Thats it? Looks real balanced.

lol i messed up... had to repost



Posted by: GSXR750

I couldn't stand that much pork. I'd throw the chicken in.



Posted by: Just a guy

well... i buy bulk of one meat.. every week. Last week it was chicken all week... this week its pork... next week is turker and chicken.



Posted by: Just a guy

no suggestions on how to improve my diet? I know i messed up somewhere.



Posted by: Mudge

Well you have quite a variety there. Pork is loaded with fat is it not? I imagine you'd pay a good bit extra to get lean pork, frankly I'd go insane because I dont like pork that much.

I eat mostly beef right now because I like it, and yes it has saturated fat but its lean sirloin so I dont think its so terrible

Chicken is great but breast has almost no fat so its very low calorie, if you need more calories go for thighs.

Im assuming you wake up late, first meal 11a.m.
If you slammed first meal at 7-8 you could add more carbs i.e. oatmeal/toast/protein shake/6 egg whites and still get the protein.



Posted by: Just a guy

yeh i wake up pretty late... sometimes i get a meal in at 10 AM but that is as early as it gets.

I dont like eggs, i hate oatmeal. LoL im very simple minded when it comes to food.



Posted by: Mudge

I can eat pretty much anything, but I like you eat the same meat pretty much all the damn time, I go for months before I change. I dont care that much about taste.



Posted by: Just a guy

i ate some bad hamburger the other morning... I got a very strong stomach so i didnt throw it up.



Posted by: Just a guy

Also... Where should i keep my carbs at? Like how many grams a day will still be ok to lose body fat...



Posted by: Mudge

Depends on your calories somewhat, but for serious cutting I would go 100 or less. This leaves you trying to make up calories elsewhere obviously.



Posted by: Just a guy

yeh im hittin around 60-80



Posted by: Just a guy

well... How many carbs low is too low??? FOr keeping muscle mass.

And my cheat meal is tommorow... Is it really ok to have a cheat meal in your diet? Like i have heard its PART of the diet so you jack your metabolism up... or something like that... if someone could explain that whole deal too me that would be great.

I think your carbs are too low. Personally I would rotate carb days. A high, low, and medium day in the order of; low, medium, high, medium, low, medium, ect, ect.

On days where your carbs are lowest I would compensate the loss of calories with more EFAs.

Likes someone else noted, try to get your carbs in earlier in the day. Stick to low glycemic carbs. Brown rice, sweet potatos, whole grains, ect. I would cut out all carbs after 7pm with the exception of some vegetables (being as they're relatively light in calories).



Posted by: Mudge

Diet is individual JAG, if you are doing 800g carbs and not that fat, then obviously 60-80 is way too much of a cut. Look at total calories more than carbs IMO, if you cut too many calories at once likely you are going to lose LBM, but again it is ALL INDIVIDUAL.



Posted by: Just a guy

yeh i measure my arms today... there still 17.5 so thats good... i guess i will keep them where there at... Im just worried about if im going to keep losing Fat... because i cant go much below 2,200. and i dont want to stop till im below 10% BF

What u think about cheat meals? is it a good thing or not?



Posted by: Mudge

One cheat a week, a cheat, not a binge. That is all I allow myself if dieting strict.



Posted by: Just a guy

fuckin shit... i quit losing Fat... Am i going to have to go below 2,000 calories?? shite



Posted by: TrojanMan60563

Hey JAG try doing some cardio not just lifting. Its probably most effective first thing in the morning. You can also do it after a workout. 30-45 minutes per session should do the trick.



Posted by: Mudge

Diets are slow bro, pros look at 16-20 weeks to diet you are asking for everything within a couple weeks.

I started doing some cardio myself, 65% heart rate though not high rate stuff, and not for long durations either.



Posted by: Just a guy

I run a mile everyday... and thats ALOT too me.. because i NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER Run... i HATE IT... but im doin it.

i do 15 minutes of cardio 3 days or 4 days a week... which for me is a mile... One time ALONG LONG time ago i ran a mile in 9 minutes... man.. i also weighed like 140



Posted by: Just a guy

i cant seem to lose the fat off my stomach... It just stays there.. Is that genetic or will it go away? Yeh im thinking about doin this cutter for 8 weeks... Thinking about gettin some more Tren and runnin that and EQ and some Prop and some winny. God i hope that helps me lean out... i know there not magic but i just need to hardn up... ya know?

How long do u think i should stay at 2,200 calories?? like how many weeks.. or a week

Even when i was starving my self in 9th grade(dont ask) i STILL had a gut and i weighed 140... i dont fuckin get it



Posted by: Mudge

I dont like running.

Is it genetic? Yeah its called being a male Men store fat in the midsection, thats just how it is. Supposedly the longer it is the harder it is to get rid of.

Look into HIIT cardio if you have not already, high intensity interval training. Starvation diets are not the way to go bro.



Posted by: Just a guy

oh i know that... i'll never do the starvation thing again... just seems wierd i cant get rid of my stomach... but i aint gonna stop till its gone... thats my goal



Posted by: TrojanMan60563

Here is my cardio plan that I am going to start doing tomorrow actually. Wake up go to gym walk on treadmill at 8-12% incline for 45 min. Eat a proper diet, and at night lift weights followed by another 45 on treadmill at 8-12% incline. From what other bodybuilders have told me this method works well.



Posted by: Mudge

Ronnie did an hour twice a day pre-comp.



Posted by: crackerjack414

ronnie was walking cardio is iffy on how much you do. I personaly do best doing eliptical cardio i normaly start at 20 mins eod and work up to 45 min ed adding 5 mins a week and cutting cals by about 300. Jag u might try having a high carb day once every 2 weeks or week to just recharge your glycogen stores. Getting ripped just takes a hell of alot of time and dedication drugs are a small part of it.

As for running 1 mile dont sweat that i run 4 miles 5 days a week with spring intervals on the other days pre season.
