i ate everything i could get my hands on from 11/23/2006 to 1/2/2007 and did not work out much during this time. i put on a few pounds so it's time to drop some fat.
foods:
anything off the shopping list document on the approved cutting foods sticky thread broken down into 6 meals every 2-3 hours.
what i'm trying to eat:
11 cals per 1lb of body weight
40/40/20 macro
792 cals from protein
792 cals from carbs
396 cals from fat
1980 cals for the day
198 grams for protein
198 grams for carbs
44 grams for fat
actuals:
2028 calories
180 grams of protein
184 grams of carbs
61 grams of fat
goals:
i would like my calorie deficit to be closer to 500-750 so i'd like to progress to,
12 cals per 1lb of body weight
40/40/20 macro
864 cals from protein
864 cals from carbs
432 cals from fat
2160 cals for the day
216 grams for protein
216 grams for carbs
48 grams for fat
i am using the macros, bmr, etc as a guideline for now so i can organize and split up my meals. i find eating 1 gram of protein and carb per pound of actual weight and eating 30% of total weight towards fat promotes fat loss for me as long as i don't go past maintenance on my cheat days. if i cheat 2 days a week, eating whatever i want going past my maintenance calories, my weight and bf stays consistent as long as i eat right and work out the other 5 days. i work out 5 times a week, 45-55 minutes a session, no cardio. i would like to get back to 15-18% bf. i am not too concerned with how much i weigh as long as i do not drop too much weight.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
right now i'm working out 5 days a week. i work out for 45-60 minutes. switching up every week and in no given order,
1. biceps
2. triceps
3. legs
4. back
5. chest/shoulders
i go to 6-12 depending on body part. right now, i'm cutting and i've never gained noticable muscle mass so i'm lifting to burn calories and maintain muscle mass. seems to work for me. i usually wait until i'm under 15% bf before i start tracking workouts. i mainly do this to stay healthy. every year though, i get a little more serious so i'm not so pudgy during the summer. or once my pants start getting tight...
