I'm trying to gain more muscle mass as well as lose excess bodyfat, especially around midsection and chest. My statistics are 5 foot 11, 183 lbs, decent build, jsut like I said some excess bodyfat and some muscles that could be bigger. This is what I usually eat, (as well, I'm not currently using straight whey powder but GNC Mega MRP, 43 g of protein, 16 g of carbs, 2 g of fat, and 250 calories per 68g of powder):Quote:

I'm not sure you are eating enough....a rough guideline is body weight x 12 = kcals on a cut meal 1 - cut the white bread! replace with a slow burning carb such as oatmeal (not instant) or steel cut oats. meal 2 - how big is the chicken/beef serving? meal 3 - your powder has alot of carbs in it....how is the sugar level in it? meal 4 - cup of fruit - is that canned fruit? or fresh fruit? What type of fruit? You should try to stick to the berry family and apples and peaches or grapefruit. Just about anything else fruit wise has alot of sugar in it. meal 5 - one apple  where is the protein and fat in this meal?So basically you should try and cut down the sugar intake (read this as kill all sugar  ) You also need to add in some EFA's and you are selling yourself short on protein. You should try and get 1.5 x your body weight = grams of daily protein. This should be evenly split across all your meals. Also how much water you drinking? Try to aim for 1.5 gallons a day.hope that helps! Your biggest bang for your buck/time in cutting fat is cut all sugar, eat tons of protein, build muscle mass, balance your meals with pro/carb/fat, and add a bit of cardio. |
