Help with diet, nothing to extreme

[Coolhand5599]

I am 40 yo 24% bf and dropping. I am looking to build muscle but not get huge. I just want to look and feel better. My Dr. Put me on HGH and test for medical reasons. And I want to make the most of it. I do not want a crazy diet. I do not want to be a body builder.


This is my current diet
8 am syntha 6 shake, workout , 9:30 post workout shake, 11:30 handfull of mixed nuts, 12:30 grilled chick sandwich or six in sub with wheat. 2:00 ISO 100 shake, 3:30 whey shot and hand full of nuts, 5:00 iso 100 shake 6:30 home cooked meal meat and veg. No carb no butter.

Well First look you are not eating enough and too many shakes are involved.
Lifting weights and eating a sound diet wont make you huge and a body bulder. much more goes into it.

Whats your stats? Height, weight, etc...
Whats your workout like? Weights/cardio and for how long?
Whats your main goal? Lose fat or build muscle. Personally you should look to cut at 24%.

Work out your TDEE and post up your diet.
Example: BMR = 66 + (9.6 x weight in kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) - (4.7 x age in years)

to get TDEE multiply by and activity level depending on activity. 1.55 would be good.

When you do this get back on here.

Good Luck
