WHAT DO YOU MEAN 1-2 SCOOPS? I WOULD SAY 2 SCOOPS (46G) OTHERWISE OK

10:00 meal 2- 1 can tuna/1 tbls flax
OK, IF YOU GET TIRED OF THE FLAX, ADD 1 TBSP FULL FAT MAYO

12:00 meal 3- 6oz chicken/1 cup broccoli
WHY 2 HOURS LATER AND NOT 3? SCHEDULE CONFLICT? WHERE IS YOUR FAT?
3:00 meal 4- 6oz chicken/1/2 cup brown rice/1 tbls flax
DROP THE RICE IN THIS MEAL AN KEEP IT PRO/FAT

6:00 meal 5 PWO- 2 scoop whey/ 5 rice cakes
RICE CAKES? DROP IT AND GET SOME DEX OR OATS

7:00 meal 6- 8oz chicken/ 1/2 cup brown rice
OK

9:00 meal 7- 2 scoop whey/ 1 tbls all natural PB
OK

IMO, FATS ARE A LITTLE LOW TO BEGIN WITH, REMEMBER YOU CAN ALWAYS TWEAK MACROS, CARBS LOOK GOOD FOR A WORKOUT DAY IMO

Non Workout Day

3:00 meal 4- 6oz chicken/1 tbls flax

6:00 meal 5- 8oz chicken/ 1/2 cup brown rice
I WOULD DROP THE CARBS AND MAKE THIS PRO/FAT ON A NON WORKOUT DAY, THIS MIGHT WORK FOR YOU...MAYBE TRY PRO/FAT AND SEE WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU PERSONALLY

BLUE

Workout Day

12:00 meal 3- 6oz chicken/1 cup broccoli
WHY 2 HOURS LATER AND NOT 3? SCHEDULE CONFLICT? WHERE IS YOUR FAT?
WHY DO I NEED FAT HERE?
If you dont have an energy source (carbs OR fat) with your protein then the protein will be converted to energy which isn't the most efficient of processes...plus, you will be burning more protein and less fat. so yeah, i would add some fat.

3:00 meal 4- 6oz chicken/1/2 cup brown rice/1 tbls flax
DROP THE RICE IN THIS MEAL AN KEEP IT PRO/FAT
I ADDED THE RICE SO I WOULD HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO WORKOUT AT 4
A pro/carb meal will help your energy leves...but i'd take the fat out. not a great idea to mix macros while cutting.

6:00 meal 5 PWO- 2 scoop whey/ 5 rice cakes
RICE CAKES? DROP IT AND GET SOME DEX OR OATS
DONT LIKE DEX AND RICE CAKES ARE MORE CONVIENT THAN OATS
i think you should keep the rice cakes...they're fine.

Non Workout Day

12:00 meal 3- 6oz chicken/1 cup broccoli
WHERE IS YOUR FATS?
WHY DO I NEED FATS HERE?
see above

3:00 meal 4- 6oz chicken/1 tbls flax

6:00 meal 5- 8oz chicken/ 1/2 cup brown rice
I WOULD DROP THE CARBS AND MAKE THIS PRO/FAT ON A NON WORKOUT DAY, THIS MIGHT WORK FOR YOU...MAYBE TRY PRO/FAT AND SEE WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU PERSONALLY
IF I DROP THE CARBS HERE WONT THAT BE TOO LOW?i agree, your carbs would be a little low to start off with, i would keep the rice but i would move it to earlier in the day. If your fat loss starts to slow this is the first thing i would take out.

In addition to what steve0 mentioned...green tea, or cofee will help with your energy levels. i have my last cup at around 12 or 1pm and im good for my workout at 4.

**Panzerfaust** · 02-16-2006, 11:21 PM

I would not have a pro/carb 1 hour before the gym, do you honestly think it will make a difference? You would'nt get anything from it within an hour..its all mental.

As far as rice cakes, well to each his own.

**xtinaunasty** · 02-16-2006, 11:36 PM

I think its another preference thing...I notice a total difference. Even if it is mental, it makes me THINK I can lift heavier...which is the first step right

**C_Bino** · 02-17-2006, 01:33 AM

Only thing I would say is you may wanna add soem variety to your diet. Maybe egg whites, another type of fish, lean beef...you are using a lot of whey, I would take some out and put another meal with a full food.

actualy it makes a huge difference bro. having protein and carbs in the blood stream while you work out is KEY. it alows for energy and muscle repair to start instantly. and an hour is plenty of time to digest it b4 the WO.

the reason i didnt notice this the first time is because u didnt include the time of your WO only time of PWO shake.

**steve0** · 02-17-2006, 12:44 PM

wheres the ECA stack ??

**STRANGE** · 02-18-2006, 01:38 PM

ive been taking caffeine pills but there just not enough prob 200mg in the morning and 200 before workout

I have t3 laying around and was orignally gona take it with this diet but i figured i would try without it but now im thinkin i should take it to speed up the process what is ur opinon on that. I am on test tren and eq so i dont think i will have to worry about loosing any muscle mass.

**LAGMuXle** · 02-18-2006, 01:58 PM

One thing I have noticed from personal experience is that the amount of good, dark, organic vegetables you intake during the day will effect your overall energy/perfomance and "feeling" or "mood" throughout.

Keep your intake of dark veggies up and this may help your energy. I know there is no scientific data that may prove this to be true, but it's just a personal experience note.

Good Luck,
