7 whites, 1 yolk
1/2 cup oatmeal
s/f jam
(Q's: Are yolks ok? doesn't say in the article, can I keep my sugarfree jam for now? It has 40kcals per 100g )

It is in the article, it says half whole eggs half whites. So if you need 30G of Protein then do 3 Whole Eggs and 3 Egg whites. You don't need any other fat for that meal because that will be considered 1 of the 2 higher fat meals. S/F Jam - well its not really sugar free, they usually still have about 5G Sugar in them per serving. Also, where is t he piece of fruit that goes with the carb meal. Remember 1 small piece of fruit with each carb meal on Low and High Carb days.

Meal 2:
5 oz lean pork
boccoli
(Q's: Should extra fat be added to this meal?)

Yes Fish Capsules, you want about 15-20 fish caps a day spread out through your meals

Meal 3: Post workout!
1 dl whey
2 small apples
(Q's: I should have another carb source, shouldn't I? Should there be fat in this meal?)

On Low Carb Days, you want 3 meals with carbs. Plus a small piece of fruit. Try and make one of your carb meals after your workout

This is low carb and I'm supposed to eat 1g per pound of bodyweight? That is cah-razy. But I like it So, is that lean mass or jus bodyweight? If bodyweight I should consume close to 150g That is friggin more than on the high carb days I had before!! I'm so going to be stuffed!!

1G carb times your current bodyweight and don't forget the fruit

Workouts:
*Weights: Shoulders and biceps
- Shoulder presses (J'bo, I don't know what push presses are, I'm a swede ): 3x8
- Arnold presses (these felt good!): 3x8
- Standing laterial raises: 3x8-10
- Seated laterial raises (er, so this should be the lying incline laterials For posterior, right?): 3x8
- Upright rows (are BB different?): 3x8

- Cable curls: 3x8-10
- Ez bar preacher curls (these suck!): 3x8-10
- DB Hammer curls (I love these!): 3x8

*Cardio:
- AM: 60 min powerwalk

15-20 caps a day. Don't worry about counting your fat. Just stick with the fish oil and lean protein sources. Also, if you don't get a high fat meal in such as eggs or beef then add 1 T. PB or Flax for the day

Protein, is around 200g okay? Can I keep my morning powerwalks? I love them It feels so good and gives me time to think and prepare for the day Ack, I don't want to cut back on cardio..

Protein looks good

I really have a hard time thinking that my high carbs will get any higher than low carb days. Cause over 150g is friggin insane!! Unless I can eat candy I know I can't though.

Don't stress about it. Listen to your body. Eat your protein and veggie, then your fruit and then eat your carbs til your satisfied. Again listen to your body. This diet works, don't skip your high carb days. Trust me it works, it got me competition ready.

I know, lots of questions! Thanks

Anytime hon!

* Damn, I loved that jam Okay, 3 yolk, 3 whites. I actualluy had a small apple now that you mention it, guess I forgot to add that The fruits are counted in the carb g right?

Yes Fish Capsules, you want about 15-20 fish caps a day spread out through your meals
*Okay, so maybe about 3-5 to this meal?

On Low Carb Days, you want 3 meals with carbs. Plus a small piece of fruit. Try and make one of your carb meals after your workout
* I will get 4 meals today to get the carbs in, but I'm doing 3 from now on.

1G carb times your current bodyweight and don't forget the fruit
*Okay

15-20 caps a day. Don't worry about counting your fat. Just stick with the fish oil and lean protein sources. Also, if you don't get a high fat meal in such as eggs or beef then add 1 T. PB or Flax for the day
* Okay. And two high fat meals per day? Omg, not counting and being in total control is making me pretty scared But that's good, I need that

Don't stress about it. Listen to your body. Eat your protein and veggie, then your fruit and then eat your carbs til your satisfied. Again listen to your body. This diet works, don't skip your high carb days. Trust me it works, it got me competition ready.
*Okay I trust you completly

* Okay, including fiber

TP told me your not really suppose to count the fruit on low carb days, its extra but seeing thats the only day you have to count carbs well, I sometimes counted the fruit on low carb days but don't worry if you don't.

If you don't want 2 high fat meals then don't. High fat meals, meaning Eggs, Beef, Swordfish, Shark, Salmon. If you don't want the 2 high fat meals then have 1 high fat meal and in another meal add 1 T. Natty PB or Flax. Its up to you. Personally I like the 2 high fat meals because eggs and beef are yummy.

3-5 Caps per meal is good.

Okay, I will count it when I feel like it and skip it when I don't

Okay, well, I eat a lot of salmon. That's on the list of "Approved lean protein sources" in the article though
Can I do 7 whites and add other fat if I want to? That would be okay I'd think. I do like my Eggs

Okay, I think I'm all out of questions right now, but there will be more

Yes it is an approved protein as well as eggs and beef but they are considered a higher fat protein. Just keep that in mind and eat 2 high fat meals a day

Can I do 7 whites and add other fat if I want to? That would be okay I'd think. I do like my Eggs

Yes, I did. I love scrambling ground beef in with my eggs so I use to do 1 whole egg and the rest whites and then an oz. or 2 or ground beef

Okay, I think I'm all out of questions right now, but there will be more

This diet seems like alot of work, but makes sense too Certainly does look interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you like it and how you feel (physically) a couple months from now.

Anyways, I'm going to go eat some eggs for breakfast!

Okay, I'm starting tomorrow with a low carb day. Today got a bit messed up from the beginning and I want a clean cycle. So, I'll enjoy some jam and almonds and stuff that won't be allowed tonight and starting tomorrow.
These are the meals I plan for tomorrow, please comment
Low carb day:

Meal 1:
6 whites, 3 yolks
1/2 cup oatmeal, sweetner
1 apple
3 fishoil caps

Meal 2:
1 dl whey
5 fish oil caps
(should I add more fat? this meal is during a 10 min break in school and don't have a lot of time to prepare it)

Meal 3:
1 dl whey
5 fish oil caps
(same Q's as above!)

Meal 4: PW
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
veggies
1 fruit
3 fish oil caps

Meal 5:
7 whites, 1 yolk
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 tbsp flax
2 fish oil caps

Meal 6:
5 oz chicken
veggies
2 fish oil caps

Tomorrow will be a hard day to prepare for since I'll be in school from 9:00 AM to at least 6:00 PM. Have some hours in between where I'll go to the gym. So meals 2, 3 and 4 will have to be packed. I know I should get more veggies in, which usually isn't a problem for me.

Comments please

Ah this carb-cycling is so confusing. I want to try it, but I'm scared. That's a lot more carbs than I'm used to eating. Good luck with it.

Okay, about my workouts. J'Bo and I discussed this in PMs and came up with this

mon: shoulders and bis
tues: hams, booty & abs
wed: only cardio
thur: back & tris
Fri: quads and chest
sat: active rest
sun: Cardio/rest

But, I think I'll switch it up a little. My legs don't need a whole lot of special attention right now I think, I just need to lose all that nasty fat on them Delts, esp posterior, needs some more attention though. And arms needs a little work too. So, I'm putting all leg muscle groups in one day and will work a little extra on shoulders on Chest day, focusing on posterior.
I'm also a but worried about working chest right after triceps, since they will be pretty sore the day after thursday's work.

Oh, and abs will be worked on Fri, mon or wed.

Hmm, any thoughts on this ppl?
