(On non-workout days I have so much fat because I have the fat calories replace carb calories, as per w8's advice)
Today was however a non-workout day for me, on workout days I move the protein shake to about meal 4, right after I workout and have an insulin spike with double the carbs, but no fat, and have no carbs in my last meal and double the fat.
I basically have these same protein sources everyday, and just move around the beef, turkey, chicken, tuna, and eggs depending on what I feel like having at that meal.
I know I should eat more vegetables and normally at least strive to have two turkey salads in the day filled with leafy green vegetables.
I also occasionally switch out the oatmeal for rice or a sweet potato if I am up to making it, but the majority of the time I stick with the old fashioned oats
Also, for each meal as far as macronutrients, I try to get at least 40g protein, 40g carbs, and 17-20g fat. If I go over a little I don't really worry though since this is a bulk, and the carbs are slow-burners."
That was what I posted in the nutrition forum and was what I was eating for about a week until yesterday when I decided to cut again.
The cut diet I have set up is about the same as the above diet, with all carbs, including fruit and most of the tomato cut out, much more veggies added in, and a slight reduction in protein and fat, I think right now I am getting about 16.5 g fat, and 35 g protein, trying to keep carbs under 20g. I am basically doing the Low carb diet w8 posted in the nutrition forum, and as per that diet I will be carbing up every 4 days.
I'm not worried about sticking to the diet, that's no prob, as long as I can commit to this awhile before freaking out and thinking I need to bulk again. Aghhhhhhh!
