problems with diet please read

what up guys i have been on my cutting diet for ever when i started i was 187 arund 15% bf i got down to 177 i was under 8 % looking ripped then i crashed and strted to gain a little weight back but not much just a pound or two but then i got soft and a little flabby i can only see my abbs when they are pumped from a workout the tinita machine at the gym says im around 10 % bf i should still be lookin ripped ??? right any way i think it could be my leptin but i did a refeed on wednesday and on saturday and i see no changes here is the diet sometimes with meal 4 and 5 i will use sirlion or salmon instead of chicken

meal1 9 egg whites 1/2 cup oats

meal 2 - 1 scoop on's whey 1 tbls flax

meal 3 1 can tuna or 6 oz chicken with 1 1/2 cup broccli

workout

PWO 2 scoop on's whey with Honey


meal 4 9 oz chicken with 1/2 cup brown rice and 1 1/2 cup broccli

meal 5 same as 4 without rice

meal 6 2 scoop ons why with 1 tabl flax

the diet look good bro i dont see what the problem is. I find it hard to believe your getting soft off of that plan.

dude im soft not like mussy soft but i looked harder you could see my abbs all the time now you cannot it's like there is a thin layer of water and fat covering them up i was told my carbs are to low also that my fat is to low so should i up ?? also let me remind you i have been on this diet since April and i did peak out and its like i crashed after that but i should be avle to hold on to something im still lean but my abbs look nothing like they use to and im not a swole as use to be is what im saying

change it bro, re-do the diet. Just like a workout you need to change a diet because your body adapts. Try some new rations of carbs/pro/fat.

since April!!!!!! :eek:
thats 4 months!!!!

I update my diet every 2-4 weeks

the macros seems off...that diet need adjustments

to be honest with u..I didnt count macros and calories only protein , and when i did count the macros and calories...any changes i wanna do are wayy faster

good luck! :)

so you do not think it is leptin hormon F'in with me ??? and how late is to late to take down carbs ??? when you say rearange diet do you mean add or subtract carbs and fats ??

you diet needs work man

you have protein only meals 2 actually

you are getting fat from flax oil only

you do not have ur calories measured

and when i say re-arrange diet i mean when u lose/gain wieght obviously ur weight changes...so u need to re-adjust to the new weight

good luck :wg:

he's right. Your diet needs to be re-adjusted every so often because your body changes constantly. You may not make the same gains you did from a pervious diet now because of the adaptions your body has made.

alright well could i get some sugestions like maybe start useing all natty pb for fats ?? and maybe through down more fatty meat .... i was thinking my self that it was the flax because since i started useing it this has been happing

this is a list of fats to choose from.....dont go crazy with the fats stick to ur dietary needs


The following nutrient-rich traditional fats have nourished healthy population groups for thousands of years:

Butter
Beef and lamb tallow
Lard
Chicken, goose and duck fat
Coconut, palm and sesame oils

The following new-fangled fats can cause cancer, heart disease, immune system dysfunction, sterility, learning disabilities, growth problems and osteoporosis:

thanks Irionfreak anything anyone whants to post would be greatly appriciated im gonna go wqork on my macros will be back soon to post

re vamp diet

meal 1- 10 egg whites 1/2 cup oats

meal 2- 1 scoop whey 1/2 tbls flax or olive oil

meal 3- 1 can tuna, 1 cup veggies, 2 tbls all natty PB

PWO- 2 scoop whey, honey

meal 4- 8oz chicken, 1 cup oats or brown rice, 1 1/2 cup veggies

meal 5- 8oz chicken or fish, 2 cup veggies, 2 tbl all natty pb

meal 6- 2 scoop whey, 1/2 tbls flax or olive oil


macros-- cals-2650, fat-46, pro-316, carbs-100

Id keep it olive oil in meal 2

add saturated fat instead 2 of the 4 tbls of pB

cals seem a bit high..which formula did u use??

what can i use for saturated fat??? i used macrobolic nutrtion, they said i should be takeing down around 3000, and the Jon Berardi site said around 3000 as well so i knocked it down

-butter for saturated fats
-lard
-prok chops
etc...

drop it to 2400..if ur losing too much weight quickly(i highly doub it) or strength

then up the cals a bit

i think im gonna use olive oil in place of flax i know flax is a good fat but ever since i started useing it this has been happing but it could be because it was the only fat i was useing
