Thanks for taking the time to read this, I can definitely use some advice.
I'm 36 years old, 5'8", 270lbs...typical Endo/Meso combination and I use to hit the weights hardcore. I can put on muscle quick but carbs are my worst enemy at this point.
My goal: 215 lbs of lean beef by June 17th
I want to try carb cycling and this is my current dietary schedule:
Monday - no
Tues - high
Wed - no
Thur - low
Fri - high
Sat - no
Sun - low
Here is my typical diet for no carb days:
6am - 4 hardboiled eggs (2 with yolks, 2 whites only)
9am - 4 oz lean chicken (white meat) and 1 cup of leafy spinach
12pm - Boca 'soy protein' Patties (2), 1 cup spinach
3pm - 4 oz lean chicken (white meat) and 1 cup of spinach
workout
PO: 8 OZ Whey
7 pm - .5 cup of cottage cheese
Total macronutrient breakdown for the day:
Calories: 968
Fat: 27 g (approx. 9 from sat fat)
Carbs: 32 g (give or take, dietary fiber offset)
Protein: 138 g
Daily H20 Intake: no less than 1 gallon
Multi-vitamin
Fish Oil Supplements
Low Fat Whey
Flax Seed Oil (as needed)
Here are my questions:
I know the calorie load is way low...How can I increase it without impacting carbs and fat? what food should I add?
I am averaging about .5 grams of protein per lb of body weight...I read it should be at least 1 gm per pound...but I am also not a hardcore bodybuilder. I have my routine, followed by cardio and then I am out. I work out hard while I am there and leave it all in the gym, but I am not going 2 or 3 times a day....so I figured .5g/lb of body weight would be sufficient, without worrying about storing the excess as fat.
thanks!
