Diet critque

[IronPumper80]

Im hittin up a cuttin cycle and am planning on taking in about 2000 cal per day. broken down like this:

730am-cyto shake 700 cal/56g protein
1030am-lean protien/flax 300 cal 30g protien
130pm -lean protien 300 cal 30g protein
500pm lean protien 300 cal 30 g protein
700pm workout
900 pwo shake 60g protein carb/flax 400 cal

How does this look??

Looks horrid!

Actually, it does need work. Check the sticky above for some tips/tricks and implement some of those techniques and tricks into your layout.

Protein only meals are no good, and your pwo meal should never have flax in it. Also, what is protein carbs 60........is that 60 grams of each, of a mix, etc??? Two pwo meals is usually optimal for glycogen replinishment as well. Let us not forget how important cardio is, as I see no mention of that here.

I cut and pasted this from another thread but anyways....

Basic diet format that is mentioned is this, read thoroughly in the above sticky by rambo.
Heres my recommended way to handle it...
Cardio
Meal 1: P/F
Meal 2: P/F
Meal 3: P/F
Meal 4: P/F
Workout
Meal 5: P/C PWO meal 1 - shake
Meal 6: P/C PWO meal 2 - food

Days you dont workout make it P/F Meals 1-4 and 6, and on meal 5 do protein with a small carb load of 1/4-1/2 cup of rice or oatmeal....

Absolutely Lethal...that is a good summary of Rambo's post, you should save that as like a quick reference guide so when people ask about it you can lay it out for them quickly..then hopefully they will still look at the guide above to construct their own diet.

I know i should be doin cardio in the ambut how does this llok for a nigh cardio? Am im takin not enough cals...this is my proposed diet for my cutting cycle. Im 5'10 190 18%bf...What u think?

[fritz2435]

hmmm i dunno if i could handle the 45 min cardio right after a nice big shake... I think it'd be better to do your cardio in the morning on an empty stomach

[bigsd67]

a few suggestions in caps, that is what i basically follow and am enjoying great success.

7am-Shake 310 cal 30 g protein 40 carbs Glutamine
10am- 6oz chix 330 cal 62g protein/veggies EFA120 cal
1pm –tuna2cans 360 cal 55g protein/veggies
MAYONE USE ONE CAN BUT THROW IN SOME MORE HEALTHY FATS HERE THIS WILL PUT YOU AT 270G PROTEIN WHICH IS A GOOD NUMBER. YOU SHOULD SHOOT FOR 1.5G OF PROTEIN PER LB OF LEAN MASS.
4pm-turkey breast 6 oz 270cal 60 protien
HAVE A HALF SERVING OF NUTS OR SOMETHING. PROTEIN BY ITSELF IS MORE OR LESS WASTED.
530pm glutamine
630 workout
730 pwo shake 540 cal 66g protein 25 carbs
SWITCH THOSE NUMBERS YOU NEED TWICE THE CARBS THAN YOU DO PROTEIN IN PWO. I PERSONALLY USE 60G CARBS 30G PROTEIN AND HAVE LOST A GOOD AMOUNT OF FAT AND STAYED STRONG. DONT FEAR CARBS AT PWO TIME
800pm cardio 45mins
MOVE THIS TO THE MORNING ON AN EMPTY STOMACH TO FACILITATE MAXIMUM FAT LOSS.
930 pm whole grain pita20g carbs /can of tuna(lean protein) EFA 120cals
I WOULD SAY TAKE THIS EFA DOSE WITH YOUR TWO CANS OF TUNA ABOVE OR WITH YOUR TURKEY BREAST. EVEN THOUGH IT'S LATE YOU NEED POST WORKOUT CARBS WITH PROTEIN AND MINIMUM TO ZERO FATS SO A PPWO CARB/PROTEIN MEAL IS OPTIMAL TO CONTINUE FEEDING MUSCLE.
10pm sleep


cals=2100 cals 303 protien 85g carbs

I know i should be doin cardio in the ambut how does this llok for a nigh cardio? Am im takin not enough cals...this is my proposed diet for my cutting cycle. Im 5'10 190 18%bf...What u think?

[usualsuspect]

I would bump up the calories a little and rely on morning cardio to rid the fat. Try to get away with as many calories as possible while running a hypocaloric diet (losing around 1-2lbs a week on average). I would say start around 2500 cals/day and then if neccessry drop a 100cals a week until the fat loss is steady.

Ps If morning cardio is not feasible everyday, hit cardio immediately after your workout for at least 20mins on training days and do empty stomach cardio on non-training days.
