How do you guys do it naturally
What can i say i am a fat gaining machine, last week i was around 180 pounds at 5 feet 10 and this week i am 192 pounds real soft.
CHanges i made i added some carbs and more protein to my diet and took creatine in water. My protein is nothing out of the range i take in around 200 g a day, from whey shakes chicken cottage cheese tuna.
My calories have to be well around 3000.
Seems that Bill Phillips and Muscle Media where on to something in 1996 when they posted an article about calorie range and natural bodybuilder. Seems that for me if i eat anything more then 2400 cals a day i gain fat, and its all in the tummy.
I add great success doing low carb but i am so tired of this diet, feeling weak most of the time and having no energy.
I guess i must check my diet closely and being limited by a bit of back spasm and cant really do any high intensity cardio makes a big difference.
This week i will try an new approach i dont want to let my weight creep back up to 200 pounds.
I will train in the morning following what many of you have said empty stomach and then take advantage of the fat burning window to eat that post workout meal. I wont over do it with carbs either.
Breakfast will be
Natural Oatmeal with some splenda for taste and 2 eggs
am snake a whey protein shake 23g of protein taken in water with flax oil
dinner whole wheat tuna sandwish
pm snake again same thing shake
supper cottage cheese around 30g of protein
and last but not least another shake before bed.
After reading body opus and lots of info on whey protein i would like to take in has much has my body can without gaining fat, and i guess this is where the fine tunning has to be, all in all i will be consuming around 150g of protein a day, and around 100g of carbs a day with some EFA.
I will try to add low intensity cardio even if i rather kill myself then walk an hour on a treadmill Yaggggg.
cardio...cardio....cardio!
gotta do the cardio bro!
I'm just like you. If my calories go above 3000.... it turns to fat. I've been doing the cardio in the morn for 1 hour for about 5 weeks and it does work.
Good luck!
