5,000 calorie diet, First cycle

[patricio]

Hey, GeorgeForeman, no need to get angry like that!!! We all know there are many ways to get there. But high protein diet has been great for some of us in terms of appetite supression and weight loss keeping our muscle, as for bulking up.
Cheers

It's not crazy. I eat over 220g protein daily and I weigh 145 lbs.

MIB, how long did it take you to get to 220 lbs, and what weight were you when you started?

hey built.....actually when i started i was around 165 i think that was roughly 5 years ago but i have really been training hard and the right way for the past 3 years or so

from information i have gathered here and around the net i have decided on this....

Lifting days: 275g protein, 260g carbs, 100g fats roughly 3000cals daily

Non Lifting days: 270g protein, 195g carbs, 100g fats roughly 2700cals daily

plan on dropping cals as needed

Im really not sure what weight i want to get down to but i would just feel better if i could lose some pounds and then when i start my cycle to bulk up as clean as possible......that will be another thread all in itself i believe......would you guys suggest like a 40/40/20 for a bulk?

What made you decide on this plan? How did you arrive at these numbers?

man i dont know....ive put together several since the other day and cant seem to stick to one....i thought i was somewhat educated with how to eat properly but these past few days have thrown my ass for a real loop

 

[ManInBlack]

and for the protein intake....it seems that most people say to go with 1.5 per pound of bodyweight which at 210 would be 315g, or do they mean per pound of LBM which would put me around 260

 

[Built]

Lbm.

 

[ManInBlack]

well ill be a monkeys uncle.......i ALWAYS used my total bodyweight, i never really saw where anyone elaborated and said LBM, shiiiiiiiittttt oh well...my protein intake should be pretty good then at right around 1.5 per pound of LBM

If you're really lean, it won't matter much.
