cutting diet input

fufu · 03-13-2006, 05:06 PM

I'm starting a cut and I think I have a handle on what I'm doing. My diet will be high protein/low carb/refeeding. I'm 5' 11" and 183 lbs. Here is my diet, let me know how it looks -

meal #1 - 1 whole egg, 1 1/2 cups of egg white, 1/2 tbl sp. of butter, 1/2 c. oats with 1/4 c. of skim milk and 1/4 cup of blueberries/raspberries mixed, and a fish oil capsule.

meal #2 (PWO) - 2 scoops of whey with 1 c. skim milk, 1 1/2 cups of vegetables, and a fish oil capsule.

meal #3 - 6 ounces of steak, 2 slices of sprouted barley bread(15 g. of carbs each), and a fish oil capsule.

meal #4 - 12 ounces of shrimp, 2 med. sized cloves of garlic, 1 tbl spoon of butter, 1 cup cooked brown rice, and a fish oil capsule.

meal #5 - 6 ounces of chicken, 1/2 whole wheat bagel, 2 tbl. spoons of natural peanut butter, 1 1/2 cups of vegetables.

meal #6 - 2 scoops of casein protein, and a fish oil capsule.

I'll be drinking atleas 1 gallon of water a day.

As far as refeeds go...do I keep my caloric level the same as the other days or do I go over? If so, how much should I? Thanks.

I would drop the skim milk PWO because it'll slow the digestion of the whey. And I'd also add something like a banana in there as well. You need the carbs PWO for sure. I'd also drop the butter too, just more calories and fat that you could cut. And instead of a whole wheat bagel, I would opt for whole wheat bread, because it's much less calorie and carb dense. Other than that, it looks good. Good luck!

I agree mostly, but on meal 5, I'd say drop the peanut butter and bagel/bread and replace it with one of the followed: .5c of brown rice, pearled barley, or a small yam... Bread isn't exactly the best source of carbs.

Drop the butter. Add another fish oil capsule here too.

meal #2 (PWO) - 2 scoops of whey with 1 c. skim milk, 1 1/2 cups of vegetables, and a fish oil capsule.

Leave the milk and have a banana too (too little carbs). Dump the vegetables and fish oil...

meal #3 - 6 ounces of steak, 2 slices of sprouted barley bread(15 g. of carbs each), and a fish oil capsule.

Add the vegetables here.

Probably too much meat here?? Is it cooked or raw?

Quote:

meal #4 - 12 ounces of shrimp, 2 med. sized cloves of garlic, 1 tbl spoon of butter, 1 cup cooked brown rice, and a fish oil capsule.

Drop the butter and replace with olive oil or avocado. Add more vegetables too.

Also - 12 oz is a HUGE serving...?? Once again - Is that raw or cooked?

Quote:

meal #5 - 6 ounces of chicken, 1/2 whole wheat bagel, 2 tbl. spoons of natural peanut butter, 1 1/2 cups of vegetables.

Not too bad.. I would consider dropping the bagel and replacing with a better carb... Also decrease the pb to 1 tbs.

Quote:

meal #6 - 2 scoops of casein protein, and a fish oil capsule.

Add a fat here.

Refeeds you typically 'feed' yourself - so increase calories from carbs, drop fats to low level and keep protein moderate (~1.25g/pound)..

How much you need will depend on your stats and calorie deficiency as well as the carb deficiency you are running at.

Thanks. This was the kind of response I was looking for.

The weight is uncooked.
