[Squatman51]

meal 1- oatmeal, whey,turkey ...................55p 75c 10f

meal 2- 10 eggs(2 whole), ham, flax ...........50p 20f

meal 3- whey, brown rice, tuna .................60p 75c

meal4- (PWO)-whey, glutamine, BCAA's .......60p 35c
dextrose
meal5- chicken breast, potato, or sweet.......50p 75c
potato, or brown rice

meal6- tuna, olive oil ...............................60p 20f

meal7- cottage cheese, flax, whey.............60p 20f

meal8- shake (when i wake up at night)........50p



..........................................totals ~400p ~260c ~70f



some days i may add in another
pro/fat meal which would make totals ~450g 260g ~90g



and on non workout day i usually have a pro/fat in place of the PWO meal



So roughly I get inbetween 3300-3600 calories a day

Any Suggestions??????????????

Carbs are pretty high here. Just do like 1 cup app. 54g carbs
meal 2- 10 eggs(2 whole), ham, flax ...........50p 20f
Drop the fat a bit.
meal 3- whey, brown rice, tuna .................60p 75c
Again, too many carbs IMO. Switch the whey w/ whole foods.
meal4- (PWO)-whey, glutamine, BCAA's .......60p 35c
dextrose
Good
meal5- chicken breast, potato, or sweet.......50p 75c
potato, or brown rice
Good
meal6- tuna, olive oil ...............................60p 20f
Just do 1 TB of olive oil (app. 14g fat)
meal7- cottage cheese, flax, whey.............60p 20f
Drop the fat a bit
meal8- shake (when i wake up at night)........50p
Fine.

I do 3 days of empty stomach cardio also

What are your stats? Macros are pretty high.

[Squatman51]

My stats are 6'0 252 right now, ive been on this diet for about 2 weeks now(lost 4lbs so far)...my meet is Nov 18 and i have to get to 242lbs


ive been doing morning cardio 3x a week 45mintues for the last two weeks also

[audis4]

Actually, your cals look good. Your a big guy....I would start out at about 3500kcal. You can try the macros you have listed like you said you have been doing and then drop little by little and up the cardio to 4-5days/week

[novastepp]

yeah squatman, up the cardio bro. you're eating enough, it shouldn't hurt at all.

[Squatman51]

ok thanks



one more question, its about cardio, i do cardio 2x in the morning and the other 2 days that i do cardio i do them after my first class from 8-10, i eat before this class though, so does it matter that much if its on an empty stomach, i mean its better than not doing it at all right



and for those 2 days that i do cardio after class i just have a shake w/flax something that wont take long to break down that way when i do cardio at 1030 my stomach is empty again

[audis4]

I would do cardio 3-4 days per week for 30-45 min.
I'm leaning up and doing cardio 5 days MINIMUM, for 30-45min at the fat 'buring heart rate zone.'

...why do you do 2 cadio sessions in the mornings and how long are they?

I see better results doing cardio on an empty stomach vs. cardio after weight training but experiment.

[Squatman51]

no i meant i do cardio 2 days in the morning and 2 days after my first class which is 4 times per week for 45 mintues

[audis4]

no i meant i do cardio 2 days in the morning and 2 days after my first class which is 4 times per week for 45 mintues

oh gotcha! that should be fine dude. If possible, try to get the other 2 cardio sessions in the morning or at least after your workout.
