New To This: Diet Plan - Help Please!
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, I gotta say this place rocks!
I'm new to the whole anabolic steroids thing, but I started about a month ago with a few types of steroids and didn't see any changes what-so-ever! I think it came down to the fact my diet wasn't correct, I wasn't eating enough.
I currently just started a cycle of Tren , Winni and Sust by Media Star Labs. I'm taking a ML of everything plus 500 mg a day of winni.
I'm 28, 5"11 and 195lbs. I have a very scrony physique with with a "beer-belly-like" stomach and I'm trying really hard to gain mass, not crazy bodybuilder mass - but not be looked at as "scrony" anymore. I want to be wider and muscular, if that makes any sense..haha.
I was wondering if you guys can please help me with a diet plan? I have no idea how many calories I should be comsuming to achieve my goal. I really need a diet plan that I can follow closely so I can achieve my goals. I truly believe that is the reason I haven't seen any physical changes with being on roids.
Thanks you guys.
Your help would be much apprecated.
Thanks.
Mark

WELCOME! So glad you are here.....the diet gurus will be with you and help you out.
Could you please post what you eat now? This might help them help you more by determining what you are doing right or what needs tweaking.
Thanks.

Hi SlimmerMe,
Thanks very much for the welcome
Currently, my diet is pretty much like this:
Morning: Nothing
Lunch: 1 Chicken Breast, a carb of some sort and salad
Snack: 1 Banana
Pre-Workout: Protein Shake
Dinner: 1 Protein, a carb of some sort and vegetables or salad
That's pretty much it...as you can see, clearly my diet isn't conducive to growth.
So I really need an awesome diet plan that I can follow closely, with the appropriate daily calories so I can grow big with the gear I'm on.
Thanks again!

For now perhaps look around on this forum and find some diets and create one you think you will follow. This can be overwhelming...so IMO come up with a better diet and the guys can go from there.
Gotta have breakfast
more meals as in 6 per day
more food instead of snacks/shakes......
you will get there....gotta be patient!

The issue I'm having is I can't really create a diet plan, until I know how many calories I should be eating per day? Should I be eating 3,000, 10,000? I think once I know that, I can better plan a diet I would think. I'm just hoping someone here can help me out, because I don't want to waste all that money on Tren , Winni and Sust if I won't see anything. Is it true that if I don't eat enough, even if I'm on Tren, Winni and Sust, I will not see any difference in my body aka muscle growth?
Thanks again!

If your diet is not in check all the AAS you do will not stick if the lifestyle is not there. This is why diet/training properly is crucial.
Wait then for a calorie count if you prefer before moving forward. Meantime, read read read here. There are lots of educational stickies which will help you get the knowledge behind the science of what will be asked for you to do.

No offense, but with a diet as poor as yours and no knowledge of how to eat, you're not ready for AAS especially tren .
For a starting point, multiply your lean body mass X 15. Example: Someone weighs 200lbs @ 10% BF. 200 x .9 = 180lbs of LBM. 180 x 15 = 2700 cal to maintain 180lbs of LBM.
That should be close to your maintenance calorie requirements ie. what your body needs to stay the same weight and composition. Raise or lower that number based on your goals. You need to eat lean protein and complex carbohydrates every 3 hrs starting from the time you wake up. Look around on here at some other people's diets for some ideas on food sources and timing.

^^^^thats your starter, come up with a diet plan we can critique with those figures, post it here in the format of protein/carbs/fats/cals for each food item and then the totals for the meal.

So I shouldn't be eating like 9,000 calories a day then? I've read on here people who are scronny and want to gain muscle and mass have to eat that amount of calories, at least!

THANKS! Glad you came here. You will be amazed how you will transform. And like Baseline said, you need to get off the roids. How long have you been on them for now? Need a game plan for this.
You are not that far away from success. Changing your diet will get you to where you want to go.

I know i'm late to this, but wanted to echo the sentiments above. I suggest you get off the gear immediately - you are nowhere near ready for it, physically or in terms of knowledge. You will go so much further with a proper diet, cardio, and training regimen.
I am posting one of my diets below just as an example of a well balanced clean diet. I am not suggesting you follow this as our caloric needs are different. I just wanted to give you an idea of some food choices, meal timing, macro placement, etc. Hope this helps.

GBrice....please explain the calories.. OP is concerned with the number as he wants to gain.....please elaborate...thanks!
-
03-01-2011, 10:00 AM #25
^ ^ I'm a little confused now. OP, you want to gain? No offense, I mean this in the most constructive way possible, but you have relatively high bodyfat. I would not be trying to gain anything at that level. I'd be concerned with reducing my bodyfat while slowly trying to add lean body mass. Once you get down to an appreciable bodyfat, you can focus more on adding mass, but with a body like yours (and I had the same body, so I'm speaking from experience), you should never truly bulk because it will only make people like us fat again. 9000 calories is too much for just about anybody including 275lb bodybuilders, that's number 1. For us, a diet just a bit over maintenance with a ton of cardio would be best.

Feedback
Thanks for your continued feedback you guys, you are really helping a lot. I just want the best possible diet to help achieve my goal of gaining mass and muscle.
After researching, I think my target daily calorie in take should be between 3600-4000 calories. Do you think that would enough for me to reach my goal?
-
03-01-2011, 10:14 AM #27
You not another igrorant cu*t are you?
-
03-01-2011, 10:16 AM #28
I think that a 3600-4000 calorie diet will help you get even fatter. Sure you'll gain some muscle with the proper food choices and training regimen, but you'll never be able to see or appreciate it under the layer of fat that I guarantee will be covering you.
You are easily over 20% bodyfat. I started a bulk (and by bulk, i'm talking 3000 calories) at 15% and wasn't happy with the results. I PROMISE you will not be happy with the way you look if you continue chasing this goal. You will have that much more bodyfat to cut whenever you decide to, and it will be that much harder to maintain any LBM you've gained. Actually, right now is the BEST time to drop bodyfat because as you say, you already have a 'scrawny' physique. With that, there's not much concern of losing LBM. Drop the fat, then start a clean lean mass adding routine.
I am not trying to be a d!ck, I just see too many people going this route and regretting it later. It's ultimately your body and choice, but I personally am not going to advise you on any kind of bulk diet as I feel it would be irresponsible of me. If you change your mind and decide to take my advice, i'll be happy to try and help you in any way I can.

Hi gbrice75: You make a very good point. I mean, I definitely don't want to be fat. But I do want to be scronny, I want a wide chest and muscles, but without body fat. Does that make any sense? If I could achieve a body like yours, I'd be a happy man!
Yes, I am over 20% bodyfat, as you can tell by my photo I posted.

SlimmerMe: I have been on roids for only a month.

It makes perfect sense. There's not a person on this board who wants to be scrawny. We all want wide chests and muscles. What you have to understand is that this isn't an overnight thing, it takes time and there is a way to go about it. It would take you about 6 months to lose the bulk of your bodyfat if you went about it the right way. Yes, you'll look thin and scrawny for a few months - so what? From that point, you will have a 'blank canvass' to start with, and can build nice lean muscle which you will be able to SEE (and that will motivate you to keep going) and appreciate weekly. All you'll see if you try to add muscle now is a big poofy fatty blocky looking body. We all want great bodies, but we all have to pay the way to get there. For alot of us, that means reducing bodyfat first. Hey, I wish I started off as one of these scrawny hardgainers where all I had to do was add muscle. Unfortunately, I started off at 255lbs and spent 2 years cutting bodyfat and trying to add muscle at the same time - you need to focus on one first, and if I were to do it again, that would be cutting bodyfat 100%.

gbrice: Then that is the route I want to take I really need your guidance to get me there.
I've been working out for 2 years now, but as you can tell - clearly I have been doing it all wrong with my diet. You would think after 2 years, my body wouldn't look like it does.
I'm 28, 5"11 and weigh 195lb (without clothing). What are your stats just so I can compare?
Thanks again!

Glad to hear this, and I hope you're not just humoring me. =)
Interesting stats, because i'm also 5'11 and right around 195lbs. The difference is i'm around 12-13% bodyfat and you're over 20%. The good news is like I said before, I was 255lbs and at least 30% bodyfat when I started, so you know it's achievable.
Do you know your exact bodyfat? You should get measured in the gym with skin fold calipers. I can estimate but would much rather get a reading. With that info, I can set a good point for your starting calories - and I can guarantee it won't be anywhere near 4000 lol!

gbrice: Definitely not humoring you. I'm as serious as they get. I'm the type of person that will work hiss *ss off to achieve a goal. I really want a body like yours. I got my bodyfat measure a few months ago, if I remember correctly it was like 36% or 40%...it was really high and still is! haha.
Speaking seriously, can you help me?
-
03-01-2011, 10:53 AM #36
Ok, good! You should be happy to know that whatever the bodyfat reading was then, you are most definitely not upwards of 40% now. I would really like you to go get a current reading. I would be surprised if you're over 30%, at least based on that one pic you posted. You are probably close to 30 though, but I want to be certain.
It might not be a bad idea to start a thread in the member's pics section so you can get a bunch of estimates from other members. Some of the guys are pretty good at this. I'll monitor that thread and see who agrees with me.

gbrice: I will get a current reading of my bodyfat for you, so you can be as accurate as possible with me.
Also, I literally just started a cycle of Tren , Winni and Sust, should I just finish the cycle and then stop until you tell me that's it's ok to start again?
Thanks so much once again, you have no idea how much I appreciate your help, guidance and expertise getting me to achieve a body I can be proud of
