Diet Advice
First, I will give you the basics.
I am:
Male
5'7"
204lbs
31yrs
My current daily diet from Fitday calculates out as follows. The foods change a bit, but this general formula holds true per-day. (Ok, I just realized HTML coding doesn't work here.... so, bear with the ugly table)
Total Calories: 1611
Fat 33.5g 298cal
Carbs 225.5g 905cal
Protein 103.5g 405cal
Alcohol - none
As you may notice, I am on bit of a losing weight trend, and it is working out just fine.
However, When do I change diets? What do I change too?
Being that I worked out for years, when my BMI tells me I should be under 159lbs to be healthy, this is Laughable.
(measurements)
Bicep 17.5
Forearm 14
Chest 44
Waist 35 (yeah, I'm getting rid of this)
Thighs 25
Calfs 17
I finally have a stable job that isn't moving me around the country every other week and staying in hotels for months on end. I am trying to get back down to a decent weight before I start trying to gain it all back. I've already dropped 15-20lbs.
When do I change from trying to lose weight to trying to gain muscle? How should I change? What should I do differently?
I fully expect to get railed on the amount of Protein already, but I know that will need to increase to 200g/day + (I could probably manage that on these calories, I would just have to change a few things around).
In any case, ask me anything you like and any comments and or suggestions you all might have will be appreciated.
Thanks

Your body-fat percentage as far as what is "correct" will be determined by you looking in the mirror and being happy with what you see. When that happens, you are at your "correct" body-fat as there is no "1" correct percentage.

Haha, this is my current diet, not proposed. And yes, 4 of my meals are exactly the same because I make them before I leave for work and it was easier
So yeah, my BMR is 3074 and I am looking for any diet advice from what I have. If it's easy to pack and take with me into the office, the better tfor me in a practical sense. (especially if I can eat them at my desk without having to go prepare it).
I work 10 hour days mon-thu, 4 hours on Friday. I cheat on one meal every saturday or sunday to try and throw my system out of whack a little.
So, with my BMR of 3074, could you help me in creating a new diet? Oh yeah, as for the amounts of turkey, its 3 slices each... everytime... yeah, kind of boring
Oh, and also to add, if my Bathroom Scale is correct, then I am about 25% BF, but I'm not sure how much faith I can put into that as it says 33 if I don't use it right after a shower. (I'm pretty sure it uses your resistance, and dry is a heck of a lot more resistant)Last edited by STnewbie; 05-07-2009 at 01:11 PM.
