Herb..i honestly no longer want to compete.

I feel like shit...my strength's dropped by half...i feel soft AND small..and flat...and frustrated.

Guess i'm feeling whiny too

[*Narkissos*]

I'm going to compete still...

Makes no sense having already thrown away all that size to get down to this weight...and then decide NOT to compete.

I'm adjusting my diet from tomorrow morning:

Estimating LBM @ 170 lbs:

Calories @ 12 kcal per lb LBM: 2040 kcal

Pro @ 1gr per lb-->170 gr (680 kcal)
Carb @ 1 gr per lb--> 170 gr (680 cal)

The remaining calories alotted to fat: 680 kcal--> appr. 76 gr fat

Split over 5 meals:

Meals 1; 4(PWO); 5(PPWO)--> pro/carb
Meals 2; 3;--> pro/fat

PWO ratio: protein (.4 gr per lb LBM...i.e. 42 gr)-carb: 1:2

I'd tired as hell tho.

How many more days you got?

I'm three weeks out

[*Narkissos*]

How many calories are you taking in Herb?

I'm using 12 kcal per lb LBM..but i'm reading other places that maintenance shoudl be 14 calories per kcal..which i think is to high

[*Narkissos*]

I'm hungry...heading offline for my PPWO meal.

Holla at me Herb

How many more days you got?

I'm three weeks out

First show is the 13th, then Im hoping to peak on the 20th for a national qualifier.


Well, my cal. count is unknown..LOL...i'm a firm believer in listening to your body and not getting too specific when it comes to calculating carloric intake. I eat around 7 times a day..mainly chicken brest, egg whites , salmon, lettuce, broc., flaxseed oil, oatmeal(breakfast)...

Just keep going guys, in the end it will be all worth it...and DO NOT cut those carbs too low...it will be very difficult to carb up if you do, DO NOT GET to depleted...as a matter of fact if you guys are in the 4-5% BF, i would sudgest a practive fat/load sme type a meal i recomend for Saturday fat load in my carb/fat load strategy...god luck to both of you!
