How much sugar should I eat a day on a cutting diet?

**spywizard** · 10-02-2005, 01:42 PM

i eat as little as possible..

only dextrose in my pwo meal..

i mean no sugar in sauces, tic tac nothing..

Majority of sugars I get are from fruits eaten either morning or early afternoon. And PWO ofcourse.

i second that

)

yea..it's actually pretty easy... if you cut carbs (anything bread) the only carbs i get is from veggies, some brown rice which i hate, and some grits (this is a cheat)

i can get to almost 0 carbs.. ( i mean sugars)

stay away from ketchup mustard is better

0carbs??? or 0 simple carbs? How many total carbs do you shoot for during the day?

spywizzard, how long do you do 0 carbs? do you have carb load days? Does fresh fruit ever have a place in your diet? Does that mean your in ketosis most of the time?

**IBdmfkr** · 10-02-2005, 03:22 PM

I think he meant 0 sugars, but I'm not sure. Wouldn't think he would do 0carbs.

you need sugar with what ??????

aren't you cutting ?

pow meal has dex, and that is it

**IBdmfkr** · 10-02-2005, 09:47 PM

Calm down Texas, he asked a simple question.

I do not have 0 carb days..

i always have at least 3 servings of veggies.. normally broc..

1 cheat meal a week.. usually a carb load.. a sweet potato.. with steak and broc

if i do end up eating simple carbs.. i take Rala..

Do you mind posting up a typical week. For ex.
Mon: protein 350grams, Carbs 150grams, fat 40 grams.
Tues: etc.
This is strictly for cutting I suppose. Looks almost like a precomp. diet.

**spywizard** · 10-02-2005, 10:20 PM

typical meal

it's pretty boring.. but i am able to stick to i..

when cutting..

m1. 6 eggs (egg beaters) 1 cup oats
m2 40 grams protein shake, with flax
m3 1 chicken breast 1/2 cup rice
exercise
m4 pwo 40grams protein/dex
m5 1 chicken breast 1/2 broc
m6 12-16 oz steak usually with olive oil or butter
m7 shake 40grams protein/flax

at anytime during the day i get hungry, i will double the amount of chicken that is in the next meal..

if hungry before bed, i will have an additional protein shake/flax..

i also like the atkins protein shake advantage $31 for 12 cans

this is not what i use for the above diet.. but is convenient when running out the door, and the taste satisfies..

20g protein
1g sugar
5 carbs

Thanks for the info. What your stats spy? age weight BF. Should be pretty damn lean with this diet. I personally could not maintain my bodyweight with this few calories. I wish.

**spywizard** · 10-02-2005, 10:25 PM

5'9" 214 44 yrs old..

still about 12% bf now.. but should go under 10% by christmas..

I really struggle with diet as i travel alot.. but when i am on, it can get really boring..

but man does this diet work..

**IBdmfkr** · 10-02-2005, 10:27 PM

Just not near enough calories, I'll try a similar approach but I'd have to double the carbs. You also have 20yrs on me, so the metabolism is my nemesis.

**spywizard** · 10-02-2005, 10:29 PM

yea.. time is a killer..

if you want to drop it quick. i love taking t3, and since i am running Gh at the same time.. i have having some great results..

warning.. if you take t3... you should be taking var or test at the same time..

**spywizard** · 10-02-2005, 10:30 PM

also, let me point out..

the meals i do have alot of lemon in them, most sauces have alot of sugar...which is what we are trying to avoid..

good luck

**IBdmfkr** · 10-02-2005, 10:31 PM

Appreciate it. I'm bulking for 4-5 more weeks and then I'm gonna totally scrap my diet and start from scratch, I think I will base it off of what you listed, thanks for the help.

**spywizard** · 10-02-2005, 10:39 PM

good luck man.. mine is most basic..

when you get to doing it.. check in the diet forum.. Swolecat has some great examples of macro adjustment to diets to continue weight lose.. or rather fat lose..

**IBdmfkr** · 10-02-2005, 10:46 PM

My biggest challenge will be to lose weight and maintain 100% of my LBM. It has to do with very precise calculations. I just have to play with the numbers until I find the right combination.

**mitch911** · 10-03-2005, 08:19 AM

wheres the ppwo carbs ?

**IBdmfkr** · 10-03-2005, 08:28 AM

They are not essential for growth, You want to get carbs in directly after workout but usually even my meal 1 hour after workout is high in protein and moderate carbs.
