Post your current diet

[Glycomann]

I'm going to post my basic diet. What is your diet right now? This is what I usually eat and it is not a bulk of a cut or anything like that. It's my base diet. If I stick to it and only eat one cheat meal a week I lean out naturally just because the foods agree with me and assimilate pretty well. I adjust cals according to activity but this is mainly it. I am on no hormones and I am 49 YO so metabolism is slower. This keeps me lean with 5 training days a week: 4-5 weight training sessions and 3 cardio which can be running, sprinting, jump rope, drills and/or heavy bag.

150-200 cals carbs: 200-250 g protein: 75-100 g fat for a total of ~2500+/- 300 cals. All from the following foods:

Chicken breast
Talapia
whey
whole eggs
chedder cheese
cottage cheese
Greek yogurt
peanut butter
olive oil
basmatti rice
broccoli
cauliflower
green peas
carrots
occasional fruit

typical day (rough numbers)

meal 1
8 oz cottage cheese (30 g p, 5 g c, 5 c f)
coffee with sugar and non dairy creamer (2 g p, 15 g c, 20 g f)

meal 2
8 oz chicken ( 70 g p, 18 g f)
1 cup rice (45 g c)
1/3 cup peas (5 g p, 10 g c)
1 tbls olive oil (10 g f)

meal 3
6 oz Greek yogurt (12 g p, 15 g c, 4 g f)

meal 4
8 oz talapia (60 g p)
1 cup rice (45 g c)
1/2 broccoli 5 g c)
1 tbls olive oil (10 g f)

meal 5
whey shake (65 g p 18g carb 5 g fat)

p=250; c~180; f~70; cal ~2350

I am trying to lean out currently and so far things are going good.

This is right around 2600 calories.

 

[feinburgrl]

I try to hit a calorie intake and that's it. I stay clean but I never plan my meals out throughout the day. I only do it for lunch because I go to work.

 

[njc]

I eat the same foods everyday almost. They include eggs, cottage cheese, spinach, iceburg lettuce, apples, oranges, bananas, oats, potatoes, tilapia, salmon, tuna, chicken breast, brown rice, all natural peanut butter, peaches, and whey protein. I think that covers it,

 

[Glycomann]

Damn GMO that is one serious diet. Must be 350 g protein at least. Ahhhh the memories. I wish I could still eat like that bro.

I like this one. Nice carb timing. Our diets are sort of similar.

It sure is a serious diet. GMO, long time no talk brother how the hell are ya? Do measure out your rice before cooking it? Say, you start with one cup dry and then whatever that turns in to (say 2 and a half cups or so) you eat all of that?

Matter of fact, I'd love to know the totals on that diet (cals/protein/carbs/fats) because I was definitely on a similar diet not too long ago.

Yeah man thanks and I definitely noticed the similarities when going over your diet.

You can go to Fitday.com and get the macro and nutrient breakdown for pretty much anything. cooked rice is about 45 g carbsand 4 g protein nominal fat.

Looks like 200 g of carbs or less. It's near to ketogenic. If you move your carb meals closer to bracketing your workout it might keep you with a more ketogenic character for most of the day. You might burn fat better. I really don't see any major problems with the diet as long as your body agrees with the components.

 

[Pika]

? I have no clue what that means bro lmao sorry, but im trying to keep carbs low im 180bls at 5'7 i no small! But im trying to get down to 170bls before winter

Been good man, it is good to see you back on the board. The rice measurements are after it is cooked. 1 cup of uncooked rice usually yields about 3 cups. As Glycomann said, you can enter all of that in to Fitday.com and get the exact breakdown. I'm too lazy to do that for ya

Damn GMO that is one serious diet. Must be 350 g protein at least. Ahhhh the memories. I wish I could still eat like that bro.

I'm currently on cycle, hence the protein and cals. My protein though is right around 1.5x my LBM. I'll continue on this diet through PCT and a few weeks after, then switch it up a bit for maintenance. I usually adjust my cals/carbs/fat by what I see in the mirror. I've been doing this long enough to know how my diet is affecting my physique. Believe it or not, I have actually dropped BF on this diet...I do train VERY hard and burn a great deal of calories in the gym.

 

[ManInBlack]

Good deal, i didnt want anyone to break it down for me I already use a similar site (dailyburn) and I know that I measure my rice before cooking it then eat whatever it yields...Good thread keep posting em up.

 

[LightBearer]

[jwar]

No strict diet yet but I got some good ideas from all your posts. I am 6' 3 and weigh 265 pounds. I would like to get down to at least 225 or 230 with great mass. Sounds like protein is my best choice for fat burning. Then carbs to build the muscle mass. Any other help with a good fat burning diet would be much appreciated.

Morning

1 cup milk
2 scoops whey
1-2 cups frozen spinach
4 whole eggs

All mixed in Vitamix to liquid smoothness.

1 cup Oatmeal
2 bananas
2 scoops whey
4 whole eggs
Premade in the AM in the Vitamix.

After workout

1 cup milk
2 scoops whey

Vitamixed again.

Supper

No Vitamix here, I actually chew this one

Needless to say I'm cutting like a motherfucker on my Test/Deca cycle I'm on ATM.

But I look great, and feel great.

I don't have much of an appetite lately.

I like to eat a huge bowl of raisen bran or shredded wheat before bed, but just don't have appetite.

I keep protein bars and shakes with me to never let my stomach get hungry.

I wish I could eat more.

As you get older your metabolism slows. It picks up when I'm on cycle. I use to have to eat a minumum of 4000 kcal a day just to maintain but now I am much slower. At 49-50 things get a little slower. I titrated it up and down depending on activity. Also the metabolism increases as intensity is consistently up. Heavy squats and deads move it to a new level. Right now ~2500 kcals is where I need to be to stay lean. Really a lot of it is about nutrient timing. I have no problem bulking from 200 off to 225 on in 10 weeks the way I do things but at my age I am happy to hang between 200 and 210 lean. You'll see as you age.

Hey Pika, your diet looks good but I think you should up your protein intake more. From what you have, it looks like you are taking in less than 100 g of protein? Is that correct, I might be mistaken bro.

 

[Pika]

Hey alan, im taking around 150g of food and around 60g of shakes bro im trying to lean oit like its hard tgeres so many diffrent fews

Oh I see, as long as u r getting atleast 1.5 of protein lbs of your weight, especially when you are cutting bro because you would want to keep as much muscle mass you have as possible. I'm also cutting now and it is a bitch, bulking is the most fun part. Good luck with your cutting bro

 

[Pika]

Ok umm hows this for a cut ....

8:30am 30g of whey

9:am 2 eggs 50g of weetabix
