Help Me Tweak My Diet
I'm quite new to the forum though I've been reading quite a while.. this is my first post and if i got things right I think I should be pretty close to ball park with the calories/macros that i've set up. I understand most of the diets take some trail and error but if we can shorten the time to get it dialed in it'd be better especially since I notice a lot of people lose motivation trying to figure it out..
Stats:
21Yrs old
230lbs/25% BF
5'11"
5 day training split (Chest, Back, Legs, Shoulders, Chest) Monday - Friday (Chest is weak point)
training day-240g carbs, 65g fats, 245g protein = 2525 Cals
non lifting day- 160g carbs, 65g fat, 245g protein = 2205 Cals
Cardio 5 times a week I try doing HIIT I feel like it helps my metabolism (dead slow atm)
Proteins:
96/4 Beef
Chicken Breasts
Tilapia
Omega 3 Eggs
Carbs:
Brown Rice
Potatoes
Beans
Banana/Apple
Fats:
Greek Yogurt
Nuts
any questions please ask, I'm sure I left some things out. Like I said first post..

Macros looks good.
I would add:
Protein:
Egg whites
Tuna
Whey protein after workout
Casein protein before bed
Carbs:
Oats
Berries
Fats:
Almonds
Egg yolks
Also you should add some vegetables like avocado, salad, brocoli etc.

Thanks man!
Like I said I forgot to add some stuff, I got Tuna and Egg Whites on deck!
I'll try some oats as well
Yeah I bought me a big bag of almonds and pistachios!
I knew the greens would come into play! I'll add them little by little

Hey my man, at 25% bf and only 2,500 and 2,200 calories/day looks like you're trying to cut. I successfully lost 30lbs and cut my bf% from 20 down to 10 in 5 months with a very similar diet to yours. I did the whole 40:40:20 ratio with 40% of calories coming from carbs and protein (250g of each/1,000 calories) and 20% from fat. I was only eating about 55g of fat a day, and healthy fats like from almonds, avocado. I think that did the trick. For carbs you can't go wrong with Oatmeal, and I've incorporated Ezekial bread into a lot of my meals. Those complex carbs and all that fiber does wonders. Fruits are good but most of then have simple sugars in them so it's good to mix it up with some complex carbs with vitamins and minerals. Alcohol too, I was losing weight but really didn't lose the belly until I chilled out on all those light beers.
I think you'll do fine my man.Last edited by GeorgiaSoldia; 05-25-2014 at 11:19 PM.

Thanks!! Well I don't drink or smoke so there's no temptation on that side
I've heard a lot of good things from Ezekial Bread I'll give it a try next time around.
Once again thanks for the support guys. I'm at the point where this little extra support goes a long long way.

My metabolism will slowly start speeding up by itself right? With the proper diet and training

Weight hasn't budged ....
I'm thinking maybe I over estimated my activity level, I'll probably start adding an early morning walk (1Hr)
Maybe I'm under estimating some calories,.. I'll try and eat fairly similar for the rest of the week plus the walk.. see how that goes
