830am-----two slices whole grain bread, can't believe it's not butter spray. Need some protein in here.
1030am------16oz bbq chicken breast litle bbq sauce, 1 cup fresh steamed broccoli1lb of chicken is too much, cut down to 8oz at the most and add in some carbs like a sweet potatoe or brown rice
1230pm-------High 5 protein shake 25gms protein 1gm carbsHow about dropping this with a meal simliar to the one before
230pm-------16oz bbq chicken breast litle bbq sauce, 1 cup fresh steamed broccoliSame comments as earlier
430------High 5 protein shake 25gms protein 1gm carbs
630----16oz bbq chicken breast litle bbq sauce, 1 cup fresh steamed broccolisame comments as earlier
8-930-----weights.... high rep med weight 3 x 30

Maybe redo it with some of these suggestions and ones you will receive from others and list macros for each.

Thanks Fireguy!

Great advice!

[Dr Manhattan]

Any more advice guys?

i need a good estimate as to what your bf is.. then we can do your tdce

Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )



once you have that number, you can multiply it by an activity number to figure out your daily caloric expenditure, be honest here as this is the very cornerstone of your diet, if you are between two of the below activity levels then just multiply by a number in between them

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:


If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

DAMN.....3,150 calories


Now what?

BF% 24....best guess

[jamyjamjr]

you need to get on a 2700kcal diet and do cardio 5 days a week...

i would split it like this

300 protien a day = 1200kcal
250 carb a day= 1000 kcal
55g fats a day= roughly 500kcal

work with these macros

[Phate]

are you performing the cardio on an empty stomach?

what heartrate are you performing it at?

we need macros for each of your meals and the daily total

[jamyjamjr]

And what like <10gm of sugar? only post workout, that's the only time you can have simple carbs




Yes

Don't have a set diet as of yet that's why i'm here

if you are in that heartrate range on an empty stomach you are burning through muscle, empty stomach cardio should be done in an aerobic state(you shouldn't be breathing hard at all)

here is a thread you should read on empty stomach cardio

also, watch these videos, they will give you a good basis for creating a diet, then once you have watched one try to create a diet and post it for critique
