My diet cut body fat

[ManInBlack]

Hill, I have always done a 30/50/20 (protein, carbs, fats) macro split when bulking up. Looking back now I believe I was taking in too many carbs but like ROCK said, its all individual bro. You could go with a 40/40/20 split or really whatever you want bro.

I know that for me, here on out, especially after this cut, I will be trying to stay as lean as possible and that includes bulking...I will definitely use a 40/40/20 split to start off with or maybe even something like 45/35/20 (p/c/f).

I think a good starting point for bulking is to get your protein intake to the right number then fill in the rest with carbs and fats and play around with the numbers a bit.

Hoped that help somewhat

I hear ya man. I can down some carbs. But even though cutting is difficult I love it because I see changes every few days. And that makes it worth all the hard work doing cardio, watching your family eat lasagna while you eat a chicken breast with brown rice, and fighting off the urge to eat everything in sight when your cravings are telling you to just do it!

Yeah man, carbs are always nice. I can put them away like no other.

I know what you mean, too. I went to a cookout the other night and I ate chicken/broccoli/strawberries right before we left to head over to it and when I got there I definitely could have eaten a burger and some baked beans but it was suprisingly easy to turn down. I think its because I am feeling good right now.

And to think, just a week and a half or so ago I was feeling like absolute SHIT because of PCT.

Glad to hear you're feeling that much better!!

Try carb cycling too. I basically only get carbs from nuts on days that I don't train (very minimal amounts maybe 20g). Training days I eat about 150g 1.5-2 hours pre workout. No more throughout the day.

It's helped me so much...I swear the tren has nothing to do with it

lol, tren? na bro, im sure that didnt do anything but MAYBE give you a mental boost of some kind.

Here's my 2 cents for what is worth.

First off, diet is an individual thing cause everyone is just a little different. You can start with the basics, but you have to tweak it for your body. So the amount of carbs that work for me, won't necessarily work for you.

Second I think carbs are important for two reasons. They are in my opinion essential for body function and for keeping the body from going into starvation mode or into catabolism. Also, and I've done Keto diets, without carbs you are more likely to crave and consume sugars causing an insulin response. For the most part the carbs will go to glycogen stores, but this is a slippery slope. Also the refeeds can turn Into food orgies negating the fat you burned off during the week.

IMHO it's harder to get there by cutting carbs completely. If you aren't getting results on a 50/35/15 split of macros, adjust the carbs down a bit overall. Cycling them as discussed in this thread helps too cause you keep the body from spilling over carbs to fat store and you keep it guessing which is a good thing when trying to shed fat. You have to realize your body doesn't want to shed fat, it only uses it when there is no other choice.

I hope that made sense.

Made perfect sense other than I've never done carb cycling but I plan to once my pct is over or close to it. I got to where I ate pretty much no carbs every day and honestly felt great but I don't know how when apparently your brain needs 130? lol Anyway thanks a lot man, I'll try that split out possibly if I don't go with carb cycling. Just the whole learning that carbs bind to fat in order to burn fat kind of threw me off. No telling if its true, this same teacher gave a long lecture one day on anabolic steroids making people beat their wives and makes your voice squeeky. Well I could see that if she fuckin deserved it! lol jk

Thats a carb heavy split for bulking lol I just never pay attention to what percentage each group takes up. I was just doing about 350 protein or more, 500 carbs or so, and at 100 fat or below. Usually was around 5000cal when I was eating the most.

Glad youre not feeling like balls anymore either. I think I was just sick because I've had some solid fuckin workouts while on pct. I'm surprised actually kind of felt ON last friday while I was doing arms lol Guess I am a good bit bigger but you get everybody staring at you and you get to feeling suspicious lol gearz

I cannot wait for the motivation of tren! Need to cook me some up soon so I'll be ready for my next cycle!

I highly doubt you are as strict as you claim on your diet if you need advice on a cutting diet in the first place and have olive oil incorporated in it...

That's cool bud, think what you want to think.....It's funny you say that because as I sit here and type this I am looking at a half eaten plate of chicken and broccoli....And please enlighten me as to whats wrong with EVOO....

The reason I was asking for advice is because I have never really cut calories like this before and really stuck with. I was always scared to lose muscle

And your diet is listed where? Just cause you aren't strict on yours doesn't mean someone else isn't. BTW olive oil is a great incorporation in any diet.

Thanks noob you just wasted 15 minutes if my day.

Why did this douche just show up and mouth you? lol

To the fuck head a few posts up talking shit....

There is a picture of everything I will be eating tomorrow and taking to work with me, minus the eggs and oatmeal I have before I leave out.

It's called preparation...you should look into it bitch.

 

[ManInBlack]

By the way, I think someone (maybe SloppyJ) was asking for a good brand of tupperware that lasts. Man, all of that is rubbermaid minus one that is pampered chef. The rubbermaid stuff lasts a long time mine. I use them all the fuckin time and run them through the dishwasher all the fuckin time, too and they hold up.

 

[hill450]

Man I hardly ever make my food ahead of time. I'm sure it helps a lot when you're cutting but good to see you're organized! Keep it up

Good shit bro! Pre prepping is the way to go and you have a less chance of cheating. Keep it up!

 

[lee111s]

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail!

My family think I'm nuts always cooking for the next day/next 2 days. It's simple though if you don't, you WILL end up eating sub-standard food that you can grab in a hurry. Just not good enough if you want to look AWESOME.

 

[ManInBlack]

Carb-up/Refeed today, whichever you wanna call it.....today is going to be a good day

Had some pancakes to go along with my eggs and oatmeal a little bit ago...also had a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch when I get up with my protein shake. Not planning on getting to crazy but I am going to eat plenty of carbs today. I was thinking after my workout I would get some fat free soft serve ice cream to eat after I down my protein/oats shake. Anyway, just updating

 

[ManInBlack]

Guess I'll go ahead and throw this in there, too....

All the guys I work with (specifically the ones that workout, or atleast workout some) have been asking me lately to hook them up with diets and shit because they "wanna be big like me". They have always commented on my size but say I look bigger lately and I actually do despite losing weight. Just some motivation, I'll take it.

That's awesome. Keep Rollin bro.

Hey Rock, on days you do a refeed do you allow yourself to be a bit more relaxed on that day as far as carbs go? maybe a few sweets here and there?

 

[ManInBlack]

i figure since i am eating extremely clean the 3 days in between each refeed that my body is just burning the shit right up anyway...

 

[Pierce1]

Diet is a good for health and also prove best for remove our fat from our body.
Because during the dieting we avoid all junk foods witch are makes fate in our body.
everybody should be diet and save their health from any diseases

 

[ManInBlack]

^^^^^the fuck you say?

 

[RockShawn]

I'm not really doing a refeed right now per se. I get one cheat meal a week right now and I make sure it's a damn good one. When I was on Keto I did a refeed every Friday evening to Saturday night but that was after having only 40g-60g of carbs all week. That was tough.

I'd stay on your free days to limit the sweets. Eat some if it will help you stay off of them the rest of the time, but in my book, sugar is the enemy. A refeed should consist of pastas, bagels, some breads things like that. The idea is to restore depleted glycogen stores in the muscle, however you have to careful not to get carried away to a point of the carbs spilling over to fat stores.

 

[sassy69]

You know you're in the zone when you hit your refeed meal and all you crave is clean food because shitty food becomes hard to digest. For better progress I'd probably keep the shit food to a min and load the good quality carbs.

A thought on PWO carbs - after you've burned up all your available glycogen, post workout is actually one of the best times to resupply carbs - An easy way is just throw your oats in your protein shake and drink.

 

[ManInBlack]

Thanks Sassy, I'll keep my reefed days/carbs to good healthy ones (bread,pasta,rice,oats). I actually already have a half cup of quaker oats mixed in with my post workout shake.

 

[sassy69]

To begin, good luck in your program!
I recommend eating 5 to 6 smaller meals a day. Feeling full throughout the day and a better control over calories. There are a ton of benefits such as distribution of protein.

Plenty of literature on the pluses and minuses of more or less frequent meals. The best frequency is the one that fits your lifestyle - this can range from Intermittent Fasting to 6-8 meals / day.
