    Macro Managment

    Hey Guys and Gals,

    Being an AAS newbie, I hear this is the place to start. Couple things I'd like to get out of the way, I am not an expert on diet or training but have been hitting the gym for the last 10yrs and have thru trial and error found what training and nutrition works best for my goals(lean mass and strength). My training is mostly multi joint powerlifting and my nutrition has kept me lean while still achieving decent strength gains.

    Since I'm researching doing my first cycle I'd like to make sure that my macros are in check with what's needed to obtain the best results. I have found that eating basically the same things at certain times the easiest way to get my desired macros. I used to keep track of proteins/carbs/fats but having a pretty good idea of whas what I got away from counting em. If that's needed here ill glady post...

    I eat this way 6days a week and generally use sunday as a "cheat day" although my cheat day is still somewhat clean. Since I have been eating clean (or what I consider clean) for so long my body does not do well with any fried or fast foods. So, on my cheat days ill normally have pancakes and syrup for breakfast and some type of lunchmeat and cheese sandwich for lunch. Mainly I use my cheat day as a day off so to speak and don't really focus on hitting all my meals...lazy day, I guess.

    Anyway, I'm a 40 y/o 190lb male with about 10percent bf. Below is what's in my feedbag currently today, with one more meal and a bedtime snack to go. Please, any help whatso ever is welcomed...thanks in advance.

    Immediately upon awakening (always)
    Power Shake:
    16oz water
    2scoops protein
    1cup rolled oats
    1/2c frozen fruit
    2tbsp EVOO
    Blend until smooth

    2 hrs later Breakfast
    3whole eggs/3egg whites scrambled
    1bowl of oatmeal cooked

    Snack
    1 apple
    2hanfulls of walnuts
    Water

    Lunch
    2large pieces orange roughy
    Uncle bens bag of wild rain rice
    BCAA Drink

    Snack
    PBJ on BrownBerry whole grain bread
    Half a cucumber
    Water

    PreWorkout drink/protein
    WORKOUT
    PostWorkout supps/protein

    Dinner
    Steak Sandwich, pieces of seared flank steak on whitebread roll with peppers and onions.
    Sweet potatoe fries
    Large garden salad

    Snack
    Protien Shake

    Ill eat a cup of fatfree cottage cheese with pineapple chuncks before bed.

    I usually keep the powershake, breakfast and snacks the same day after day. Lunch and dinner rotate from chicken, lean red meat and fish to mix it up.

    My goals are to do my first cycle to see what results I achieve...I hear to expect around a 20percent increase in my strength.

    Thanks!

    Welcome!

    I'm not in love with your diet if i'm being honest, there are alot of things i'd change personally, but if you say it works for you, so be it.

    Not sure how we can comment on the diet without macro nutrient info listed however. Please edit your post to include time of day for each meal as well as your workout, and add complete/accurate macro info for each meal, with a grand total at the end of the day.

    Good luck!

    GB,

    Thanks for the reply!

    You don't like it, then ill change it! This has been my maitainence diet for quite sometime. My strength progress is slow but is progress non the less. I work shifts day/aft/mid so times of day change weekly but I start with power shake immediately upon awakening and then shoot for about every 2-3 hours thereafter. Ill post complete totals starting tomorrow. I'm assuming that wanting to do AAS to increase strength will mean a "Bulk" diet. So will adding an additional 500 calories be suitable, if so what macros and when? Strength ncrease is what I want, not necessarily size, although I know that comes with the territory. What I don't want is a big bloated steroid use look.

    Thanks!

    your PPWO meal, i don't think your macros are right. how much did the chicken breasts weigh? a 5 oz piece of chicken breast is usually about 230-240 cals and yields about 40 grams of protein. you may want to try livestrong as your nutrition guide.
