I am 23 yrs old, 5'8, 152pds with 15% body fat. My needed calorie intake just to 'maintain' is 3,150 calories (very active lifestyle). My goal is to stay around 15% body fat (or just a tad bit lower) and get to 190pds solid. I guess I will need a 'bulk' diet?
Let me add, I will soon be taking my first steroid cycle which I am going to go Ronnie Rowlands way with his "Slingshot" cycling.
I will take Test-e 500mgs a week for 8 weeks, reduce the dosage to 250mgs a week for weeks 9 and 10, and then "reload" on weeks 11-18 with again Test-e at 500mgs AND Deca at 400mgs. After week 18 I will then "deload" by only taking test-e at 250mgs for weeks 19 & 20. Then will PCT weeks 21-23.
I hope I havn't lost you I'm just trying to be precise as possible.
ALSO I should add, I will be working out within 50 minutes of waking up and approx. 30min AFTER my 1st meal of the day.
Wake up- 3am
??Eat 1st meal (40 min before workout)- 315
Drink NO xplode- 355
In gym working out- 405
Finish workout (drink cellmass)- 515
40gm Whey- 535
??Small meal before I start work- 615
I will not be able to have another meal between 615 and 12 because of work demands, so I just consume a 30gm protein bar here around 945 am.
I am in need of dire help BEFORE I start my cycle. I REFUSE to start cycle if I don't first get expert advise on my diet.
Sooo I guess my question/ questions for you guys are:
1. How many total calories should I be striving for to reach my goal and the macros?
2. What would be a good but yet small breakfast I can have without feeling to full since I will be in the gym less than 45 minutes after consuming?
3. And what should I have at lunch at 12pm?
Thank you guys in advance and I'm sorry for such newb questions
