My Diet (Need Suggestions)

[joeb82]

Hello,

I plan on taking clen (2 weeks on/off). I believe my diet is ok, but can be better. I am not taking clen for another month or 2. I have been researching for about 2 months and am still researching.

Let me give you my stats:

I am 6'1 275 lbs (Down from about 325 this time last year)
bf probably high after holidays.

This is a typical Day including Diet:

Morning:
Wake up, Take fat burner
Go do about 45mins of cardio
6 egg whites and one whole egg w/fat free cheese
Animal Pack Vitamin

Mid Morning
Protein Shake (27g)

Lunch
Grilled Veggie Wrap (Wheat wrap)
Banana

Mid Afternoon
Protein Bar or Shake (27g)

Dinner
Grilled Chicken (Made on George Forman Grill......yummm, knocks that fat out. lol)
Brown Rice or pasta
Salad

Evening
Gym
(Typical week)
Monday: Cardio for 1.5 Hours
Tuesday: Backs and Biceps, 30mins of Cardio, Core
Wednesday: Legs, Shoulders, No cardio
Thursday: CHest and Triceps, 30mins of Cardio, Core
Friday: Cardio for about 1 hour.

After workout
Protien Shake (about 35g, Glutamine and Creatine added)

As of now, I know my Gym schedule will change. I will start going to the gym in the afternoon before dinner.

One of my biggest downfalls is Pasta. I have a weak spot for pasta. I try and do healthy pasta. I have a book on low fat, low calorie reciepes for pasta that I have been using. Most of those receipes are about 249 Calories a serving and 6.9 grams of fat.

Also, I am not sure if I am taking in enough or too many calories. I try to keep it at 2500 Calories. I try and burn about 3000 calories at the gym. Its hard to tell how man calories I burn when I am lifting.

Any Suggestions on adjustments?
Note: This is already a huge adjustment from what I was eating when I was 330lbs. I changed my diet cold turkey. Had to because I know myself. A more dramatic diet change is not a big deal. It will have to be done at once and not gradually)

Thank you very much for reading this annoying long post.

Thanks man. Its been alot of hard work. my goal is to get down to about 225lbs. Thats not a big deal if I start to gain muscle as well.

Its hard to to eat during the day when I am on the run. Any suggestions on what to eat? I cant eat fish. I get sick when I eat fish.

Thanks for the compliment and suggestion

do you have any experience with other stims? ECA stack? just caffeine before working out?

This is a typical Day including Diet:

Morning:
Wake up, Take fat burner
Go do about 45mins of cardio
6 egg whites and one whole egg w/fat free cheese replace cheese with oats
Animal Pack Vitamin

Mid Morning
Protein Shake (27g)
need a carb or fat source here

Lunch
Grilled Veggie Wrap (Wheat wrap)
Banana
need lean protein source here (eggs, chicken breast, fish, etc.); replace banana with either veggies or a citrus fruit

Mid Afternoon
Protein Bar or Shake (27g)
eat real food here; ex. chicken breast and almonds would be great

Dinner
Grilled Chicken (Made on George Forman Grill......yummm, knocks that fat out. lol) make several pieces of chicken at once, then you can refrigerate them and eat as you need to; this way, you can bring some pieces with you to work, (assuming you have access to a fridge there) and eat real food for your meals
Brown Rice or pasta
Salad

Evening
Gym
(Typical week)
Monday: Cardio for 1.5 Hours waaay too much; what kind of cardio is this, bike ride, walk?
Tuesday: Backs and Biceps, 30mins of Cardio, Core
Wednesday: Legs, Shoulders, No cardio
Thursday: CHest and Triceps, 30mins of Cardio, Core
Friday: Cardio for about 1 hour.
what about Saturday and Sunday? you could do another cardio session on either of these days, if not both

After workout
Protien Shake (about 35g, Glutamine and Creatine added) creatine is unnecessary for you IMO


As of now, I know my Gym schedule will change. I will start going to the gym in the afternoon before dinner. I highly recommend switching weights to the afternoon, so the nutrition fits in better with the layout of the day; in other words, you can carb up after working out

One of my biggest downfalls is Pasta. I have a weak spot for pasta. I try and do healthy pasta. I have a book on low fat, low calorie reciepes for pasta that I have been using. Most of those receipes are about 249 Calories a serving and 6.9 grams of fat. pasta, the whole grain stuff is ok so long as the quantity is kept to about 30-40 grams worth of carbs; i would recommend eating your pasta with a lean pro source, and keeping fat to a minimum, inc. olive oil on your pasta

Also, I am not sure if I am taking in enough or too many calories. I try to keep it at 2500 Calories. I try and burn about 3000 calories at the gym. this is NOT happening; you're burning about 300-400 cals in a given weight-lifting workout, and about 500-600 in a 45 minute slow-paced cardio workout; determine your TDEE to get an idea how many cals you're using on a daily basis Its hard to tell how man calories I burn when I am lifting. gonna need some more info to accurately determine macro needs, i.e. TDEE

kind of on the run right now, but I wrote some suggestions in bold

Well, Let me try and answer all of the questions.

Pre workout, I dont have alot of experience with pre workout stuff. I have tried to cut back on caffeine. What do you suggest?

Breakfast
I can take the cheese out no problem.

Mid Morning
I am not sure what to add. But I can work on this.

Lunch
I can add lean protein. I just tried to eliminate as much fat from my diet as possible

Mid Afternoon
This is the hardest time of day for me to eat. Alot of meetings and stuff. I can work on this but this will be the hardest one

Dinner
I already do that so I dont have to cook. I can start bringing some to work to eat there

Gym
Im kind of surprised. I didnt think that I was doing too much cardio. I usually switch it up. I tend to do alot of arc trainer because I usually burn 1400-1600 in an hour(according to the readings on the machine). I will also do some treadmill running off and on.

Saturday and Sunday, I usually dont get a chance but I want too. I wouldnt mind doing cardio. How much cardio should I do?

After Work out
I figured I didnt need creatine at this point. Someone suggested it, and I was allittle skeptical.

I have no choice to switch to the afternoon for the gym. My gym does not stay open that late anymore. So I guess thats a good thing.

I always have a lean protien with dinner, or I try to. I have had ham, turkey, or chicken. I have also had eggs.

So far, that seems to be it.

Thank you for the suggestions. Please keep them coming

I was just asking to see what kind of experience or tolerance you may have, b/c clen is not a first-timer kind of stim. Any jitteriness from caffeine? How much caffeine were/are you taking

Breakfast
I can take the cheese out no problem.

Mid Morning
I am not sure what to add. But I can work on this.
adding veggies and/or nuts would work here

Lunch
I can add lean protein. I just tried to eliminate as much fat from my diet as possible
bring in some chicken breast from the night before, or even some beef jerky on occasion

Mid Afternoon
This is the hardest time of day for me to eat. Alot of meetings and stuff. I can work on this but this will be the hardest one
then have a shake if that's all you have time for; this will soon become your pre-workout meal, so make sure to pair the shake with carbs; you can mix up some fruit and oats in your pro shake; obviously, if you can eat a meal, that would be better

Dinner
I already do that so I dont have to cook. I can start bringing some to work to eat there

Gym
Im kind of surprised. I didnt think that I was doing too much cardio. I usually switch it up. I tend to do alot of arc trainer because I usually burn 1400-1600 in an hour(according to the readings on the machine). I will also do some treadmill running off and on.
well, 1.5 hours of continuous cardio, for your goals, is unnecessary; you'd be better off doing two sessions a day, but even that is unnecessary; try doing fasted am cardio on your cardio only days, 45 minutes is sufficient; after weights, 25-30 minutes is good

Saturday and Sunday, I usually dont get a chance but I want too. I wouldnt mind doing cardio. How much cardio should I do?
whenever you wake up, do a 30-40 minute session; try one of two days, if not both; 5 days a week of light-moderate cardio first thing in the am, combined with weights, and esp. a great diet should yield great results pretty quickly

After Work out
I figured I didnt need creatine at this point. Someone suggested it, and I was allittle skeptical.

Ok.

Caffeine really has little to no affect on me. I can and have had coffee all day and all night and still able to fall asleep easy. I never get gitters.

Typical day before I stopped involved me having about 5-6 cups of coffee a day which involved espresso drinks.

Everything else seems to be an easy adjustment.


Do you think Clen would have a bad affect on me even though I am not affected by caffeine?

Thanks again
