Trying a new diet / meal plan - Does this look alright?

ajustana · 10-06-2003, 01:19 PM

I've received some help from the board members already in other posts, but wanted to run this by everyone to see if there are any other suggestions before I start this diet. Please let me know what you think!

I'm 5'10", 177lbs, 20% bf and trying to cut down to 12-15% over the next several weeks.

I'm doing a 4-day split (Legs, Chest, bis & shoulders, tris back & abs). Also doing 3 days of the treadmill (interval training, burning 300 cals each session)

Meal 1 7:00am
1cup dry oats (cooked in water) w/some sweet-n-low
Medium turkey breast with 1-2Tbls reduced fat mayo

Meal 2 10:00am
Double Optimum protein shake
2 Tbls natural peanut butter

Meal 3 12:30pm
Chicken breast (or other lean meat)
Side of green vegetables
1 Cup brown rice
2 Tablespoons olive oil

Meal 4 3:00pm
Large package of Tuna w/mustard
1 Tablespoon Flax seed oil

Meal 5 6:00pm
Lean meat w/veggies or salad
1 cup Cottage cheese

Meal 6 9:00pm
Double Optimum protein shake
2 Tbls natural peanut butter

Looks great but whats olive seed oil?

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 01:25 PM

Actually one comment. I would move your cottage cheese to your last meal and add another serving of veggies.

ajustana · 10-06-2003, 01:25 PM

Whoops....I just edited it. It was supposed to be "olive oil".

Why the last?

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 02:28 PM

Because cottage cheese contains casein protein and it digests slower than whey. Your about to go to sleep for 6-8 hours without food so the slower digestion of the protein the better.

ajustana · 10-06-2003, 02:30 PM

How quick of gains do you think I can expect from this type of diet and workout plan? If I stick to it strictly that is.

I guess I always hear that people should try things out and see what works, but I'd like to know what I can expect to have something to compare it to.

Any thoughts on how much weight I might lose, or bf%, etc... doing this plan for 3 months?

Food for thought, thanks!

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 02:36 PM

I can't say. It depends on your workout intensity, how strict you are with yourself and lets not forget your metabolism. Its different for everyone. Sorry but thats the best answer I can give.

ajustana · 10-06-2003, 02:38 PM

I guess that makes sense Jodi.

I think I'm always looking to hear people's success stories for motivation. I sometimes wonder if things are mostly genetic, or can anyone shed pounds and get a 5-8%bf, etc...

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 02:48 PM

Well I did TP's carb cycling diet for 8 weeks and competed a week and a half ago. That's my best success story. Check out peoples journals for motivation or better yet, start one of your own. Everyone will help and we are each others support

ajustana · 10-06-2003, 02:49 PM

Jodi,

What were your results from it? Did it work well for you?

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 02:50 PM

Sure did. I dropped about 4-5% bf and retained almost 100% LBM!

ajustana · 10-06-2003, 02:52 PM

In 8 weeks? That's pretty good! It gives me hope and makes me think that I should give it a try.

I honestly think the hardest part for me dieting is in not having the ingredients at my house all the time. There are certain mornings that i get up and go "oh shit....I don't have any eggs left and I have to be to work in 10 minutes". That can be a problem. I'm wondering if the best thing to do is to plan each and every meal for the week on Sunday night and make sure I have everything.

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 02:57 PM

I always plan and pack the night before. You have to its the only way.

ajustana · 10-06-2003, 02:58 PM

Are there any more articles to the carb cycling than the one on your posts? I'm wondering if there is a "page 2" or something that goes into how/when you cycle the days.

Thanks!

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 03:06 PM

What do you mean. its a big article and it tells how to cycle. No carb, low carb, high carb repeat
