Hey guys. I posted a question over in q&a regarding my next cycle, i.e. dosages etc. as I have been finding it impossible to break 190lbs @ 5'7 while staying fairly lean. They suggested I post up my diet over here and get some input on that as well. Even though I believe it's good, doesn't hurt to get some other opinions. Just so you know, I am absolutely not intersted in a "dirty bulk" so to speak. I did that in the past, and was able to reach 220lbs, but in all honesty, I looked like absolute crap. I am a firm believer in being able to gain muscle without sacrificing to much in the way of bf, i.e. not having to go over 12% or so, especially when AAS is in use. So here is my meal plan:
M1: 1 cup egg whites, 1 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup salsa, 2 tsp virgin coconut oil, 2 tblsp chia seeds. - 40p, 60c, 20f
M2 (PWO): 1 can tuna, 1/2 cup salsa, 8oz rice - 40p, 60c, 0f
M3 (PWO): 60g whey isolate, gala apple - 60p, 20c, 0f
M4 (PPWO): 1 can tuna, 1/2 cup salsa, 8oz rice or pasta - 40p, 60c, 0f
M5: 1/2 lb hamburger (costco) - 40-50p, 0c, 20f
M6: 1 cup egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 1 tsp virgin coconut oil, 1 tbls flax seed oil - 40p 0c, 30f
So there you have it. A couple notes to add: I may have OVER estimated the 1/2 cup salsa in the meals. Might only be 1/4 cup or so. It's really just enough to taste/flavour
I sometimes (1 or 2 times a week) reduce the total carbs if I feel "overly saturated" so to speak. Just bloated, and heavy feeling really. I do this by pretty much cutting them in half, and increasing the fat intake slightly. I.e. 1/2 cup oats in the morning, but I add 1 whole egg to the egg whites. I find when I do this, the "over saturated" with carbs feelings go away. Not sure if this is right or not, but I do feel I'm carb sensitive. For example, in dorian yates blood and guts, he states 1-1.5 g protein per pound (which is fine for me) and twice that amount in carbs. Now if I ate that many carbs daily, I would become a fat ass right quick lol
Remember, my goal is to add lean mass. I can post up some recent pics of myself if that helps
Help please! Wanna be 205-210 around the same bf!
