    New Diet- What do you think?

    Here is my new diet for the past week, tell me what you think. I'm trying to cut around the middle but build and bulk up muscle more.

    Meal 1 preworkout- 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal with tablespoon heavy whipping cream and 1 cup of berries, 30g GNC Whey Protein

    Meal 2 postworkout- 40g GNC Whey protein w/ one tablespoon heavy whipping cream, 1 apple, 1/2 cup oatmeal mixed in

    Meal 3- 6 oz. grilled Chicken breast, 1 cup brown rice, salad w/ broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, FF Cheese (checked nutrition, no sugar), cucumbers, mushrooms and vinegar and olive oil dressing.

    Meal 4- Tuna salad with above salad ingredients mixed in, 1 cup brown rice

    Meal 5- 8 oz. Grilled Chicken breast, 1 cup brown rice, salad as mentioned above.

    Meal 6- Tuna salad (same as above), Nectarine

    Meal 7- 40g. GNC PM Protein w/ 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon natural Peanut Butter.

    I've been doing this for a week, eating every 3 hours. I'm putting on weight still though I think. Any suggestions?

    looks good...what are your macros and current weight?

    I'm putting on weight still though I think.
    hmm well let's see you have:
    1.5 cups oatmeal
    3 cups brown rice

    that's over 1,000kcals and 209 carbs just for those two items alone....that is going to make just about anybody bulk...
    "To be a cyclist is to be a student of pain....at cycling's core lies pain, hard and bitter as the pit inside a juicy peach. It doesn't matter if you're sprinting for an Olympic medal, a town sign, a trailhead, or the rest stop with the homemade brownies. If you never confront pain, you're missing the essence of the sport. Without pain, there's no adversity. Without adversity, no challenge. Without challenge, no improvement. No improvement, no sense of accomplishment and no deep-down joy. Might as well be playing Tiddly-Winks."

    My bad, thought for some reason I saw 5. But does 3 cups of rice and 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal equal 1,000 kcarb and over 200 carbs? How do you figure kcarbs?

    What was the original plan that was given to you as far as macros and I can see where you things need to be adjusted.

    rock...

    hmm I posted 1000 kCALS and 200 carbs. Got it from www.fitday.com based on the oatmeal and brown rice I eat.

    Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
    serving size = 1/2 cup (dry)
    150kcals 3g fat 27g carbs 5g protien

    Mahatma brown rice
    serving size = 3/4 cup (cooked)
    150kcals 1g fat 32g carbs 3g protien

    ------

    If at 2400 kcals daily you are still gaining too much than cut the calories down a bit.

    what are your current macros? also how much did you gain this week on the new diet? Jodi can def. help you tweak the plan

    ------

    if you need help with macros:

    Protien:
    take total grams for the day (example 260g) and multiple that by 4 than divide the result by your total calories (example 2400 kcals) eaten that day.

    260g protein for the day * 4 = 1040 / 2400 (totals kcals) = 0.44 (rounded up) so 44% PRO

    Fat:
    take total grams of fat for the day (example 55g) and multiple by 9 than divide by total calories (example 2400 kcals) for the day.

    55g fat * 9 = 495 / 2400 (daily kcals) = 0.21 (rounded up) or 21% FAT

    Carbs:
    total grams of carbs (example 240g) and multiple by 4 than divide the result by total cals (example 2400 kcals).

    240g carbs * 4 = 960 / 2400 (kcals) = 0.40 or 40% CARBS

    Jodi, here is what Dymas had written:

    At 181 your rough estimates are:
    181 x 12 = cutting diet
    181 x 15 = maintenacne
    181 x 16-18 = bulking

    Let's try a 40/40/20 split, later on you can try switching over to more protien and cutting down the carbs a bit if you still aren't trimming down enough- something like 50/30/20

    so let's say we shoot for 2300-2400 kcals. Now given a 40/40/20 you should be looking at:
    240 grams of PRO (1.3 x bw a tad low )
    240 grams of CARBS
    53 grams of FAT

    Maybe kill a few grams of carbs and replace with PRO instead. FYI pro has 4 kcal per gram, carbs are 4 kcals per gram, and fat is 9 kcal per gram.


    Dymas, I'll work on that. It'll take a day or two. I've maybe gained 1 pound if that, but I feel like I'm bigger or softer in the waist area.
