    There seems to be alot of pb sandwiches! I would add some proper sources of protein pre-workout.

    I would drop the skimmed milk and pb from meal one too. Maybe brown rice in your PPWO meal instead of bread?

    Whelp..3 weeks in, up 4lbs on a good day, but my abs are starting to fade....getting stronger, but depressed about the stomach.

    Why would 4lbs make me lose definition?

    i was a little shocked myself...you look a lil bigger in your avatar.

    Anyway I have been reading your posts for a while and you've never been shy about eating it up, bulking right, etc. I think that is great! Of course you will lose your abs somewhere along the way, you are gaining a lot of weight. muscle and fat. Unless you want to bulk for a year and not lose your abs, I think you're on the right track. Besides, once you DO begin your cut, the weight will come off quite a bit easier. You will be both mentally and physically ready to cut at that point. Enjoy the bulk!

    In my avat. I was close to 220....lol.............4 years ago. Cut hard (and wrong) lost strength size and an appetite restricting cals and carbs to get a six pack and train for a tri.

    Now I am paying for it.....scared to lose the abs. Gear? I'm 168 as of yesterday at 6'2, and on 200mg a week of test enth due to low natty test.

    I dont think I should hit a cycle until I'm at least 190, agreed?

    Cut cardio down to 1-2x a week MAX, instead of 7 times a week..........

    What does one do? Slam the cals? like I said, havent cheated in years, no fast food, ni pizza.....prob. 3 beers in 3 years........I can coach others but fail when applying it to myself........matter of fact, I think I've eaten the same meals for 3 years straight.

    TODAY
    3/4 CUP OATS
    1 CUP EGG WHITES
    SOME BERRIES
    1/2 SCOOP WHEY AND COFFEE

    HALF TUB DRY CURD
    20-30 PEANUTS AND ALMONDS.......


    2 MEALS DOWN.

    1 C Egg Whites
    1/3 Cup oat bran, 1/3 cup rolled oats -
    1 cup of skim milk
    1 whole banana instead
    2 tbsp of natty peanut butter

    930
    need another protein source maybe 1scoop whey or 5 eggwhite or something
    half a small tub of dry curd cottage cheese - 225 grams
    10 shelled peanuts 10 almonds
    green tea
    1/2 pb sandwhich on ww

    noon
    7oz chicken and lean beef
    7oz yam
    half of a large salad
    1/2 pb sandwhich on whole wheat

    300
    1/2 cup oats
    1 scoop whey
    coffee - skim
    good give it alteast 2hrs to digest, you want maximum blood in your muscles when you train and not in your gut for digestion. Caffiene only lasts 3hrs so drink the milk now and save the coffee for 45min preworkout and ONLY COFFEE with maybe some amino's. If u drink coffee at 3 ur gonna crash in midst of your training session. if you dont feel like your crashing its because you have grown acustome to the crash and u will notice quite a difference if u time your caffiene intake preworkout.

    i strongly reccommend ALCAR, aminos, CEE, AAKG, and green tea 30-40min pre workout.


    500
    TRAIN

    PW shake on training days.....Dext/whey

    730
    i would add 8-12oz of lactose free skim milk
    1 cup egg whites
    2 pieces of ww bread

    900
    get some Acacia Powder (its a fiber supplement that is VERY VERY EFFECTIVE AND HEALTHY)
    CASEIN SHAKE WITH ALMONDS, CC, PEANUTS
    or Muscle milk shae if I dont feel like eating taking to bed!
    thanks bros

    To be honest, the only real input you said was to do daily cardio (which is a backwards step in my goals, one that I've done for years, and frankly I need all the energy I can muster up being so light)...I walk my dog in the freezing snow for a mile each morning.....plenty.)

    To add milk, which is ok, but i get enough dairy......

    and to take 2 hours before my meal and training....which I do, but it's 1/2 cup of oats....it's about 40g max of carbs, i'm sure it's digested within an hour bro......

    coming from a diet of 8,000 (which is an extreme IMHO), I do appreciate the help, but you gotta come harder than that!

    I think its a good idea to hold off for now...you have a lot of natural potential at your height/weight. I would try and hold off until at least 200, if not more.

    Cut cardio down to 1-2x a week MAX, instead of 7 times a week..........

    you could probably even get away with three days...as long as the intensity is low. i wouldnt go longer than 30mins though.

    What does one do? Slam the cals? like I said, havent cheated in years, no fast food, ni pizza.....prob. 3 beers in 3 years........I can coach others but fail when applying it to myself........matter of fact, I think I've eaten the same meals for 3 years straight.

    weren't you the one that started the "Cheat Day Thread"? I could swear you always talk about going to jack in the box, etc. Is this someone else?
    Diet looks good so far, but I hope you DO cheat every couple days. Just think. you eat probably 42-56 clean meals per week. 1 or 2 cheat meals isn't going to make or break you. Cheat while you can, cuz CUTTING SUCKS!!

    ok, you walk your dog.. thats great.. but a mile is like 10 min >< say you do 30min in the morning and u burn 400 cals but u free up some fatty acids and help your stamina.. HOW hard do you think it is to replenish that 400 cals.. especially when almost ALL OF IT came from fatty reserves which is great since its not going to use ketone bodies for fuel?

    dairy is not the point .. its the caesin protein im concerned about.. its very very beneficial and yes its noted that you take caesin protein pre bed as well but i was trying to suggest a simple p/c supplement that had a different break down time other than that of speedy ass eggwhites that you could add to that meal.. its looks TINY.

    sure if i get time today i kan throw down all the food u plan to eat get a nutrtional break down for ya then find out what we need to add and where...

    btw im not a big fan of salads when bulking they make you feel more full than you really are
    probably be better off w/ some spiniche or green beans

    Whelp I've done this diet for 3 weeks now, no cheat meals, nothing in substitute, just what it states. Off/cardio days I switch the last 3pm of oats to tuna. Scale has move 2-3lbs and I just feel more bloated. Think my cals are too low?

    7am -
    1 C Egg Whites
    1/4 cup steel cut, 1/3 rolled dry measure -
    1 cup of skim milk (low carb)
    2 strawberries, 10 blueberries, 10 raszberries

    930
    half a small tub of dry curd cottage cheese - 225 grams
    10 shelled peanuts 10 almonds
    green tea

    noon
    7oz chicken and lean beef
    7oz yam
    half of a large salad


    300
    1/2 cup oats
    1 scoop whey
    coffee - skim

    500
    TRAIN

    No shake
    730
    1 cup egg whites
    2 pieces of ww bread

    900
    CASEIN SHAKE WITH ALMONDS, CC, PEANUTS
    or Muscle milk shae if I dont feel like eating taking to bed!
    thanks bros

    someone said toss in 2-3 pb sandwhichs a day, good idea?
    should I have a PW shake and then have oats and egg whites right before bed instead of my fats/protein shake?

    I'm in bed by 9pm, training ends at 6:30pm....so I have time for two meals MAX!

    bro the bloat is from the carbs .. u store 4grams of water per 1gram of glycogen plus your body is trying to maintain equilibrium in its osmotic pressure. usually from dextrose/milk/ and some breads/oats.

    pb is a good fat not much for protein though... not fond of putting it on bread.. better put w/ whey to slow down the whey absorbtion

    WHY no SHAKE?! especially when bulking.. LIFTING will induce a catabolic effect on the body best shunt that w/ some speedy carbs and very bio.av. protein i.e. whey or cooked eggwhites.

    1hr after your pwo shake eat oats and whites.. thats perfect ppwo IMO and for better results throw in 2 glasses of milk for some casein and faster carbs this will help bring a lil ballance to ur last meal of the day and give ur body something to gnaw on while it rests.

    brb tan time

    WHY no pb sandwhich on TOP of my meals???? good extra cals, no? fat gain? I also have 5 cases of FREE Detour bars..should I use?

    Training at 630pm - shake

    meal at 730 of carbs and protein

    and then a muscle milk shake at 9pm.....too many cals in a short period?

    pb is fine just a but load of fat but as long as you are taking it w/ protein that has a complete amino profile such as whey or a good meat it will be fine.

    that is alot of cals in a short time so u have 2 options.. make ur meal at 730 fairly large so that u can goto bed an hour later and be fine or eat a tiny meal right before bed of fat/pro..
