Caloric Intake

**fanatic** · 05-30-2005, 01:58 AM

Age:22
Ht:5'10"
Wt: 189.5 ( I just weighed myself)
Bf%: 13-14
Cycle: Starting prop for 12 weeks and var for the last 6-8.

I originally put this in the steroid question forum but figured it needed to be here too. I copied and pasted it.

I was wondering if 4000 calories are too many for me during a LBM in which I want to gain as close to "0" fat as possible.

At 4000, I would do the 50/30/20 Carbs, prot and fat split, which would put me at 500g crabs/day, 300g prot/day and 88.8g fat/day.

I can not stress enough that I do want this to be a very lean cycle. Any help would be really appreciated- tomorrow is the day I "cross over". lol Thanks fellas.

Post your actual diet with foods that your going to eat and then we can help you determine if you are going to get good LBM gains.

Lol you mean crabs wont make me buff? Anyway, here is my meal plan as of now -it is far from being done, but its getting there.

Meal 1:
Whey Protein Shake/4 Egg Whites/1.5 cups of 100% Whole Grain Oats (82.2g carbs, 54g complete protein, 9g fat) 758 calories

Meal 2:
Whey Protein Shake/6oz. Chicken Breast/2 Tbsp Flaxseed Oil (8g carbs, 70g protein, 28.6g fat) 683.4 calories

Meal 3:
Red Peppers/Tomato/Lettuce Salad, 1 Can Tuna/1.5 cups of 100% Whole Grain Oats (86g carbs, 40g protein, 10g fat) 625 calories

Meal 4:
1 cup peanuts/6oz. Chicken Breast w/ Red Peppers/Tomato/Lettuce Salad (5g carbs, 35g protein, 9g fat) 300 calories

Workout
Meal 5/PWO: Whey Protein Shake (8g carbs, 40g protein, 4g fat) 240 calories

Meal 6:
PPWO 1.5 cups of 100% Whole Grain Oats (81g carbs, 9g fat) 450 calories

Totals:
Calories: 3056 calories
Carbs: 270.2
Protein: 239
Fat: 129.6

I need to increase my carb and protein intake, while decreasing my fat. This will allow my calories to increase as well. I know meals 5 and 6 are f**ked up but but I wasnt sure on the PWO nutrition stuff. Also, I need to add casein but Im not sure where.

Looks good except :

meal 5 PWO - add some dex, 2:1 ratio dex with protein

meal 6 PPWO - add some protein.

If you add casein, take ti b4 bed coz its a slow digesting protein...
