ur diet is pretty good and ur food choices are spot on, my only problem is ur total macros. 96g of fat is way 2 much, get ur fats to about 70g. most of ur fat is coming from salmon and "lean" meat, although 26g of fat is NOT lean 2 me. chicken or turkey is alot leaner then whatever meat choice you have there. if u replaced that 1 meat with something much leaner ur fats would be perfect. i would say bring your carbs up aswell for a cycle, aprox. 380g-400g would be a good target. ur protein is a little bit high imo, i think closer to 310g would be more accurate for ur bodyweight but thats nit-picking. ur diet is very good apart from ur fats and ur carbs being a little bit to low imo.

I just rechecked my breakdown for the lean meats. I guess I took the wrong numbers.
95% lean ground beef @ 8oz should be:
Pro:56
Carb:0
Fat:14
Cal:363
Maybe my fatty meals I will switch to 6oz portions, and switch a whole egg for just the whites?
I will revise my diet and post back later tonight.
Thanks

Are you currently gaining on this diet...
I would recommend running with this exact diet for 2 weeks and see what whappens to ur weight...
I would recommend some switching around tho...
Protein down a bit, carbs up and fat down...
If I had to sit u sum where it would be
3240 ish cals
300 p
350 c
72 f
We need to know what if doing now any what it is doing to you...

2 cups of oats is 120carbs bro...
Can u switch the cardio and the weight training around...
This will allow for much better nutrient timing...
I really do believe in stacking ur carbs around training now...
I would also drop the cardio to 30-45 mins per session... How frequent? 3-5 x per week I recommend.
U should now be priming for ur cycle... Are you?
Ur food choices are good, keep broccoli in there...

protein and carb look spot on to me.
Good luck.

Actually I was going to start the diet this upcoming weekend and cycle the following. I'm going to work more on my diet tonight and report back
Yes I was planning on doing cardio 4 times a week. I can not switch them around due to my work schedule and my gym closing at the same time I get out. But I also agree with you, I wish I could work out later in the day.
Right now I'm on Palumbo's Cut Diet (have been on for 7 weeks), which is very similar to "the prime" I just reintroduced carbs this week but will be getting strict next week.
Thanks for all thefeedback. It seems I'll have to recalculate my numbers and switch some stuff up with my meals.

I like it...
I think ur calories and macros are where they need to be... Protein doesn't need to be that high but its no biggie...
Overall good... I would just rather see some of the carbs taken out of meal 6 and put into meal one...
U will do fine with this diet...
Don't force too much weight gain... Keep it lean and don't slip up... You can only grow so quickly... Adding more or less calories will not affect this factor greatly

I was just curious. Keto isn't for me; i've run it twice in my life and hated it both times. In all fairness, I didn't do Palumbo's diet which is much more up my alley; I ran CKD which I didn't like at all.
PS - I like your proposed diet alot, I think you're gtg. I partially agree with Base on meal 6 though... i'd take it a step further and remove all carbs from that meal, making it your only pro/fat meal. I'd redistribute those carbs evenly in thirds over meals 1, 2, and 3. Just another suggestion.

How are you measuring your oats? 2 cups dry would be 115g carbs - not 56.

I'm going to try and keep my fat gain at a minimum. I forgot what its like to have so much definition lol. Usually I walk around 225lb but cutting down and actually seeing your muscle more defined is such a great feeling.
How long did you stick with your keto diets for? I hear alot of poele love them but to each their own. I know with Palumbo's diet I wanted to kill myself for the first 1.5-2 weeks. But I also wasn't on a strict diet before that and once you get past those cravings, you start feeling great. Like I said energy goes through the roof and the fat just melts off you. I actually went to pull 600 while on this diet and close to 20 pounds lighter. I actually broke it off the floor about 7" but I know for sure I'll get it in another month
Thanks for the input. I''ll try and tweak it a bit more because it seems like everyone agrees with meal 6.
Yah I messed that up. Check out my revised plan, it should be alittle bit closer. I pulled all my calorie info off caloriecount.com
Thanks for all the help. I'm starting to get really excited to start my cycle. Can't wait to see the final result
