Diets been better but weight has stayed the same.

[BeeStung]

this pass sunday i got a scale that reads body weight, body water, BMI, muscle mass, and body fat. i also order some calipers and they both are giving me about the same reading of body fat (about .2% difference). for the last 3 weeks ive been preping my meal for the week (6 days the 7th day is a cheat day which is just a low calorie day since im really busy that day) and my body fat isnt dropping.

i had a problem with bloat but i added a digestive enzyme and everythings good now as far as that goes. im taking a multi vitamin along with animal pack and fish oil. im also on arimidex now (.5mg EOD) since i started a tren/test cycle.

my question for you all is should i keep eating my 5-6 meals throughout the day and just wait to see if the body fat start going down or should i change something. i dont count calories but again i prep my food and everything is weighed and measured out.

the following is what my diet/training looks like monday-saturday:

I drink a BANG by VPK almost every day and a gallon of water with 2 scoops of Bentacourt BCAAs. 1 scoop of Bentacourt Preworkout and a scoop of Carnitine on training days.

Meal 1: 1 cup egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 2 packets of oatmeal or a whole wheat bagel

Meal 2: 6 oz. chicken, 1 cup veggies, 1/2 cup of rice or 1/2 sweet potato

Snack: Protein shake with 2 scoops of whey, 4-6oz of low fat milk, 1 cup of high protein yogurt (this could almost count as a meal)

Meal 3: 4 oz. White fish, 1 cup veggies, 1/2 cup of rice or 1/2 sweet potato

Snack: 1 cup of high protein yogurt

Meal 4: Pre workout meal 4oz of ground beef or extra lean turkey with cottage cheese

GYM TIME! 10-15 minutes of cardio (stair climber which a heart rate ranging 145-165) followed by an hour and a half of lifting (Heavy lift and a light lift i.e. Monday is chest and light back)

Meal 5: Post workout 6-8 oz. of lean protein source (Fish, Chicken, or Turkey) with a whole sweet potato or 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of veggies.

Meal 6: If im feeling hungry later then ill eat about a cup of cottage cheese as directed by another member.

Again, this schedule is very strict. My girl and I cook about 30 meals every sunday.

Ill post all the body water and so on so forth later when i weigh myself.

How long have you been in this meal plan?

[BeeStung]

How long have you been in this meal plan?

about 3 weeks

[Bio-Active]

Give it a couple more weeks and then adjust. If you haven't gained then you know that's your maintenance. If you adjust sooner then just bump another 500 calories Ed

[BeeStung]

if i bump the calories ill gain the weight but is the BF% going to go down?

[Bio-Active]

that's why I wouldn't by pit more then 500 Ed. What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to cut?

[BeeStung]

well im always trying to get bigger but i dont want to stay at 18% BF. TBH its kinda hard to believe when i judge the way i look based off of the comparison pictures.

I would cut. It will make you look bigger

should i just maintain that meal plan for now then for a few more weeks?

[Bio-Active]

should i just maintain that meal plan for now then for a few more weeks?

Yes one or 2 more weeks and then reduce calories

[BeeStung]

Yes one or 2 more weeks and then reduce calories

alright and now this will be sound stupid but how do people stay such a heavy weight but be lean as f&#k

it's all about the food that they eat and how long you been doing this. It's a marathon not a 100 meter dash. It just takes time and the right genetics

Also with all the meal drink water as much as you can.

yea the last week ive been filling a gallon of water and putting 2 scoops of aminos in them. i normally finish the gallon before i leave work at 4 so i still have plenty more time to drink.

Take carbs out of the first meal. Move them to pre / post workout. Do HIIT upon awakening. those changes should help you move in the right direction.

yea this morning i was running behind and i actually didnt have any carbs and it kinda sucked but i lived. id have to wake up really early for the hiit in the morning but its something i was thinking of doing to begin with anyway

[MIKE_XXL]

Thats odd that it sucked, most people function better on no carbs in the morning. increase the fat intake to 4 whole eggs and some shredded cheese on top.

well since i was out of egg whites thats what i did. i had 4 whole eggs with a half ounce of cheese. i normally have that meal around 7 and i eat again between 9-10 depending how busy i am at work. would it be ok to get some carbs by then?

[MIKE_XXL]

Yes, generally i only skip carbs first meal, then i regulate what kind of carbs i have depending on what time of the day it is and in reference to my work out.
