Diet looks good. however, i would remove the dex from the 6:00 up the protein and add a tbsp of flax, switch the beef burger to tuna and mayo, and switch white rice to brown. it still looks pretty good though. and why do u wake up at 3:45 a.m. thats nutz

**gio86** · 07-28-2005, 09:00 PM

i would go with brown rice

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 09:11 PM

yes i know it is nuts...i have work @ 6 AM thats why...remove the dex no good huh i feel it gives me a good boost b4 i lift..and the burgers no good huh i love beef it only has 8g fat per 3oz no good still huh?

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 09:15 PM

how many total grams of fat should i b shooting towards per day??

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 09:21 PM

i just added it up comes to like 90grams a day doesnt that seem kinda high for a cutting diet??

**dr.shred** · 07-28-2005, 09:46 PM

do not remove the dex why on earth would you want to do that.

**305GUY** · 07-28-2005, 10:02 PM

he has a pre workout shake w/ dex and a pwo shake with dex. do you recommend having 2 shakes with dex?

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 10:14 PM

If he's trying to cut up, then remove the dex b4 training, but DO NOT after training. I wouldnt take it before training either way, but thats just me.

exactly

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 10:27 PM

yea im tryin to cut up,ill give it a try without it and see how my workout is....

also guys umm sorry for keep askin but doesnt my fat intake seem kinda high???

**305GUY** · 07-28-2005, 10:31 PM

90 grams is a little on the high side for me. i'm sure some people can cut w/ 90 fat grams but i wouldn't. lower it to 50-65 IMO.

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 10:50 PM

maybe throw a pro/carb meal in there to drop the fat intake???

**305GUY** · 07-28-2005, 10:53 PM

yep, make sure its good carbs such as green veggies

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 10:53 PM

how else would i drop the fat intake to around 60

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 10:54 PM

so say 12:00 just have chicken and like 2 cups veggies no fat?

**D9S0M** · 07-28-2005, 11:13 PM

anyone else??

**flex99** · 07-28-2005, 11:23 PM

Stick with the white rice as for its glycemic index is through the roof. very good simple carbs easy to burn wont get stored. add up your total calories and keep your fat around 20% of the total calories, you should be fine. and remember try to stay away from saturated fat because your body has a hard time breaking down naturally.

**damian** · 07-30-2005, 04:05 PM

sorry guys...but i HAVE to ask...what is dex?

**flex99** · 07-30-2005, 08:48 PM

dextrose, alt. to sugar (sucrose)

**G-Force** · 08-02-2005, 04:13 AM
