where are you getting your EFA's from?

[1buffsob]

where are you getting your EFA's from?

The mixed nuts, natty PB, and occasional egg yolk. Despite popular belief, many people will never use flax oil.

yes sir, my carbs are pretty high (227g) but I'm continuing to drop body fat little by little. When it stops I'll lower the carbs a bit. I love my oats

true, i never used flax on my first cutting diet a few years back, i still had great results

[GUnit33]

Meal 1: Egg Beaters 1/2 cup Oats
Meal 2: 2 Cans Turkey(Small) Flax
Meal 3: 1 Can Chicken(Large) Veggies
Meal 4: 2 Cans Tuna(Small) Flax
Meal 5: 8 oz Steak Sweet Potato
Meal 6: Cottage Cheese Flax (Before Bed)

I'll do my workout in the morning before my meals with pwo cardio, and than I also do cardio in between meal 5 and 6.

Wow! How do you workout with no meals in you?

[GUnit33]

I have no clue, but I always feel energized when I get in the gym after my first warm up set. Plus, I like being at 24 hour at anywhere between 5-7am because all the old people are in there doing cardio, and there aren't any other people on the weights, so it's perfect for supersetting, and just all around lifting, i can get in, get out, go home take a nap and do what i do.

So you workout AND do cardio PWO...... all on an empty stomach? Have you ever heard the expression "Extreme Catabolism"? Then you do cardio in between meals 5 and 6.... AFTER A PRO/CARB MEAL?!?!?!?!

This is, without a doubt, the most ass-backwards diet I have ever seen.

I don't see why I should change, if it's working for me?

[1buffsob]

I guess that would depend on what your definition of "working" is. If your losing some weight, and can see some fat coming off in the mirror, then it's "working".

My definition of a working diet would be where LBM stays the same (or increases) and only bf is lost.

Caliper tests are important for this reason. I seriously doubt the majority of your weightloss is fat.

1buffsob

[GUnit33]

Both my arms and chest are getting bigger, but if I were to change, would one meal in front of my workout suffice? And than do cardio at night on an empty stomach, perhaps after my last meal?

[tinyguy2]

things are all dependant on the individual. do what works for you. there is a billion diets that everyone claims works. why listen to one person that isn't you? who made up this diet swole cat?

[spywizard]

that's alot of eggs... egg beaters, and add some more meat.. i understand the process, and they digestion of the egg.. but damn...

Been away from the board for a few weeks, but Steve-o great call on this thread. It is definately needed. Too many times have I had to tell people to do a search for past diets to work off of. Anyways, here is a diet I have used in the past:

MEAL ONE: PRO/CARB

2/3 Cup (measured dry) oatmeal- add cinnamon and splenda for flavour- (300 cals, 4.2g prot, 50 g carb, 5.0g fat)
12-14 egg whites (204/42/3.5/0)

MEAL TWO: PRO/FAT

8oz of turkey breast - (310/67/0/1)
2 tbsp natural peanut butter - (190/8/4/16)
TOTAL: 500/75/4/17

MEAL THREE: PRO/CARB (PRE-WORKOUT)

8oz of white-meat turkey breast - (310/67/0/1)
¼ cup brown rice (dry) – (160/3/34/4)
TOTAL: 470/70/34/5

WORKOUT

PWO:

Two scoops protein mixed with water (220/46/3/3)
1/2c Dextrose (368/0/92/0)
TOTAL: 588/50/95/3
SOMETIMES I'LL CHANGE THIS UP AND THROW IN A BAGEL AND ADJUST THE DEX AS NEEDED.


MEAL FOUR: PPWO

2 chicken breast (220/48/0/3)
2/3 cup cooked oats (macros in MEAL #1)
TOTAL: 380/51/34/4

MEAL FIVE:

2 cans flaked white tuna (212 cals, 48 g protein, 0 carbs, and 1 g fat.
2tbsp Hellmann's Light Mayonaisse (100 cals, 0 protein, 0 carbs, and 10
grams fat).
TOTAL: 312 calories, 48 g protein, 0 carbs, and 11 g of fat.

MEAL SIX

One scoop casein mixed with water (180/30/4/2)
200 ml liquid pasteurized egg whites (200/20/0/0)
1 Tbsp flaxseed oil (120/0/0/14)
TOTAL: 500/50/4/16

MEAL SEVEN

PRO/FAT...usually varies and is not that large. Unfortunately, this meal sometimes is missed.



DAILY TOTALS: 3080 cals//386g prot/222g carb/75g fat
or,
3500/436/225/100

[TR'05]

oh and also,

6'2" 175-180...fluctuates from day to day.

[TR'05]

Lately, I have been tossing in some serious salmon and lean ground beef burgers as PRO/FAT meals...it's all about mixing it up.

dig your claws into my organs, stretch into my tendons, bury your anchors into my bones, for the power of the warrior will prevail........


i took some caffine b4 workouts to keep me goin. it worked well, although i was not training as heavy and i feel i kept alot of my mass due to lighter weights and a slight increase in training volume

oh right on. Sorry, I was just curious.
This thread is great, maybe newbies will check it out before posting a diet.

[copenhagen]

no need to be sorry bro, we are all here for one reason!

[AlexMty78]

I'm 27, 5'10, 204lb, and not too sure about body fat, but I think it's 24%. I nevery done any type of bolking nor cutting. I'm overweight. Is it OK to start cutting. I want to start one of the diets recomended. Also, I work 8 hours a day, monday thru friday. I can only workout in the morning, and 24 is packed when I get off of work. Should I eat a meal before working out? Thanks.

[Warrior]

Here is mine from earlier this year... it was pretty effective.

[TR'05]

This thread needs to be a sticky. Can a monitor do that up, or what?

It would be a lot easier than Audi having to bump it all the t for the new faces on the board. Right on for bumpin' it, though, Audi. Someone has to do it.

[IBdmfkr]

I will be working with Pinnacle this winter and summer time.

You're in for a treat bro, he has taught me so much in the past few months it is ridiculous. You deff get more than you pay for.

Diets look pretty good, I'd make a few changes to most of them but I'm not going to go through each one and explain why.

You'll look good, so obviously they are working to a certain extent.
