'll still eat the broccoli and lettuce. So on Wed, Sat, and Sun, I pretty much eat no carbs.What do guys think of this? My goal is to lean up and pretty much drop fat, even if I lose some mass, it's alright because Im an easy gainer. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
