Need the Experts to help me with a cutting diet

[Whoznxt]

Hey need your help!!!

Age: 24
Weight 230
BF- Not sure

Well here goes. I've been in the gym going on a regular basis for about a year now. I like where I've gone with myself but I haven't really lost/gained weight. Toned a little.

Now here's where I stand

About a week ago I started a cycle on Winstrol. I did a lot of research and liked what I heard about the steroid, and I've seen good results so far. Although, I was on a piss poor diet.

I started the cycle eating a yogurt at 7am, yogurt at 10am, grilled chicken salad around 1pm, and lifting from 7-9pm. Then another grilled chicken salad after workout. That was it. I noticed a quick drop in lbs, but that quickly came back on.

After a week on the Winstrol, I notice my muscles are much harder, I can see a little more tone to my body. Nothing major, and I know it takes time. I've read a lot of people say don't even bother if your not under 10% body fat, but so far I've noticed some lean muscle gains (maybe that's where my lack of weight loss has come to play)

I'm looking to put together a balanced healthy diet**********

I work essentially Monday-Friday 7am-6pm so it's hard to maintain a healthy diet.

Advice is needed. I need a balanced diet to put together. I believe I would need about 2900 calories a day to maintain my body weight.

Basically I need you all to tell me what to eat. I've done some egg whites in the morning, and that's not a problem. Just need someone to basically tell me what to eat, when, and how much lol.



As you can see here it's not much to look @, but it's where I've worked to get. I want to get down to 205 range by probably March-April

Need your help!!!!

You are going to need to track what you eat. Simply counting calories isn't going to be enough.
1) Go to fitday.com and track what you are currently eating.
2) Based on the calorie level you want to maintain pick food sources that will give you at least 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per lb of body weight. You'll probably find it's easier to eat half of it from whey supplementation as whole food protein can get expensive and it's quite allot to eat.
3) Get adequate healthy fats.
4) Adjust your carb intake depending on how tolerant you are to them staying away from processed stuff and sugars.

As far as working during the day. Most of us do that and pre-preparing meals and shakes is the ticket there.

Thanks man, what are some of the best foods to eat in the breakfast, lunch, and post workouts? Also, would almonds, or yogurts be good "snack" foods, or substitute bananas or something

Bro, Gear won't compenste for a shitty diet.

You are 24 years old and overweight.

You still are young enough to be churning out the test naturally.

Get your nutrition and workout routines in step. Eat a preworkout meal. This is HUGE. Work hard and fast at the gym, go heavy with compound moves if able. Get the heart pounding bro, kick it up a notch. Bust some ass. Challange the mind and body. Eat a post workout meal. This is HUGE.

I don't know shit about gear, but I don't think that you are a good candidate.

Good luck

Where to start.....Fitday will be your best friend. You can't guess Cals and at the end of the day you need to burn more then u take in.

Ok make things simple , for breakfast do 1-2 eggs w 4-5 whites, Canadian bacon and spinach omelette ,and some oatmeal w almonds. Eat a big balanced breakfast and you will feel the difference throughout the day.
Yogurt is not gonna cut it.

Lunch a salad is fine just make sure you have some kinda lean meat and veggies. Olive Oil and vinegar is the best dressing.

For dinner lean meat ,fish, complex carbs and veggies.

Fruit, almonds and Greek yogurt are a good snack.

Try to also eat a nice balanced meal about 2 hours before the gym. Not eating for 7 hours then working out is not good. You will have horrible workouts.
Post WO you want a 2-1 carbs to protein ratio. So prob 80 carbs to 40 g protein. Here simple carbs is the only time I would have them. At other times stay away from sugar and processed crap. Get some protein powder, it will make your life easier. Mix w some skim milk and dextrose to get your carbs.

Try to eat every 2-3 hours small meals or snacks, this way you won't tend to over eat and track everything on Fitday. When in doubt protein is the best. Try to go for 40/35/25 carbs/protein/ fat ratio. Cals around 2400. Fitday will keep track of both.

Thank you so very much, I've put together a nice diet and we'll see how it goes. I'm going to try:

6am:

5-6 egg whites, including a full egg. 2 slices canadian bacon, and maybe a cup of oatmeal.

8:30-9am

Greek yogurt

11am

Banana, and scoop of protein (24g protein)

12:30-1pm

Grilled chicken salad with vinegar. also other greek yougurt

3:30

peanut butter, and whole wheat sandwich

5-5:30

Grilled chicken (1 slice, some steamed broccoli and green beans, and maybe some almonds)

Workout 6-8pm.

8:30

1 scoop protein, more grilled chicken, and some vegetables.



How does this sound. Seems to be around 2200-2400 calories/205 protein/130 carbs/90 fat.
