Well, I'm 9 days out. I've got 2 shows in 3 weeks - maybe even 3 in a row - we'll talk about that later. As I sit here in my conference period - I should be doing school work but I'm obsessing about food - I'm thinking of all the good food I want to eat after my show. That said, I would also like to stay leaner this off season. However, I KNOW that with my body type I have to put some fat on to add muscle. How am I gonig to do this? Well I'm going to start an off season food journal right here. Im a believer that carbs are important - but I'm also a believer that you do'nt need TOO many carbs. I'm keeping the carbs relatively low and keeping my EFA's on the mod to high end. Protein of course high as I'm just a big MEAT eater! I'm also a believer in enjoying 1-2 or 3 meals per week so I'll schedule "cheat" meals each week. I'm also going to try to keep my wife sane so some of my weekly food choices will be variations of what I would normally eat. For instance, I may have taco's one night. Low calorie taco seasoning, 93% lean beef, 2% or fat free cheese, 100% whole wheat low carb tortillas. Hey, that's a damn good bodybuilding meal right there. Things like that. Here's what I"m thinking of as far as macros go:
Training Days:
Carbs - 1.25 X body weight
Protein - 1.5 X body weight
EFA's - 28 per day
Off Days
Carbs - .75 X body weight
Protein - 2 X body weight
EFA's - 35 per day
Just a rough estimate. Now, I'm also going to incorporate a calorie/carb cycle. For instance, if I know I'm going to be eating something like wings on Sunday watchin ga football game, I will lower my carb and fat intake on the 2 days previous to that so that I am in a negative calorie state in order to avoid putting on too much fat form my Cheat meal/day.
