**First6** · 03-19-2010, 01:27 PM

Awesome. Thanks! I will get back to you tomorrow. I have an early morning meeting so I have got to get some z's.

**First6** · 03-19-2010, 09:02 PM

Got it. Thanks.
I may need a little tip on the oats though. I don't currently do them. Do you mind telling me what you use and how they are made/cooked?
Thanks!

**mg1228** · 03-20-2010, 06:06 AM

i use the old fasioned quaker oats---i mix 3/4 cup with 3/4 cup water---i use splenda and cinnamon----about a 1 1/2 min in the microwave----taste good

**First6** · 03-20-2010, 06:33 PM

Is it to little carbs for all the cardio I do?

**First6** · 03-21-2010, 04:39 PM

Wanted to pick up the casein this weekend but still haven't found it.
Where is the best place to get it?
Is it only at gnc etc?

Well, you can buy it from GNC, vitamin shoppe, vitamin world etc.

I like vitamin shoppe because I feel that their staff is decently educated on most of their products and they are usually cheaper.

**First6** · 03-21-2010, 06:19 PM

Thanks
am I on track now with the above cutting diet?

**First6** · 03-22-2010, 05:30 AM

Okay guys. I started this diet today! Let me now if it's good please.

**mg1228** · 03-22-2010, 11:18 AM

try to get the ratios to 40/40/20 or even 40/30/30---food choices look ok

**First6** · 03-22-2010, 11:30 AM

Can do. Thanks,

How important is the casein before bed? Does it have to be 2 scoops or would one be good enough?

Thanks

It was tough to get the carbs back up without choosing the wrong foods. So I added a cup of skim milk, brown rice, and an apple to help out with good carbs. Also had to cut the protien back in places to get the % to work out. I think I should still be okay though since it is still at 1.7 times my body weight.

Not sure where else to cut the protien to get to the 40/30/30... any suggestions? Could the casein before bed be dropped to one scoop instead of 2?

So here is the UPDATE:

Totals:
2138 cals/288 pro/172 carb/39 fat
Calorie breakdown: PROTIEN-53% / CARBS-32% / FAT-16%

(all totals are calories/protein/carbs/fats)
fish oil and multi vitamin will be added in.

Thanks

According to studies, casein prevents the body from turning to the body for breakdown. It is digested through out the night to help prevent catabolism during sleep. However, it is recommended to consume a simple carb upon wake up.

**First6** · 03-22-2010, 01:08 PM

Thanks. Sounds like it is best to keep it at 2 scoops.

I can see another option: change the pre workout shake from 2 scoops down to one. Good or bad idea?
That would get me to a 51/33/16 ratio It would also get me back to 2008 calories (better range for me) instead of 2138.

what are u using to get these macros? it aint right

are your fish oil fats included in macros?

**First6** · 03-22-2010, 07:06 PM

I'm glad you caught that. I didn't think I would have to check the program for accuracy. It had the nutrient data wrong on both the chicken and the oats.

Now I am going to have to go through and check everything.

The "program" is the website the daily burn. It is great for a lot of things but some of it is user created and it can be a problem as you see.

**mg1228** · 03-22-2010, 07:13 PM

yea--once u get the right macros itll b easy--

takes a little work at first---but once u do this for a while u will know em by memory

Meal 6: 6oz Grilled chicken breast & 2 cups vegetables / fish oil
245/36.5/8/5.8

7:00 to 7:30 intense interval cardio. (not every day-see above schedule)

10:00pm before hitting the sack
Meal 7: Casein shake - 1 scoop w/ water / 1tbsp natty pb / fish oil
224.5/29/8/8.5

This should look a lot better. Hopefully the brown minute rice is correct. I will be getting some at the store in the morning so I will double check it.

Sorry about all this confusion. I am glad your experience caught the mistakes so I wasn't eating totally differnet than I thought I was.

...........did u ever figure ur calorie needs (tdee)---i didnt see it?

**First6** · 03-22-2010, 07:44 PM

The oats are Quaker oats old fashioned.

The carbs look right according to all my labels. Tuna-0 fish oil-0 .75 oats-20.25

1g

The calorie needs for cut (-500 or so) is 2015-2265

**First6** · 03-22-2010, 07:49 PM

Just looked up the rice on the makers web site. my macros are correct for that.

Really appreciate all your help Bro!

Yeah in the cylinder. I see the mistake. It's my fault... I punched it in as 3/4 serving (of .5 cup) instead of 34/cup. That'll make a big difference. I will have to redo for meal 1,2, and 3

Igot the calorie range from my wife (she is a personal trainer so I have that part down - just not the nutrition) She used a calculation including my average burn.

**First6** · 03-22-2010, 08:09 PM

With the oats changed
ALSO - took the oats back to .5 cup each serving (now that the numbers are correct) because I was way over on the calories. Is that okay?

Thanks for all your help. Seriously bro your had some real patience and I appreciate it.
I will update in a few weeks!

**mg1228** · 03-22-2010, 10:55 PM

no problem

**First6** · 05-06-2010, 09:35 AM

Down to 14%BF. Seriously tired of chicken and tuna right now but still doing it. It is working!
Losing this fat is Tough! WAY tougher from 17 down to 14 than it was from 24 down to 17. I have been high fat all my life and I think my body is just really holding on to it! LOL

Still going... I will be ready for cycle soon. (I hope)
