im not entirely confedant that the above is accurate...I used calorie count and theres a billion options for each food u search so...

but that said this took me forever to do does it seem right?

[lil-SLIM]

also thats a shit load of cals for lbm isnt it...my goal is to loose the lil bit of fat I got on my abs and add lbm

right now I eat what ever I want...and u can just make out my abs w increased cardio and the above diet will I be able to accomplish my goals?

Tai, Nova what u guys think

I have a hard time believing the sodium is accurate...seems like alot more than should be

[novastepp]

your first two meals are the ones i don't like. the first meal is way too many cals, but to be honest, i think the calculations may be off. go for just a cup of oats, you shouldn't need more than that. snack1 go for just one handful of almonds. but before you hange that, see if that calculation is correct too. the first two meals are the ones i think need tweaking. other than that...

[Narkissos]

hell i even know some small ones *Cough*NARK*Cough* who dont use shakes

Yep.

'Cept for protein blends and whole egg protein powder in the off-season.

That lil guy's diets kick ass bro.

[Narkissos]

so shakes are a personal preference...but when if u are gonna use shakes is the right time to use em?

PWO + before bed

Pre workout + post workout (seems kinda popular round here)

pre-workout... and pwo.

On a sidenote

I find people try to push too many nutrients during these times.

Unless you're using a nutrient-partitioning agent like insulin (or igf-1 to a lesser extent) you're wasting time over eating.

pwo.. stimulate protein synthesis and glycogen supercompensation.

ppwo... continue the process.

pre-w/o bump insulin a little.. antagoniza cortisol release.

Whole food is more than appropriate at all other times.

[Narkissos]

you really need WHOLE food pre work out as you want a long lasting energy/protein source during ur training session

Not necessarily.

Glycogen is being restored over the course of the day.

"Lasting energy" is more a factor of how you eat the rest of the day.

The main purpose of a pre-WO shake is to blunt cortisol and to stimulate protein synthesis.

A moderate serving of fast-acting carb + relatively medium acting protein (for sustained amino acid delivery) should do.

dont run mast and winny together as there both DHT's.

Blanket statement.

Dual DHT (just like dual test-derivatives) can be synergistic.

Dual DHT cutting cycle: [standard cutting cycle]

Prop; mast; win

Dual DHT cutting cycle: [contest prep... for people with 'watery builds' indicative of above average aromatase activity]

Tren -a; win; proviron /mast

You've gotta look at more than the core hormone when planning a cycle.

Body type.. mechanism of action (AR or non-AR mediated etc.).. all factors come into play.

[lil-SLIM]

CNS- whats your PREWO and PWO meals?

[lil-SLIM]

cutting it two half as much oatmeal and almonds is easy...no prob, I could also change it to 4 eggs seein as I will likely drink 2 raw later in the day

Its also Likely that Meal 4 will be optional...I mean this is supposed to be an attempt at lookin more cut so that many cals isnt neccisary + time might not allow for it

I feel pretty comfortable about this diet plan in cycles past Ive always gained and did not have this dedicated a diet...I mostly just ate whatever I could whenever, during those cycles I also gained some fat so if im eating cleaner foods and adding cardio I should end up gaining muscle and looking a lil leaner at the end of this upcoming cycle = simple persons logic lol no numbers, calc, macros...needed

any other suggestions are much appreciated

[novastepp]

have you made any revisions?

[lil-SLIM]

Im still thinking things over a bit...ill repost in a bit

hey nova whats your diet like do u have a link?

[novastepp]

i'm cutting right now. basically chicken breast, tuna, sweet potatoes, broccoli, whey and skim milk.
