I've always just gone with feel for diet. I eat ONLY the respected foods of our sport, and have learned to adjust based on how my body felt. I always aimed for a 3500 calorie bulk with roughly macros of 40/20/40.
I thought today I'd try fitday for the first time. I just finished entering a very detailed listing of a typical training day's diet. Note that I eat just about the same thing every day. Usually the only meal I alternate would be my post-workout "dinner" in the late-evening. Here's what I got:
Calories: 3,619
Protein: 285.4 g (32%)
Carbs: 362.6 (40%)
Fat: 116.7 (28%)
Saturated: 28.9 (7%)
Polyunsaturated: 38.3 (9%)
Monounsaturated: 42.7 (10%)
By the way, my stats:
Age: 22
Heigh: 5'9
Weight: 193 lbs
BF: approx 13%
Training experience: almost 2 years
Stage: Bulk
Training Frequency: 3 days a week + 1 grip session (1 hypertropgy, 1 power/plyometrics, 1 maximal lifting)....also perform HIIT cardio 3-4 days a week (duration depends on whether indoors with bad weather (15 - 20 minutes) or outdoor biking (30-45 mins)
Goal: Basic Mass and Strength but also cardio condition...specific goals can be given if requested
Now, I'll go into more detail on my diet soon but for now I want to ask about vitamins and minerals. I always knew I was covered in vitamins and minerals from my diet (I also take a complete multivitamin), but I was shocked at just how many vitamins/minerals I get from my diet.
Looking at the chart analysis I'd say I'm averaging 300-400% of the RDA recommendations on all the vitamins/minerals, and that doesn't include my multi I take at home! Granted, BB'ers and more active individuals require more, but is there a point where this can become detrimental?
I'm not eating any unusual foods. Typical days include eggs, whole weat bagels, OJ, lots and lots of spinach, broccoli, peppers, tomato, pumpkin seedsm, oil, avocado, tuna, beef or chicken, rice or pasta, oats, cottage cheese, whey, banana, milk, etc.
