Rate My Diet & Help Me Modify It.

[hell911]

pls rate my diet plan, i want it to be cheap and less cooking.

if you have any suggestions, pls post it..

height: 5'7"
weight: 127lb
4 days workout per week





i am going to cook the rice, and mix it with 12 eggs = similar to fried rice

Cost per week: around $31.76 -- (if there is sale, much cheaper)

Total macros per day
cal === 2894
protein === 130
carbs === 371

[hell911]

anyone help, will this diet work?

[Mr. Small]

Not sure if the carb/protein ratio is ok. I would increase the protein and decrease the carbs, but that might be a personal thing with me. Vegtables/greens etc? Fish oils?

Might need to lay out meal 1 to 6 in a bit more detail for people to chime in here.

At the top you say you are consuming 2499 cals and then lower down you are consuming 2894 cals.

[hell911]

at the top, it is the calories i need to bulk.

at bottom is the sum of calories i got from food. ( i know it is way too much increase)

[Mr. Small]

I shot for the 2900 cals a couple of years ago starting at 154lbs or so and gained too much fat.
You need to trim some cals somewhere. lol

[hell911]

1. is the calories and carbs from rice correct? 2 cups, 1224 cals, 268 carbs.

2. can u help me modify the diet? i need to reduce calories and increase protein.

3. why would u want to reduce carbs? and, how many?

[LbforLb152]

Research how many carbs are in a cup of rice. Eat like a 150-160 lb person to add weight. Have high carb days and low carb days to shock the system, but get plenty of them. Experiment. Carb up carb deplete. Healthy fats. Might want to keep them somewhat low, many choose to do different in different situations.. I'd have 3 solid meals and two or three snacks in the perfect world. Good luck hope that helped a little

[Mr. Small]

1. is the calories and carbs from rice correct? 2 cups, 1224 cals, 268 carbs. Depends on the size of your cup.....do some weighing yourself to be exact

2. can u help me modify the diet? i need to reduce calories and increase protein. If you need to trim cals, then cut carbs as your protein is low enough

3. why would u want to reduce carbs? and, how many? You have 3 times more carbs than protein, maybe even them up

Work out some figures and individual meals

@tarmyg
is this calculator REALIABLE?? IIFYM Calculator

because it says i need about 380g of carbs, dont u think that is too high, and it says i need only around 130g of protein, this amount of protein will be enough to gain muscle?

@mr small

i followed that amount of carbs because the IIFYM calculator said so, if that is not correct, then i should stop using that calculator..

-----------

also, as i posted before, i will be mixing all the eggs with 2 cups of rice (egg fried rice), and split them into few meals in a day, will cook 1 time in a day to save time.

[tarmyg]

The automatic meal planner will do this for you.

Lol......i was going to advise you to post this question on the gbrice75 thread on here, but you already did.

It was gbrice75 himself that said that 130g protein was enough.......sooooooo..........he is the nutrition guru around here, he is probably right.

[hell911]

is this amount of rice safe to eat with 10 eggs per day?

(will eat 2 cups of rice everyday)
long grain uncooked rice
1cup = 185g = 6.5 ounces
675g calories
148g carbs
13g protein

[--->>405<<---]

what is ur bf%?

are you male?

you are measuring all ur food raw/dry right?

what do u mean is it safe to eat with eggs?

what does ur finalized complete diet look like right now including total cals and macros?

[hell911]

what is ur bf%? around 18?

are you male? male.

new plan.. this is like 3 meals per day.

[-KJ-]

new plan.. this is like 3 meals per day.

Bro... Lay out a meal plan, meal 1, 2 etc with macros for each meal it's easier to critique understand and comment on.

From looking at that, your eating three types of foods, rice, eggs and chick peas, correct?

I know your light at 127lbs but at 18% id recommend a slow cut getting use to the workouts and movements and then bulk but it's your choice.

What age are you?

[hell911]

^
meal plan is to cook all those 3 food items at once, and divide them into 3 meals. total 2500+ calories.

and yes, 3 types of food, but ofcourse i can eat other foods with it, but the food listed above is the MAIN.

age 22

3 foods is not a healthy diet plan at all pal. Ok granted the foods are clean, 3 food choices is unhealthy and will lead to boredom on your diet.

Boredom part I understand but why is it not healthy?

IMO opinion three food sources although sustainable, in the long term are not healthy, I guess variety will help with nutrient deficiencies.

[hell911]

well, what i can do is eat all those 3 foods for certain amount of time (few months) for bulking up, when i will go to cutting phase, i can just change diet.

for now, i think this is good plan? correct?

and about boredom, i can just eat a slice of pizza or something every 4-5 days.

The most important thing if you are not having variety in your diet is to make sure you really like the choices you are giving yourself and you can do things to spice up your food like using different seasonings etc. I pretty much eat the same food choices during the work week just because of my time restraints but on my days off I change up the food choices but make sure to hit the same macros as during the work week. I not a big fan of cheat meals either but I do not have a sweet tooth. My cheat meals are about eating more if what I normally eat and get the sensation of being full

This is good advice. Maybe every few days change up your protein source just for a change.

Also incorporate a multi.

Absolutely that's easy enough to do by just preparing most of your protein for the week on you day off

Yeah I do mine 2x weekly, place them in little bags and take as needed. It's very convenient.

I use the little Tupperware containers Keeps everything very fresh for 5 days. Makes life very easy and thats what we need to do. Most of this lifestyle that people take for granted is the food that we eat. Training is the easy part for me

Absolutely. Think about it, you're spending ~ an hour a day working out. The remainder of the day has to be dedicated to making the diet and rest work. The gym is the easy part.

aren't multivitamins a waste?

-----------------------
also, im already eating 6oz of rice everyday with 800g of chickpeas, and few eggs, if i bump it up, i think i can handle it.

Why would a multi be a waste?

[tarmyg]

aren't multivitamins a waste?

Yes, COMPLETLY!!!

Vitamins should be take if you have an actual deficit and targeted towards where the deficit is.

Why are you only eating rice, chic peas and eggs? What about meat and veggies? Who doesn't have chicken or tuna in there diet. That's that good shit...

[hell911]

both eggs and chicken have protein. so don't you think i can eat either of those.

They do both have protein, but variety in diet is a better diet. It's a lifestyle change. Chicken and eggs will have different amino acid profiles, I get my protein from fish, eggs, tuna, chicken, beef.
