New Diet whilst on Hydroxycut

I am 6"4 - 240lbs at about 19% bf

Am looking at running my first cycle but have taken the advice of alot of people to cut my bf first and get a good diet under my belt as well which hopefull i have done below

7am – protein shake on the train – (unsure whether to chuck some slow release carbs in this as well?) - please advise??

9am – Porridge and fruit

11am – 2 tins of tuna on wholemeal bread, no butter

12.30pm – Workout

1.30pm – PWO shake – 300 kcals, 24g protein, 50g high glycemic carbs, 1g fat

2pm – 2 chicken breasts, half a plate of veggies, baked potato

5pm – Protein Shake

8pm – meat or fish with veggies and rice/potato/pasta or chicken stir fry

This should kick out about 3000 cals and i believe my maintenance is about 3,300?

Thanks in advance for any help - by the way i know that i should be getting my cals from meals rather than shakes but my boss is a mini hitler and hates me eating at my desk so i can just about get away with the tuna on toast at 11am

im assuming you wake up at 6 or 630 am, and it looks like ur first real good is eaten at 9 am. that is terrible. you need to chug 20 grams of whey protein upon wakening, and eat a banana (medium digesting carb). then you can eat ur porridge, and a source of meaty protein (cans of tuna are the easiest). you need to be eating meals at work so explain to your boss that you were just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and have to eat often to maintain healthy blood sugar levels or something. he won't be aloud to tell you "no."

cant eat tuna everyday

why not? ive eaten 2 cans a day almost every day for the past 2 years.

it's a fact that there is high amounts of mercury in tuna, its not a myth

by the way 2 cans a day for 2 years? tuna is so expensive, how can you even afford that.. 4 cans of tuna is 7 dollars, that means you're spending 14 dollars every 2 days which

equals 224 bucks a month..so unless you're extremely rich, i doubt you're eating 2 cans of tuna every day for the past two years, what is up with these extreme exaggerations.. people claiming they eat 52 eggs in a day, 2 cans of tuna a day not even possible

Ummm WHAT?!?!?? Are you joking??

First off eating healthy and a lot is not cheap, secondly Tuna is not that expensive and finally there is nothing wrong with eating 2 cans of tuna a day.. There is Mercury in Tuna, yes, but you need to eat a lot more than 2 cans a day to ever get poisoning


And also with your figures 2 cans a day is only 7 dollars, remember he is eating 2 cans a day and you get 4 cans in each package

Cut out rice/potato/pasta

For losing weight eating those carbs/starchs/sugars will ruin any potential gains from your workout. Implement that stuff in when you start your cycle.

every 2 days , he eats 4 cans of tuna
so sorry my math was wrong its actually 112 dollars a month just for tuna and thats it.. just tuna, thats ridiculous

and 4 cans of tuna cost 7 dollars and that is underestimating,
it is that expensive

A January 2008 report conducted by the New York Times has found potentially dangerous levels of mercury in certain varieties of tuna, reporting levels "so high that the Food and Drug Administration could take legal action to remove the fish from the market - Wikipedia.org

yea im sure its just a myth and everybody is lying about the levels of mercury in tuna, and by the way

" you need to eat more than 2 cans a day to reach that level" as you mentioned

i would love to know where you found that information, cause im sure you made it up, recommending to eat 2 days of tuna a day in this forum is dumb and people will actually listen thats why i made this post.. yes mercury is in tuna, and yes it is dangerous and 2 cans a day will get you there

just in case you're wondering what mercury can do to you ,

here's a quick example

"In America one-in-six children born every year have been exposed to mercury levels so high that they are potentially at risk for learning disabilities and motor skill impairment and short-term memory loss. That type of mercury exposure is caused by eating certain kinds of fish, which contain high levels of the toxin such as tuna"

http://www.pbs.org/now/science/mercuryinfish.html

im sure this is a myth too, keep eating 2 cans a day

I dont know where everyone buys tuna at, but i grab mine from a bulk food store and get 12 cans of chunk light for 9.99. I don't think thats too bad of a deal.

i don't know where you buy your tuna from, but in dallas it is .62 cents a can, and in san diego it is $1.00 a can. it is not an extreme exaggeration, and i think you should apologize for your assertion that i am lying.

please explain to me how carbs will ruin any gains from your workout, i can't wait to hear this

im eating 2 cans of tuna a day or more. everything you eat has whats deemed acceptable levels of some type of toxin or filth. milk has acceptable levels of pesticides, antibiotics, hormones and what not. lot of foods you buy have acceptable levels of animal waste or roach parts in it. so dont think whatever your eating is any better than eating tuna.

fyi, walmart sells cans of tuna for $.56 each.... 1 dollar cans are normally albacore tuna. so some might be getting that confused with the cheaper stuff.

found some info for you..

very true... ever eaten maggots or mill worms? They're loaded with fat and protein... I had a roommate from Africa who would eat them every once in a while and he'd basically stir fry and season them... Crunchy, but good lol
