My current diet

[gbrice75]

Haven't posted it in a long time and just figured i'd do so, for sh!ts and giggles.

Note - I am currently taking a little break from IF, so this is a SOMEWHAT standard diet. However, it's more lenient in terms of carb and meal timing in general, as I need some sanity in my life:

5am: Meal 1 (preworkout)
1 whole egg + 1/2 cup whites - 18g protein, 4.5g fat
1 cup spinach (negligible macros)
1 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt - 24g protein, 9g carbs
1/2 cup oats - 5g protein, 25g carbs, 2.5g fat
1/2 cup blueberries - 15g carbs
3 fish oil caps - 3g fat

42g protein, 34g carbs, 11g fat

OR

1 whole egg + 1/4 cup whites - 12g protein, 4.5g fat
3 slices lean canadian bacon - 11g protein, 1.5g fat
1 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt - 24g protein, 9g carbs
1 light English muffin - 2g protein, 15g carbs, 1g fat
1/4 cup blueberries - 7g carbs
3 fish oil caps - 3g fat

47g protein, 31g carbs, 10g fat

8am - Meal 2 (pwo)
1 scoop ON Casein - 24g protein, 3g carbs, .5g fat
1 scoop Myofusion - 24g protein, 7g carbs, 2g fat (will be replacing with ON Pro Complex soon)
1/2 cup oats - 5g protein, 25g carbs, 2.5g fat

48g protein, 35g carbs, 5g fat

12pm - Meal 3
8oz boneless skinless chicken breast - 50g protein, 4g fat
30g blue cheese - 5g protein, 8g fat
1 small apple - 10g carbs
2 cups mixed greens (spinach, romaine, mesclun, etc) - negligible
2tbsp raspberry pomegranite dressing - 7g carbs, 3g fat
3 fish oil caps - 3g fat

55g protein, 17g carbs, 18g fat

3pm - Meal 4
1/2 cup 1% milkfat no salt added cottage cheese - 15g protein, 1.5g fat
2oz low fat beef jerky - 30g protein, 9g carbs, 2g fat
3 fish oil caps - 3g fat

45g protein, 6.5g fat

7pm - Meal 5
7oz 95/5 lean ground beef - 50g protein, 7g fat
1 light english muffin - 2g protein, 15g carbs, 1g fat
2 cups veggies (spinach, broccoli, etc - something green) - negligible
3 fish oil caps - 3g fat

52g protein, 15g carbs, 11g fat

DAILY TOTAL: 250-275g protein, 115-130g carbs, 50-60g fat

That's it, not currently doing a bedtime meal unless i'm actually hungry. These are the types of allowances and flexibility i'm talking about.

what made you quit the IF diet? life?

[gbrice75]

^^ just taking a little break... wanted to start eating a 'regular' preworkout meal again, and changing things up keeps it all fresh for me. I'll still do IF... intermittently!

[RaginCajun]

i have been pondering changing it up also. i have been IF'ing for about 6-7 months.

[gbrice75]

That's a long time. Although IF is touted as a way of eating for life (which it certainly can be), I personally need to change things up to keep them from getting stagnant. I'd never be able to go 6-7 months, kudos for that!

[cue_artist]

how much weight did you lose when doing IF ?

[warchild]

where are the donuts??? ;-)

[gbrice75]

how much weight did you lose when doing IF ?

Just a few lbs. I was using IF for more of a recomp than anything else.

where are the donuts??? ;-)

Remember that flexibility I mentioned?!?

Nice to see you over in the diet section! To what do we owe this rare occurence?

[RaginCajun]

how much weight did you lose when doing IF ?

i went from 185lbs to 170 in about 6 months

[gbrice75]

^^ lol... when you're ready, we're here for you!

[--->>405<<---]

GB hows it going buddy? im back on a cut again. 2monthsa of no cardio and 3500cals 300+g carbs and fruit finally caught up to me

[warchild]

^^ lol... when you're ready, we're here for you!

thnx bro! im in a lazy phase now. i do ok if i cut carbs and do hiit cardio. i get down to 10-12% bf fairly easy.

[bikeral]

Hey GB I like that you integrate some "regular" food into your diet. How is the cut going so far?

[gbrice75]

Yep, that can happen! 2+ months of being lazy did it to me!

thnx bro! im in a lazy phase now. i do ok if i cut carbs and do hiit cardio. i get down to 10-12% bf fairly easy.

Damn TRT guys!!!

Hey GB I like that you integrate some "regular" food into your diet. How is the cut going so far?

That was big for me. Simply put, i'm tired of dieting, and worrying about what I eat. Bottom line - my diet is better than 99% of people out there. I'm not going to sweat a bowl of oats vs. an English Muffin. If that's the difference of being 12% bodyfat vs. 9% (not saying that's the case however), then i'll accept 12% and a somewhat normal life.

[Back In Black]

Is that less than 2000cals on a 'normal' day?

Over here we just call English muffins - muffins. Though we also call cake muffins - muffins!

[warchild]

yes us damn trt guys. you just wait till you're one......

[gbrice75]

Is that less than 2000cals on a 'normal' day?

For the most part, every day is a 'normal' day for me right now. I'm training 5x a week, so I don't have any off days during the week... and i'm not really dieting on the weekends, but doing my best not to go wild either.

Over here we just call English muffins - muffins. Though we also call cake muffins - muffins!

Makes sense!

yes us damn trt guys. you just wait till you're one......

Consultation in 5 hours, we shall see!

[warchild]

[--->>405<<---]

WOW GB i didnt know u were getting evaluated man. i wish u luck! in one sense i hope ur not low test but in another its pretty good when u find out and can fix it! speaking from personal experience either way i look forward to hearing ur results

[RaginCajun]

wish ya luck on the evaluation as well. question, i remember you stating that your wife was getting into the whole diet/nutrition thing. how is that coming along?

[gbrice75]

awesome im dying to know how it goes for you. keep us posted!

No doubt, thanks for your support!!

WOW GB i didnt know u were getting evaluated man. i wish u luck! in one sense i hope ur not low test but in another its pretty good when u find out and can fix it! speaking from personal experience either way i look forward to hearing ur results

Thx bro. I have many reasons to believe my T is low, aside from the fact I can't build any appreciable muscle mass and have a TERRIBLE time losing bodyfat. I keep repeating this, but my one major concern is infertility. My wife and I want to have at least 1 more kid... if TRT is going to compromise that, it's a deal breaker. I will have to really get into HCG , HMG, etc. with the doc.

wish ya luck on the evaluation as well. question, i remember you stating that your wife was getting into the whole diet/nutrition thing. how is that coming along?

Meh, she kinda fell off already lol. Once in a while she gets really into it... this wasn't one of those times. It'll happen!

[AXx]

GB, first off I want to thank you for being very kind and forthcoming with your knowledge to me. I wish I had known this stuff yrs ago.

Good luck on your new eating. If you need any info or help I'm your man, LOL J/K really.

Now get back to that Avy pic. Good luck with the consult. Keep us posted.

[gbrice75]

^^ thx brother, i'm working on it!!!

PS - no luck yesterday with the TRT doc. Check out my thread in the HRT section for details and updates.

[gbrice75]

hahahaha!

[RaginCajun]

bumpity!

[gbrice75]

^^ I'm here bro!! Did I miss a ??? or anything?

[Back In Black]

Hmmmmm, you're worse at updating your thread than I am of mine

[RaginCajun]

nope! just checkin on ya. i have been using your advice on carbs and am loving the whole wheat eng muffins! how's little matt doing?

[gbrice75]

Hmmmmm, you're worse at updating your thread than I am of mine

lol, I know... i've been really bad. I'm on the board about 30% as much as I used to be... it's tough to keep up with everything! Even worse - this isn't even my thread! This is just a 'shits and giggles' thread. I don't even know where my real thread is, or the last time I updated it.

[RaginCajun]

Hmmmmm, you're worse at updating your thread than I am of mine

yup!!!!!!!

[gbrice75]

I will say this though - feeling fairly strong. Benched 255lbs x 7 with no spot, perfect form. Slow negative, touched chest, no bouncing, exploded back up, full ROM. I'm far from the powerlifter type, so 255lbs for reps is pretty good for me.

[AXx]

Checking in bro. Hope all is well

[gbrice75]

Feeling decent, how about you?

Thanks for checking in brother.

[AXx]

I actuallt feel really well. Weight is still coming off nicely. Getting stronger and more vascular, so something is working!!

[gbrice75]

^^ perfect!!
