Ok, A little background. 26 years old, 6'0, 175lbs. I have been working out seriously for the last 4 years. By seriously I mean dieting, training, and taking proper supplementation. It seems like I have tried everything and I think I eat very clean but just cannot seem to get rid of the smooth look. I cannot get vascular or very defined. My strength goes up very easily but I cannot get my 6 pack to pop. I have detailed my diet below and vitamins...please give me any advice you can think of and maybe my insulin spikes are causing the problem...but all advice would be welcomed because I have tried everything and cannot get the lean body I am looking for.
Meal 1
1/2 cup quick oats---150 cal, 5g protein, 27g carbs
16oz pure egg whites---250 cal, 50g protein, 0 carbs----750mg sodium(dangerous)?
Meal 2
MRP Shake---160 cal, 15g protein, 6g carbs
Meal 3
tuna--90 cal, 20g protein, 1g carb
snow peas--35 cal, 2g protein, 6g carbs
------sometimes substitute almonds----160cal, 5g protein, 9g carb
Meal 4
pure protein bar--190 cal, 20g protein, 17g carb
Meal 5 (Preworkout)
tuna/rice---90cal, 20g protein, 10g carb
Workout
Meal 6
chicken breast--250 cal, 55g protein, 0g carb
raw spinach--10 cal, 1 g protein, 1.5g carbs
protein shake w/water---120 cal, 24g protein, 3g carbs
roughly 1700-2100cal, 192g-225g protein, 72-85g carbs
Ok so I am thinking about replacing that MRP with my own consisting of whey isolate protein, 2 tbsp natty pb, ice, water.
Do I need a new preworkout meal
I take my flax with the first tuna meal--is that about right?
currently using NO Shotgun, and 4 caps myogenx per day
Go ahead and critique please.....I am looking to stay around 185 but get leaner with more of a mens fitness build....i.e, better abs, more chiseled.
A lot of information but some general tips would really help because I have tried for years to get more cut and cannot do it
train 6 days per week, and do cardio 3 days...2 are early morning on empty stomach
