    I'll disregard the latter part of each meal..and just deal with the numbers for now.

    I'm curious though... Where did you find this?

    Moving on however... we'll start with your stats for reference:

    You're consuming way too many calories.

    Your bodyfat is way too high (And your LBM way too low) for the kcal intake you're suggesting

    Where did you find this diet?

    To start, there's way too much fat in it for your LBM and body composition.

    This is the maintenance diet of a 200 lb male.

    Critiques there.

    The work-out I'm not touching however.

    This is a diet thread after all... and the workout isn't of your own creation.

    BTW Josh, '2 servings' (etc.) is very vague.

    This thread is about specifics.

    Please supply these... as it'll make reciprocating easier.

    Thanks.

    ^^The diet isn't suitable to your goals.

    It isn't in anyway related to your LBM.

    LBM should be at the core of diet-planning.

    Reevaluate your diet based on your LBM. we have instructions on how to do so at the beginning of the thread. There is a lot of info. on how to develop a diet based on our ideas.

    Please take the ideas of this thread into mind and redevelop a diet based on this thread's topics. Again, it is no nonsense diet advice and you haven't subscribed to our ideas.

    Sweet potato
    4oz
    103kcal
    24g carb
    2.5g pro


    i would never use bead during a cut... especially a "serious" one

    i HATE rice, brow, black, white, green, read, doesn't matter. i hate it. my reason why, is it bloats the hell out of me and makes me feel like 100% absolute garbage. i wouldn't recommend it.

    i'd stick to potatoes if I were you. what carb choices are you using?

    Depends on your rationale for ingesting the skin.

    I avoid it... but simply because it doesn't agree with me. (gas)

    The notion that the majority of the potato's nutrients is in the skin is an urban myth.

    But... there is the insoluble fiber content. Fiber intake is usually very much overlooked.

    those macros are just the edible portion (without skin). i rarely eat the skin unless i'm grilling red potatoes. i just don't like the skin on sweet potatoes.

    Righto boys, wondering if you could do some looking over my master plan.

    Coming out of winter (here is aus) and took some measurements for the first time in about 5 months. Realized my BF was getting out of hand (even for a Powerlifter). I beleive its important to have someone else advise you on diet, as if you do it yourself you tend to 2nd guess and over analyze too much.

    GOAL
    Drop some BF (up to possibly 10kg) without sacrificing strength/performance.

    STATS
    Age - 25
    Weight - 111.6kg (246lbs)
    BF - 16.67%
    Height - 182cm (6')
    Activity - Moderate at work, low on days off.
    Cardio - No extra cardio outside work.

    MEDS
    TestProp @150mg/day (1050mg/week)
    T3 @ 60mg/day (to prevent my metabolism crashing as it normally does when i drop cals)

    TRAINING
    MON - Legs/LowBack/Abs - Heavy weight, low reps
    WED - Chest/UpperBack/Arms - Heavy weight, low reps
    THUR - Legs/LowBack/Abs - Moderate Weight, higher reps
    SAT - Chest/UpperBack/Arms - Moderate Weight, higher reps

    DIET
    Ive attahed the diet. It had to be in an image format because the program i set it up in wont export it so I had to take a screen dump. Sorry about this but I only realised it after i did it all. I have it in HTML format but thr forum wont let me upload it.


    Thanks lads,

    Before I take a crack at that... I have my newest article for you guys to peruse.

    http://www.feelitnutrition.com/blog/...orey-springer/



    Cut Liquid Calories… Cut bodyfat.

    By Corey Springer AKA “Narkissos”
    Friday, September 5th 2008: The NarkSide

    Taken from: “Cut Liquid Calories… Cut bodyfat.” by Corey Springer


    The average gym-goer, when asked, usually claims to have “no idea” why they’re having difficulty losing bodyfat. The usual claim follows the vein of: “I eat no junk food… I eat really healthy man!”

    ‘Healthy’, one of those terms I hate to hear. That, however, is a rant for another time.

    Ok… getting back on track:

    Joe Gym-dude:
    “I eat healthy”.

    Me:
    “Ok… We all do. Why do you then, not look like I do?”

    Joe Gym-dude:
    “I don’t know man… It must be my genetics”.


    (Genetics… another monster of a rant for another time.)


    If you’re a subscriber to "the NarkSide" message board, you will have come across some of my previous articles…and some of the arguments raised therein. One such argument is that people eat a lot worse than they think they do. In addition, people underestimate just how impactful liquid calories are.


    Ergo this article: Cut the liquid Calories… cut the bodyfat.

    Tell me… Do you frequently consume juices, smoothies, coffee concoctions, ‘energy drinks’, or soft drinks with or between meals?

    (Yes… I lumped juices in there with soft drinks, though many fail to make this distinction. Studies show that this is erroneous, as sweetened juices are just as likely to cause weight-gain as non-diet soft drinks.[1][2])

    The answer is probably ‘yes’… and you’d be in the company of millions of failed dieters around the world.

    Yes… millions.


    Using the United States as a gauge, it has been documented that:


    * In the past 50 years, consumption of soft drinks has increased by almost 500%.[3]
    * Half of all Americans and most adolescents consume soft drinks multiple times daily.[4]



    Why does it matter what you drink?


    Well…Weight-loss revolves around a relatively simple mathematical equation:

    * Weight-loss= calories consumed < calories expended


    For argument’s sake, let’s say that the above equation is true regardless of where the calories come from.

    What we drink matters because liquid calories, like all calories, matter.

    Unfortunately, we tend to forget to count these calories.:

    The sodas, juices and teas;

    The cream, creamer and sugar in our coffee;

    It all adds up.

    Adding up… as inches around the waist.

    Every calorie you consume affects your weight-loss goal.


    To give you an idea just much so, let’s review the caloric content of some of the most commonly consumed beverages:


    * Blended coffee drinks: 250-850 calories (i.e. the cumulative calorie count of 1-3 average sized meals)
    * Gatorade: 310 calories per 12 fl oz
    * Coke: 97 calories per 8 fl oz
    * Vitamin Water: 50 calories per 8 fl oz



    With regard to Gatorade and the like: nobody consumes an 8 oz serving…

    Let’s be real with ourselves.

    8 oz isn’t satisfying (though studies do argue that liquid calories aren’t ’satisfying’ period [5]).

    The average beverage intake is 16-20oz per meal.


    This bumps the kcal intake to:


    * Gatorade: <>500 calories
    * Coke: <>240 calories
    * Vitamin Water: <>125 calories



    Putting this all in perspective, what we are looking at is the consumption of basically 1-3 meal’s worth of calories in liquid form in addition to a solid meal.

    The average daily calorie requirement is 1920kcals and 1680kcals for a male and female respectively.

    The indiscriminate ingestion of these beverages can easily result in an aggregate calorie intake double or triple that required for the maintenance of one’s body weight.

    Like I said… It all adds up.

    …Usually around the waist.


    So what can we do?


    Well you could:


    * Swap sweetened juices for unsweetened juices
    * Retain the natural fibers (AKA ‘pith’) in your unsweetened juices. (Increased fiber content blunts the resulting blood sugar elevation.)
    * Drink water/diet beverages with meals.
    * If you must consume alcohol during cocktail hour, choose wine (or the good old vodka + diet coke/diet sprite + lime) over the sugary drinks.


    Little changes beget big results.
    Good luck.

    I'm looking at the print out and some of the totals appear off.

    e.g. Fiber.

    You have a food listed which adds fiber... and another that contributes none.

    Yet in the meal total, fiber is 7gr+ higher.

    Why is this?

    The diet you uploaded... The kcals are about right.

    The fat is marginally higher than i would have laid out... and the protein a lot higher.

    I really do not like how much protein you've chosen to ingest.. I think it's way too high honestly.

    At the very minimum, I think you're trying to pack too much into each meal.

    The kcals overall are adequate as I mentioned...

    If you choose to go this route w/ regard to macros totals... I'd suggest that you add another meal, so you can lower your protein per meal total to something more feasible.

    7 meals: 60 gr protein/meal

    I'd fathom that you'll eventually plateau on this diet... So start it... stick to it for at least 6 weeks..and then come back here to have it revised.

    Ive ran T3 twice in the past with clen . Had good results with it up to a max doseage of about 100mg/day then slowly tapepring off. My 'theory' for using it this time is to basically run it throughout at a dosage of 60mg/day to prevent my metabolism crashing as I slowly reduce calories (when progress stalls).

    My routine might be a bit hard to follow if your not familiar with Westside type powerlifting routines, ill do my best to explain it. I dont do very much direct shoulder work as my shoulders cop a beating from all my heavy pressing/pulling and anything more then a little prehab work with raises seems to set them up for injury.

    I had my previous bluking/strength diet in the earlier part of this thread. What I did was take that diet and clean it up a little and alter the calories. The idea behind it was not to shock the body with such a dramatic change. By not going 'full on' into a cutting regime, ive given myself plenty of room to move when I do eventually plateau.

    Thanks for your input to mate, like I said before, I think its always important to have someone else help you with your diet top stop you over analysing shit.

    Oh and yes the meals do seem very large but because I have been eating such large meals over the winter, I dont want to all of a sudden drop back to smaller more frequent meals. When Ive done this in the past it has lead to more cheat meals and over eating.

    Cut Liquid Calories… Cut bodyfat.

    By Corey Springer AKA “Narkissos”
    Friday, September 5th 2008: The NarkSide

    Taken from: “Cut Liquid Calories… Cut bodyfat.” by Corey Springer


    The average gym-goer, when asked, usually claims to have “no idea” why they’re having difficulty losing bodyfat. The usual claim follows the vein of: “I eat no junk food… I eat really healthy man!”

    ‘Healthy’, one of those terms I hate to hear. That, however, is a rant for another time.

    Ok… getting back on track:

    Joe Gym-dude:
    “I eat healthy”.

    Me:
    “Ok… We all do. Why do you then, not look like I do?”

    Joe Gym-dude:
    “I don’t know man… It must be my genetics”.


    (Genetics… another monster of a rant for another time.)


    If you’re a subscriber to "the NarkSide" message board, you will have come across some of my previous articles…and some of the arguments raised therein. One such argument is that people eat a lot worse than they think they do. In addition, people underestimate just how impactful liquid calories are.


    Ergo this article: Cut the liquid Calories… cut the bodyfat.

    Tell me… Do you frequently consume juices, smoothies, coffee concoctions, ‘energy drinks’, or soft drinks with or between meals?

    (Yes… I lumped juices in there with soft drinks, though many fail to make this distinction. Studies show that this is erroneous, as sweetened juices are just as likely to cause weight-gain as non-diet soft drinks.[1][2])

    The answer is probably ‘yes’… and you’d be in the company of millions of failed dieters around the world.

    Yes… millions.


    Using the United States as a gauge, it has been documented that:


    * In the past 50 years, consumption of soft drinks has increased by almost 500%.[3]
    * Half of all Americans and most adolescents consume soft drinks multiple times daily.[4]



    Why does it matter what you drink?


    Well…Weight-loss revolves around a relatively simple mathematical equation:

    * Weight-loss= calories consumed < calories expended


    For argument’s sake, let’s say that the above equation is true regardless of where the calories come from.

    What we drink matters because liquid calories, like all calories, matter.

    Unfortunately, we tend to forget to count these calories.:

    The sodas, juices and teas;

    The cream, creamer and sugar in our coffee;

    It all adds up.

    Adding up… as inches around the waist.

    Every calorie you consume affects your weight-loss goal.


    To give you an idea just much so, let’s review the caloric content of some of the most commonly consumed beverages:


    * Blended coffee drinks: 250-850 calories (i.e. the cumulative calorie count of 1-3 average sized meals)
    * Gatorade: 310 calories per 12 fl oz
    * Coke: 97 calories per 8 fl oz
    * Vitamin Water: 50 calories per 8 fl oz



    With regard to Gatorade and the like: nobody consumes an 8 oz serving…

    Let’s be real with ourselves.

    8 oz isn’t satisfying (though studies do argue that liquid calories aren’t ’satisfying’ period [5]).

    The average beverage intake is 16-20oz per meal.


    This bumps the kcal intake to:


    * Gatorade: <>500 calories
    * Coke: <>240 calories
    * Vitamin Water: <>125 calories



    Putting this all in perspective, what we are looking at is the consumption of basically 1-3 meal’s worth of calories in liquid form in addition to a solid meal.

    The average daily calorie requirement is 1920kcals and 1680kcals for a male and female respectively.

    The indiscriminate ingestion of these beverages can easily result in an aggregate calorie intake double or triple that required for the maintenance of one’s body weight.

    Like I said… It all adds up.

    …Usually around the waist.


    So what can we do?


    Well you could:


    * Swap sweetened juices for unsweetened juices
    * Retain the natural fibers (AKA ‘pith’) in your unsweetened juices. (Increased fiber content blunts the resulting blood sugar elevation.)
    * Drink water/diet beverages with meals.
    * If you must consume alcohol during cocktail hour, choose wine (or the good old vodka + diet coke/diet sprite + lime) over the sugary drinks.


    Little changes beget big results.
    Good luck.

    Anyways to add to what "Corey" stated, personally Id rather or much rather eat fruits versus drink "100% juice% .
    The fiber content and vitamins and mineral that may have been lost are essential. Its not processed and it does not contain added sugar. Sodas? I dont even know where to commence with that. I have completely annihilated that from my diet. Good point and article Corey.

    Nark I sincerely hope Corey sues your ass for intellectual property infringement.

    PMs were turned off because of a bunch of weirdos who kept contacting me.

    Emails were kept on however.

    I've turned the PM feature back on...

    However, please refer questions of this nature to email.

    Thanks

    Gotcha... I prefer to err on the lighter side of ergogenic supplementation.

    Personally I'd start 25mcg (I don't go past 50 mcg)... or since you're not exactly going subcaloric, I'd actually opt for t4 (as this is my cutting compound of preference).

    I figured that was the rationale... but I preferred to have it stated.

    I also wanted to see how you had it laid out w/ regard to the days stated.

    My understanding was that it'd be EOD... but you had a 2-on 1-off 2-on- 2-off stated.

    So i was wondering if it were a hybrid.

    I'm always interested in trying hybrids.

    I'm not suggesting drastic changes... Personally I'm just advocating a more even spread of kcals.

    If you're adamant w/ regard to sticking to the 6 meals... I'd still suggest evenly spreading kcals.

    So you'd be looking at 70gr protein/meal.

    As opposed to 50+ in one meal and 80 in another.

    Get what i'm saying?

    205lbs
    11% body fat
    Im natural, no supplements either.

    goal:
    8% body fat(see my abs, genetics arent kind to me)

    Your approximate daily caloric maintenance level is: 3061 calories (kcal)
    Your daily caloric goal in order to lose weight should be between: 2061 to 2561 calories (kcal)


    Meal 1:
    2 whole eggs - 140 calories, 12g protein, 9g fat
    6 egg whites - 120 calories, 24g protein, 0g fat
    1/2 cup oats - 150 calories, 5g protein, 3g fat, 27g carbs

    Totals: 410 calories, 41g protein, 27g carbs, 12g fat

    Meal 2:
    6oz chicken - 165 calories, 34.5 g protein, 3.75 fat
    2 cups Broccoli - 60 calories, 4g protein, 0 fat 23g carbs
    6 oz Sweet potato - 155 calories, 36g carbs, 3.75g protein, 0 fat

    Totals: 380 calories, 42g protein, 59g carbs, 4g fat

    Meal 3:
    2 cans of Tuna - 200 calories, 44g protein, 4g fat
    Mayo 2 tbsp - 90 calories, 8g fat, 4g carbs

    Totals: 290 calories, 44g protein, 4g carbs, 4g fat

    Meal 4:
    6oz chicken - 165 calories, 34.5 g protein, 3.75 fat
    2 cups Broccoli - 60 calories, 4g protein, 0 fat 23g carbs
    6 oz Sweet potato - 155 calories, 36g carbs, 3.75g protein, 0 fat

    Totals: 380 calories, 42g protein, 59g carbs, 4g fat

    Meal 5:
    2 cans of Tuna - 200 calories, 44g protein, 4g fat
    Mayo 2 tbsp - 90 calories, 8g fat, 4g carbs

    Totals: 290 calories, 44g protein, 4g carbs, 4g fat

    Meal 6:
    6oz chicken - 165 calories, 34.5 g protein, 3.75 fat
    2 cups Broccoli - 60 calories, 4g protein, 0 fat 23g carbs
    6 oz Sweet potato - 155 calories, 36g carbs, 3.75g protein, 0 fat

    Totals: 380 calories, 42g protein, 59g carbs, 4g fat

    Fish, Flaxseed, Borage Oil – 12 caps - 120 calories, 12g fat
    (spread throughout the day)

    Daily totals:
    2309 calories, 255g protein, 212g carbs, 44g fat
    Your current macro ratio:

    <>17 % Fat
    <>37 % carbs
    <>44 % protein

    ^^Fat's too low.

    kcals are a little lower than i'd suggest... I'd suggest adding another 10-12 gr of supplemental fat spread tru-out the day.

    Bumping your kcals to around 2500kcals.

    (^^Ignore that suggestion if you've neglected to add the 12 grams of supplemental fats you listed to the overall count. While you mentioned them.. you didn't show where they'll be ingested... and their ingestion didn't reflect in the overall kcal count)

    ^^You need to spread your fat intake more equally tru-out the day.

    Meal 1, for example, is too high... Average 9gr from meal to meal.

    So drop one egg yolk in meal 1.. make up the protein total by filling the deficit w/ eggwhites.

    Make sure you hit your fat totals from meal to meal w/ supplemental fats in the appropriate amounts.

    w/ the above suggestions, you should be @ 2400 kcals.

    Overall, a pretty solid and thought-out diet.

    Lemme know how the adjustments work.

    Yes, my totals did include the supplemental fats. I take 2 capsules(10 cal, 1g fat each) per meal. So I should double my intake and Ill be good.
