too many shakes.
BMR/TDEE?
is the deli turkey processed or is it freshly sliced? deli has all kinds of sodium etc in it.

[GuybrushThreepwod]

Turkey is fresh sliced and low sodium. Not the best I know, but it's easy!

I can switch the 9pm Casein shake for Low Fat Cottage cheese.

The shakes for Post WO is pretty standard. I don't know anyone who doesn't consume a shake after workouts.

(I don't know what BMR/TDEE means...)

I just noticed that the post blocked out 0mega-3. I wonder why?

***Better

***Maybe so but 4 of your meals are shakes. I take in a 20g whey only shake before cardio then eat real food after that. Do you wanna look like everyone or a select few? Have to eat like them.

(i don't know what bmr/tdee means...)
***here you go!!
Bmr formula #1 (if you bf is high, use this one... You need an accurate bf reading)

bmr formula #2 (only to be used if your bf is low)

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

*Probably a source website at one time.

i wrote it in there

Do you wanna look like everyone or a select few? Have to eat like them.

Point taken. How about a chicken breast, 1 scoop whey, carb shake, and creatine for the PWO? Better?

I did the calculation and came up with 3139.1375.

so what you're saying Is I need to eat an extra 600 calories or so? On a cutting diet?

[jamyjamjr]

how the hell are u getting over 200g carbs in with what your eating?? give me macros for each meal...

you want to be at about 2600. plus I would add cardio. If you do a lot of cardio then then maybe up cals a little

What is the purpose of the BMR/TDEE thing? Is that a maintenance number?

[jamyjamjr]

100g carbs pwo is way too much.. cut that in half.. take the other fifty and do them directly pre workout and make sure they're complex..

then that looks decent.. thogh i'd wantt to cut back on the protien a bit and add some efa's in it's place

So for instance:

Prewo 1 scoop whey, 1 cup brown rice

Postwo 1 scoop whey, chicken breast, creatine, 50g carb shake


And just snack on some nuts through out the day?

[jamyjamjr]

no, you would need to cut some protien to snack on the nuts.. lower your protien level and then snack on the nuts.. almonds would be ideal

[GuybrushThreepwod]

sounds like a plan! Thanks jamyjamjr

[vingtor]

make sure you take your PWO 15 minutes after workout, lets the insulin blocking hormones "die" out of your system to allow insulin to kick in. your morning breakfest should have carbs in it. probobly to exchanges(30grams) cause your TEF(thermic effect of food) is highest in the morning, allowing your body to break it down, and also to stop your bdoy from destroying LBM(lean body mass) after a catabolic night.
