Hi,
wondered if anyone can help,i have posted here before and had great feedback just hope someone can help.i have been cutting now for approx 9 weeks when i hit 10%bf everything slowed down so i posted here as i found i was getting sluggish and tired and up pops the re-feed !amazing stuff really great experience from others which i see is now a sticky and rightly so.
My problem now is that i have all the energy i need but not losing weight at all,i re-feed on a weds and have 1 cheat meal on a saturday evening, i am currently doing 3 morning runs of about 35 mins ,on the weights 4 evenings per week,currently 196 from 208 and my diet looks like this:

Meal 1 8.30am
75 grams oatmeal with water + sweeteners
6 egg whites + 2 yolks scrambled with 1 cal olive oil spray
Meal 2 10.30am
40 grams whey isolate in water
Meal 3 12.30pm
50 grams whole grain rice
200 grams chicken
200 grams broccoli
Meal 4 3pm
40 grams whey Isolate in water
15 ml udos oil - or 30 grams walnuts
Meal 5 5.30pm

200 grams baked potato
1 1/2 cans of tuna in brine
Meal 6 pre-workout
200 grams baked potato
200 grams grilled cod

Meal 7 post workout

minimum 6 litres water daily
*All weighs are dry/uncooked weights
Approximate macronutrient and calorific intake:

Carbohydrates 230 grams

Am i doing something wrong? or is it something i am not doing?

Hope someone can help

310 g protein x 4 = 1240 kcals from protein / 2520 total kcals = 49% protein

230 g carbs x 4 = 920 kcals from protein / 2520 total kcals = 37% carbs

40 g fats x 9 = 360 kcals from fat / 2520 total kcals = 14% fat

With the percentage of your diet coming from carbs, you don't really need a re-feed of carbs.

I would also suggest that you are not utilising the very metabolically active time post work-out, I would put a proper meal in after your PWO shake, and reduce the meal pre-workout.

Actually the meal pre-workout looks perfect for after training,.

Before training, a shake and maybe a wee bit of fruit.

It is very well structured, how did you calculate how many calories you need for the day?

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply, my diet was made up by a competitive BB probably why it is well structured.
The thing about the re-feed is that i am just exhausted come thurs and fri until i have my cheat meal on a sat evening,if by taking the the post workout meal like you suggest would this help keep my leptin levels higher and avoid the plateau towards the end of the week?
I am sure that it is my metabolism slowing down towards the end of the week due to low glycogen,if i could stop this happening it would be great.

Well friend, in my case I don't really eat all that much, and I'm very active throughout the day, but lately I seem to be putting on some weight. Is there a reason I would even though I'm burning more than enough calories in a day?
