How's this lookin?

[dj_pacman51]

Aite so Im pretty new to all this and I've read through a couple threads and wanted to get some feedback on my diet. My former roomate was a personal trainer and he kinda gave me some basic guidelines on what a diet should look like so here it is...

Macros:Protein/Carbs/Calories/Fat

Breakfast:
2 Turkey Sausage Patties
8 egg whites
2egg yolks
1 Slice of wheat bread

65/11/406/18

Snack:
Almonds
Fuji Apple
Glutamine Capsule 500mg

9.5/29/340/24

Lunch:
2 cups spinach
6 Boiled eggs
1 package of tuna

52/2/511/30.5

Snack:
Gladiator Protein Shake
Fish Oil

45/1/190/1

Next Meal:
12oz tilapia or chicken or lean beef
1 can of spinach
1 tbsp of Siracha Sauce(aka rooster sauce I love this shit!)

93/13/527/12

Pre-workout:
Apple
BCAA 1000mg

.5/22/80/0

Post Workout:
Isopure Zero Carb Protein w/12oz of water
1 Slice of whole wheat
1tbsp of peanut butter

58/13/355/10

Before Bed:
Water

Total: 323g protein/91g carbs/2409 calories/95.5g fat


I drink about a gallon to a gallon and a half of water a day. I'm 5'9 220 lbs 21 years old. I'll get my bf % on here when I get it checked at the gym. I weight train 5 days a week. Cardio 5 days a week either 3 mile runs at 60% of max heart rate or HIIT cardio between sets (ie jump rope or mat drills). I been consistently doing this for about 5 months now, minus a couple days of partying.(I'm a dj... it comes with the job lol) I'm not gonna lie there are days when I run out of food and I go get a McDonalds dbl cheese burger or some chinese take out(DAMN THEIR CONVENIENCY!!!). On the weekend tho I dont eat as much since my activity level is rather low. But all in all I been trying to stay pretty strict. In the past months I have seen signifcant gains such as fat loss and muscle gain. And I been doin it naturally. I guess my goal is to start cutting up while the summer time is still here and then I'll start bulking in the winter. I wanna kinda have a shredded up look by my b-day in October. But like I said I am very new to all this. My football coaches jux taught us to eat a shit load and workout. Nothing about what to eat and when to eat and what not. So any feedback would be much appreciated.

I'd lower the protein in take in meals. 90 grams will be too much for your body to utilize at once. What you should do is break those protein amounts off into the snack and pre workout meals you have and keep the protein intake the same. I personally wouldn't recommend over 45 grams of protein at once. So try to keep it like that and break it up better for better results

I'm guessing with the lower carbs your goal is to cut weight?? Once you get down to desired weight remember carbs are vital as this is your bodies primary energy source and trying to build muscle without them will lead to less than desired results. Use the protein to build and carbs/fats for energy when you do go back.

Thanks dude. Yea I do wanna cut up while the summer is here. I'll try and split up the protein with more meals throughtout the day. My carb intake was higher but after I cut out alotta carbs I definetly noticed significant fat loss. I wanna say it was about 130g to 140g a day. But is my carb intake optimal as of rite now for cutting?

Looks to be and if your seeing results go with it. However it can be dependent on ones training, cardio timing, and abilities as some can cut on much higher amounts of carbs.

Ok cool. Yea at first when I cut the carbs down to the amount I did see myself getting tired more during workouts. I've been slowly but surely getting used to it tho and not getting as tired. My roomate always told me to workout past failure so is it good to be dead tired after working out? Mind you I workout at night after work then I go home and go to sleep a lil while later. Would I burn fat more if I got a lil more carbs in my diet?

Glutamine Capsule 500mg

9.5/29/340/24

Lunch:
2 cups spinach
6 Boiled eggs
1 package of tuna
Fix macros, 6 boiled eggs should be 42g protein roughly, and I'm not sure what 1 package of tuna means - maybe you're right on - but if it's 1 can of tuna than you definitely have more than 52g of protein in this meal.
52/2/511/30.5

Snack:
Gladiator Protein Shake
Fish Oil

45/1/190/1

Next Meal:
12oz tilapia or chicken or lean beef
1 can of spinach
1 tbsp of Siracha Sauce(aka rooster sauce I love this shit!)
Who are you Popeye? J/K
93/13/527/12

Pre-workout:
Apple
BCAA 1000mg
I'd up BCAA to like 5-10g - and maybe split it up 5 pre-WO and 5 PWO. Add in some complex carbs for energy about 45min-1.5 hours before you train.
.5/22/80/0

Post Workout:
Isopure Zero Carb Protein w/12oz of water
1 Slice of whole wheat
1tbsp of peanut butter
Do Yams or Sweet potatoes (starchy carb) PWO. White rice is OK too IMO.

Some people say that fat intake PWO increases glycogen replenishment, while others say combining fats and carbs slow the digestion/absorption rate of glucose/nutrients.

If you're cutting, maybe take out the natty PB PWO and keep the starchy carbs. You'll have to see what works for you. You may lose some STR being leaner, as the fat deposits in our muscles can help with leverage etc.

Try either for a week, maybe move the PB to before bed-time snack. GL!

Yea i got the eggs macros from this site, http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/d...products/111/2

Each egg was 6g of protein and the spinach serving had 3g of protein and the pack of tuna has 13g of protein. Yea the packs of tuna are alot fresher than the can. Yea I saw this vid saying that eating simple carbs after workouts would put glycogen back in my muscles. B4 I would jux take down the ispure after and thats all. So now Im trying to eat a simple carb afterward and see how that works out. Is there something else besides sweet potatoes u would recommend? Call me crazy but I jux cant keep those down. Something from childhood or somethin lol. And yea I jux been recently having a craving for spinach lol. And I been getting popeye brand spinach.

i would split some of your fats evenly, one of your meals has 1gram fat, which i can see from fish oil.
Meaning purposly your trying consume some fats there, so i would try split the 24g in one meal into more even number between the two.

Also i would save your bcaas for post workout,
remove the peanut butter from your post workout and bring it down to the meal before bed.

also consume something before bed more effective something like beef or some sort of clean meat.

another meals has 30g of fat from eggs, also split those up and bring some down to before bed, or you just dont need to consume so much fat in one sitting.

i am assuming your trying cut here..

even out the numbers wayyyy too many proteins, even out the numbers for your carbs and fats..

Yea dude the supplements like the Fish oil and what not, Im jux taking the recommended amount on the back of the bottle. I didnt know if it was ok to take more than the recommended dose. But I will start doin that tho. Also... I was told that a slow digesting carb like an apple was important b4 a workout for energy throughout the workout. It was some video with a guy with an accent explaining diet he had a blue shirt on... idk if you saw it. Anyway... I'll cut that out and see how it goes for awhile. So eating b4 I go to sleep is ok? Its not gonna store it all in fat?

[collar]

about hour or so before bed your fine.
for me straight before bed and i have no porblem, but generally people have their meal like an hour before bed.

you can keep the apple there if you want to, but you can use other stuff utilise your carbs and fullness.
like oats and some other stuff.

Ok cool I'll start eating b4 bed then. I was jux worried it would get stored in fat. Yea and the apple I jux eat cuz of its conveniency. Thanx for the advice man I appreciate it.

if your gnna have fruit it shoudl be a lower GI fruit liek, an apple and shoudl be included with your PWO or preworkout meal IMO.

Yea thats what I usually do. I removed it as my mid day snack and im jux gonna utilize it as a pre work out. I need some kind of energy source or i'll run out of fuel b4 I hit cardio. I would do oatmeal but I jux feel too full after that.

[dj_pacman51]

Im sitting here revising my diet plan and Im stuck at my PWO. What would be a suitable simple carb for PWO that would be best for replineshing glycogen? All I land on is white rice.
