Diet Help

[Mr.Biggs]

I've got 4 weeks left of my cycle and I think I need to change my diet from eating anything I can fit in my mouth(mostly carbs and protein) to a different approach. I would like to go more of a lean mass/cutting diet than what I was doing. This is what I was thinking.

Stats-
height-5ft4inches
weight-170#s
Test E 500mgs ew

Non workout days

Meal #1
5 egg whites
1 scoop of protein
1tbs flax oil

Meal #2
8oz chicken breast
2tbs natty peanut butter

Meal #3
2 cans of tuna
1.5 tbs flax oil

Meal #4
16 oz chicken breast
2tbs natty peanut butter

Meal #5
8 oz turkey breast
1.5 tbs flax oil

Meal #6
2 scoops of protein
2 tbs natty peanut butter

about 3,000 calories, almost 50/50 between protein and fat

Workout days same as above except

PWO
2 scoops protein (46g)
90 grams Maltodexterin

PPWO
16 oz chicken
1 package of brown rice(76 grams of carbs)


I do 25mins of cardio monday-friday on an empty stomach. I know after cardio I should have a protein/fat meal. Should I make my second meal a protein/carb so I at least have some carbs on non-workout days. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

So you were eating anything you wanted for your cycle, now w/a mere 4 weeks left you are going to try to cut? On T.E. of all things?

I was eating everything I was supposed but not the right quantities.I was eating roughly 4,000kcals. I've gained 20 pounds in 6 weeks but my lower abs have disapeared. I know that when you bulk you gain bodyfat. I've gained enough to be able to feel it when I sit down and I don't like it. I guess I'm not trying to cut but I'm trying to limit the amount of fat I put on from here on. I have Test/Tren/Winny cycle to help me cut starting in the middle of May.

C'mon Swole, educate me

The approach you have listed looks good, just make sure the amounts are right for you and your goals, and just track your progress, use pics as a guide, etc.

Are you talking about the amount of calories per day? Should I lower them some? Raise them?

I don't see anything glaringly wrong with your diet. I think what Swole is saying is that you need to track your own progress. Use this diet for a couple of weeks and compare your stats. Did you gain weight? Lose weight? Bodyfat? Lean mass? Once you see how this diet effects your body, you can start to make small changes to dial it in.

yep everyones metabolics rates differ, otherwise diets would just be cookiecutter progs for everyone

[Mr.Biggs]

Thanks everyone. I'll try it for a while and see how it goes.

are there any carbs in there?

Something sticks out to me like a sore thumb:

25 minutes of cardio? Bump that to 45 minutes at the very least and like said above, just track your daily Kcals as you go and i would suggest using a site like www.fitday.com to help you do this and adjust as needed.
