BF 13% I think

Almost 4 years at the gym steady
5 cycles to date

Currently trying to put a cycle together, that will be for another thread in a different section of course.

My goal is to get more lean, however, I only wanna loose fat and im certainly no expert on dieting and I no everyone is different, however, I would appreciate it if someone could tweak this up for me and then I can try trial and error from there.

I wanna make sure my diet has the right ingrediants and enough of the right ingrediants to loose fat and not muscle and I also I no the importance of eating the meals at the right time, so I was hoping someone could make sure thats ok.

Cardio will be done at 5:30am soon as I wake up on an empty stomach with the exception of amino acids, I will be doing 40 minutes of low intensity cardio 5 days a week and 20 minutes of low intensity cardio after a weight training 5 days a week.

So here goes:

Meal 1: 6:30am

4 egg whites 2 whold eggs - Pro 28g Fat 4g Carb 2g Cal 220
1/3 cup oats - Pro 6g Fat 3g Carb 27g Cal 150

Meal 3: 11:00AM

1 Scoop of whey - Pro 24g Fat 1g Carb 3g Cal 120
(the reason its just a scoop of whey is because I have almost 3 hours before my next break, so I thought I would have a quick shake at this time)

Meal 4: 12:15pm

1 Cup of Boiled Hamburger - Pro 40g Fat 0g Carb 0g cal 300
1/2 cup brown rice - Pro 3g Fat 1.5g Carb 34g Cal 150

Meal 6 (Pre Workout Meal) 6:00pm
2/3 cup oats - Pro 12g Fat 6g Carb 54g Cal 300
1 scoop of whey Pro 24g fat 1.5 carb 3g cal 120

1 Scoop of whey - Pro 24g Fat 1g Carb 3g Cal 120

hey bro, i know your trying to cut but i think you are undereating on workout days considering you do AM and workout/post workout cardio. we need BMR

Another way to calculate BMR BMR CALCULATIONS

then ill do a light critique, considering macros are correct.

The reason for the shake at 11:00am is because I dont have break for almost 3 hours and I would have to quickly slam a shake in me and get back to work, no time to eat any whole foods.

The reason for the boiled hamburger is my buddy is a body builder and he said if you boil it for 30 mins, strain it, replace with fresh water and boil for 20 mins, strain and then fry for 5 mins, it takes out everything but the protien and the hamburger is on sale this week haha, however, I could replace the hameburger with a can of the chicken breast chunks if you think that would be better, there is only 150mg of sodium in every can and I no sodium causes bloat, but its inexpensive and its convenient to eat and it tastes great.

Fat is to low, any suggestions on what to add to my diet to bring up my fat intake?

Thanks again my man

**RendellUnit** · 06-01-2009, 07:46 PM

you could just buy chicken breast in bulk which will be leaner and alot quicker to cook. also i still think you need to rotate your protein sources. more fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, etc. etc. your dependant on whey in 3 diff meals.

Fat is to low, any suggestions on what to add to my diet to bring up my fat intake?
EFA'S like olive/almond/walnut/fish oil, etc. no processed foods with fats for extra, add in the oils with no carbs after post workout meals
Thanks again my man

bold bro

**rickrick55** · 06-02-2009, 10:13 AM

where are the post workout carbs!?!

**RendellUnit** · 06-02-2009, 01:57 PM

The reason I left out the post workout carbs was because I was told a good rule of thumb is u should try to only consume carbs 3 times a day and no carbs after 6pm, when trying to cut, please correct me if none of that is true.
