    Cutting Diet - Gopro Style

    Just a couple side notes before I get started on my posting. I have a pretty fast metabolism, that requires me to bulk at 20.x my bodyweight, and that requires me to cut around ~17-18x my bodyweight.

    I'm using a modfiied version of gopro's cutting style, and I'm focusing in on carb/fat timing, while keeping the protein intake constant. I should mention that I'm on a budget when it comes to supplement as I currently don't have a job, so I'm eating what is usually around the house.

    2 different types of diets,
    ON days (high protein, moderate carb, low fat)
    OFF Days (high protein, low carb, moderate fat).

    Without further adeiu....

    OFF Days

    Meal 1
    2 whole eggs
    11 Egg Whites
    3 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter

    Meal 2
    1/3cup of oatmeal
    1 Glass of Milk
    8 oz chicken breast (before cooking)

    Meal 3
    2 Scoops ON Whey
    3 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter


    Meal 4
    2 Scoops ON Whey
    3 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter

    Meal 5
    1 Cup of White Rice
    9 oz chicken breast (before cooking)
    1 tbsp Olive Oil

    Meal 6
    8 oz chicken breast (before cooking)
    1/2 Cup of Rice

    Meal 7
    2 Scoop ON Whey
    1 tbsp Olive Oil
    3fish oil caps

    When you refer to cup of rice is that pre-cooked or cooked?

    I thought white rice was a big no for the gopro and dr. pain diets. Maybe it was just dr. pains.

    Technically, I'm not to fond of using the white rice, I just don't have brown rice available to me just yet. The only time I would use white rice is postworkout.

    APG - you could give it a shot, depends on your metabolism, I started this diet up when I was 197 lbs, and I'm around 192.4~194.5 lbs now. Side note, you just made me recount some things, I've been using the wrong scoop all this time! (doh)

    bigss75 - Thanks man Its a bitch, but I get it done!

    APG - Ah brown rice should help you cut, just make sure you get your diet in order. If you're eating you're first meal at 4pm, I see nothing wrong with that IFF you're waking up at 3:30 pm

    Nice nice, good luck to you I should probably let you know that my protein intake is around the 403~408 range. Carbs are 131/245 (off/on), and fats are 135/78 (off/on).

    Thanks I am a bit confused is that 403g of P is that not too much? Its just that I have been told that 350g is too much in the past

    I guess that's all relative, I find that it works for me, but it might not work for you. I'm probably not using the same split as Emma has suggested to you.

    You eat a lot of peanut butter on your off days. Do you have the final macros?

    couple questions alaric...

    How do you cook the eggs? I've never had egg whites or whole eggs before except scrambled eggs..i want to give it a try but i heard from a lot of people it's hard to eat because of it's nasty taste

    Also i'm off this week and i plan on starting a cut soon so if i were to try your diet would it work for me? Im currently 6'1, 176 pounds, 19 years old and my metabolism is fast too. But isn't 3300 cals too much for a cut? I thought it was supposed to be in the 2300-2700 range?

    This sounds like a good, but expensive diet. Also, I have no frickin' time to cook all of that shit everyday day. Hell, I hate to cook anyways which means I'm screwed.

    i buy those frozen pre-cooked chicken breasts that you can throw in the
    microwave they taste like ass but oh well. I also cook my rice 3days worth
    at a time. I have hardly anytime too cook with my scedule. You can also
    buy those packs of chicken that are in the sealed waterfree bag. I get
    allot of those low-fat frozen meals from "michelanglos" of however you spell
    it. It works for me. I have a backpack full of food with me at all times.

    Kentdog - yup i do eat a lot of peanut butter, it'll have to do until I can get a hold of some udo's oils and/or fish oil caps. Final Macros:
    ON DAYS: 408.96/ 246.87/ 79.055/ 3354.25
    OFF DAYS: 403.46/ 131.27/ 135.901/3335.25

    These are all in Protein/Carb/Fat/Total Calories format.

    shiznit2169uh, I just mix them in a bowl and I put it on a pan. I'm not great with cooking terms (I'm an f'in retard when it comes to cooking like I said in my ohter post), I think its called sunny side up? Hell I'm not even sure. But I put 'em on a pan and cook 'em like pizza You get bored of the taste after a while, but I forcefeed myself.

    I'm not sure if my diet would work for you or not, its a risk. We probably have different body types, I'm 18, 5'10 195lbs, and I have a super fast metabolism, so I need to cut at 17-18x my bodyweight. You might have a completely different case than me, us teens don't necessarily have to use the same guidelines as the adults do.

    BigDyl - All about time management man, I do my homework while I wait for the chicken to bake or something. I have no idea what I'm gonna do once I get a job though. I share your pain though, I hate cooking myself, only because I can't.

    well, you seem to fall more into the catgory of the mesomorph bodytype. AKA
    the lucky ones lol. you maybe are just in a training rutt. I would say mixup
    your workouts a lil more if your concern about your BF try and throw a
    ECA stack into the mix. I would also up your HIIT to maybe 15-20mins
    just to burn a lil more off ya. There are not too many suggestions for your
    bodytype you normally don't have too much trouble reaching your optimal
    BF levels. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

    oh, no no im not in a training rutt. Ive been lifting for only like 2 months. I love the way i am training and i know what im doing and have seen strength and mass gains but its just my diet that sucks. If i had the perfect diet, i would feel very confident and would definetly improve my BF% but i dont know jack squat when it comes to dieting. The trainers at my gym dont know anything either.

    alaric.

    you have milk in your list....what kind (whole, skim, 2%...)

    That's almost exactly what i used to eat. Good stuff!
    I gotta get back into this...Since November of last year, I've only been going to the gym once or twice a week if I'm lucky and been eating scraps and not enough times a day. (long story, moved, bought condo, then lost job, on top of studying for PE license)

    Diet looks good...keep it up!
    Go-pros workouts rock also.
