Solid. Might want to add a high glycemic (fast-digesting) carb source such as a cantaloupe or banana. The reason being is you've been fasting all night long. Glycogen decreases overnight, and your body begins consuming muscle tissue for fuel. Eat protein and a fast-carb food for breakfast to stop muscle breakdown and encourage protein synthesis.






Meal 2 (this is post workout meal)

50g whey

1 whole white bagel

Good. Switch out the whole white bagel for something like 50g dextrose, maltrodexin, or a serving of Vitargo S2. You can also do it simple with gummy bears, or Pixy Stix. Candies like that are low-fat, but fast-digesting sugars. This is important for replenishing the glycogen lost during a workout. You need a carbohydrate (just like whey protein) that's very fast; it gets right to the muscles and replenishes glycogen levels you depleted in the workout. It's also going to spike insulin levels. Insulin is an anabolic hormone. It helps push all those carbs into the muscle. For recovery, it pushes amino acids ... it pushes the creatine into the muscle where you want it. That not only enhances recovery, but also supports muscle growth.


Meal 3

8oz lean beef of your choice (weighed cooked)

1 cups brown rice

1 cup salad

½ tablespoon olive oil

Very good.


Meal 4

8oz lean chicken breast OR 8oz ground turkey

8oz sweet potato

1 cup salad

Very good.



Meal 5

8oz lean beef OR ground turkey weighed cooked

1 cups brown rice

Okay.




Meal 6

8oz lean beef of your choice OR 3 cups cottage cheese or non-fat greek yogurt

1 cup salad

Yummy. I don't see why a salad and lean beef would be necessary. Casein is much more suitable.

Vets, please help me out if any of this is wrong! I'm still learning myself.

OP - what are your stats? Age? Weight? Height? BF percentage?

Also, what total calories and macro split does your listed diet represent?

Cutting or bulking? Is this a pre cycle or on cycle diet plan?

Shsm, most of what you advised is a little old school, though some folk still follow the 'quick' carbs rule. Most of us here advocate slower digesting carbs to help keep blood sugar levels more stable.

OP I like your food choices but it is dependant on your stats and the cals/macro's as to wheter it is suitable for your goals.

Thats alot of lean beef and I would advise that you vary your protein sources a little more eg eggs, fish.. I always have red meat in my last meal nowadays, it's the perfect go to bed protein source IMO.

And the calorie total and macro split?


Are you cutting before your cycle?

Im not cutting before my cycle. I dont know the macro split but I'll ask 3J. He designed it for me couple weeks ago.
