You gotta list the macros if you want our input bro! Guesses and nebulous quantities like "couple spoonfuls", "little chicken breasts", "some veggies" ang "good amount of carbs" wont help

Have you calculated your daily resting calorie expenditure?

How can anyone tell you 'eat more', if you list generic amounts like 'a good amount of carbs'?

C'mon.

well if you want to stay at 2400 calories a day, read the label, measure out your sevings, and keep track, it's not that hard man, put a little thought into your meal planning, it will go a long way

you can't expect us to know how much you're supposed to eat, we don't even know your stats and goal

Don't you need at least 50g fat?

**Ajc330** · 06-05-2008, 08:54 PM

i don't have much time but i'll jot down what i ate today since we have similar goals except i am a little heavier with little less bf%.. i try to stay around 2000 calories a day little more on work out days.. so here is an idea of what i did

wake at 8
meal1 830 - can tuna with 3/4 cup oats

meal2 11 - 3 slices whole wheat bread 6 oz sirloin steak

workout 1130 did back with 15 mins high intense cardio

meal3 PWO 1230 - 7 salt free rice cakes 6 oz sirloin steak

130 - my ppwo is just a bunch of broccoli for the fiber, no protein here

meal 4 4pm - 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breast 1.25 serving almonds

meal 5 7pm - .5 serving almonds 5 whole eggs

i eat this food on a daily basis, only this stuff, i buy in bulk, freeze, and precook a lot of stuff, it works well, gl with your diet this is just a sample

Im basing my post off of Nark's thread and he and Nova's theories of low fat cutting. I have ahd great results with it in the past 5-6 weeks. The calorie number that I cam up with was based on the Katch-McArdle formula. And the resulting ratios were based on 45% carb, as low fat as possible (NO supplemental fat, all fat coming from protein and carb sources) and the remaining calories going towards protein intake. If you want more info and a MUCH MUCH more detailed explanation of this approach to cutting, check out Nark and Nova's thread.

**Deltasaurus** · 06-06-2008, 01:24 PM

i thought i needed more fat no prob though
