Finally - Can you please critique the diet
Hiya all,
I decided to hold on before posting this, and asked a whole bunch of questions first, to get the diet tweaked as much as possible, and then ask for critiques.
(I know from reading tons of threads that its best to give EVERY DETAIL upfront, so I hope the tons of writing doesn't scare you away :) )
I am now 20 years old, 1.8m tall, about 175lbs, looking to maintain muscle and gain (even if slowly) lean body mass, whilst cutting bf, to get some good cuts (especially abs :) ). Just for background history - I was very fat till about age 16 (90kg!), lost 20kg, and slowly built up from there.
So, here goes:
Well, here is a typical day's diet:
8AM
8 eggwhites
45g oats or 2 Branbix (http://www.bokomofoods.co.za/bix_bran.htm)
5g flax oil
TOTAL = 35g protein, 25g carbs, 10g fat
11AM
150g Tuna
220g butternut (type of squash)
TOTAL = 40g protein, 25g carbs, 5g fat
12:30AM
Train
2PM
Postworkout meal: 55g whey powder, 25g Maltodextrin
TOTAL = 40g protein, 25g carbs, 5g fat
3PM
2 Chicken Breasts (weighed to about 160-170g)
45g oats or 2 Branbix
TOTAL = 40g protein, 25g carbs, 5g fat
6PM
200g Salmon Steak
300-400g mixed fibrous vegetables (for example brocolli, cauliflower, gemsquash, patty-pans, carrots, green beans etc.)
TOTAL = 40g protein, 25g carbs, 10g fat
9PM
150g Chicken breast
TOTAL = 35g protein
11PM
Just before bed: 45g blended protein powder, 5g flax oil
TOTAL = 35g protein, 5g fat
TOTAL FOR DAY: 265g protein, 125g carbs, 40g fat. About 4-5l of water drunk per day.
As you can see, I normally have about 7 meals. All have protein and carbs except the last 2 meals which are only protein. Also, My carbs go from complex starches like branbix and oats in the morning, to fibrous vegetables later in the day.
SUPPLEMENTS:
Glutamine: 5g postworkout, 5g before bed
Multivitamins: Centrum x 1, Berocca Calmag x 1 (B-Complex), 500mg Vitamin C x 3, 400iu Vitamin E x 2
ECA: (Haven't started any yet). I would use an ECA stack, twice daily, upon waking up and just before a workout. I normally cycle the ECA stack 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. I am trying to get some clenbuterol and start cycling clen and ECA 2 weeks/2 weeks.
Any suggestions would be helpful - types of food, ratios, added/redundant supplements, should I up my carbs if I start clenbuterol/ECA, etc. Any advide welcome.
I train 5 days weights - about 1hr - 1hr 15 each session, do cardio 3 days a week, 30 minutes a pop.
Well, that should be just about it I hope.
THANKS!
