This is the diet i have been following for the past ten weeks
im 5'8 around 158lbs
i lift doggcrapp style three days a week and am fairly inactive out of the gym with work and school...
meal one workout days
2 scoops protein
40g dextrose
40g maltodextrin
meal one non workout days
2 scoops protein 5 egg white
1 cup oats
meal two
6oz chicken (weighed after cooking)
1.5 cups brown rice
meal three
6oz chicken
1.5 cups brown rice
meal four
8oz lean beef
1/4 cup walnuts
meal five
1.5 cans tuna
2tbs full fat mayo
meal six
3 scoops protein
1 tbs olive oil
i belive this comes out to be around 3100 cals, 300 grams protein, 200 carbs and 60 grams of fat...might be off by a little but fairly close. i eat veg with most meals but never the same so i didnt include them in the list. I take r-ala with all my carb meals except pwo. meal one is the meal that changes on work out days.
I seem to be gaining only fat. according to my bf scale i went form 148 at 11% to 158 at 15-16%. im gaining strenght rapidly...going up five pounds in 95% of all exercises every time so i feel i should be getting some lbm but again i def look fatter and my scale says im getting fatter.
so heres where i need help. using the harris-elliot exel sheet, it says i should be consuming 2600-2900 cals roughly. should i make changes to my diet to fit into this calorie range?..if so what should i change?.. also, im presently not doing cardio. would it be a better idea to leave the diet the way it is and add two or three am walking sessions?
anything would be really helpful...sorry for the lenghty post.
