okay, i downloaded that excel spreadsheet BMR calculator, and I am NOWHERE NEAR being able to eat that many calories
it says to put your weight in....is the assumption that you are putting in LBM, i.e. bodyweight - bodyfat = LBM? or are you actually supposed to put your weight in?
Member
Put every skinny pound in there, plus clothing.

Thanks for the excel spreadsheet on bulking. That was very helpful. Great post.

Is it possible to run this diet with 6 meals a day as opposed to 8?
I'm 6'3 220lbs, and will be starting my 1st cycle using 500mg of Test E/week shortly.
Any advice is much appreciated, I'd like to have all of my shit in line before my first jab.

How To Bulk
Remember, leaner bodies need more calories than less leaner ones. Therefore, this equation will be very accurate in all but the very muscular (Harris-Benedict will under-estimate calorie needs) and the very fat (Harris-Benedict will over-estimate calorie needs).”
You say leaner bodies need more calories, which means they are more muscular. Need more calories. Then you say they need to under-estimate calorie needs, which contradicts itself?
can you explain?
I came up with 2520 for maintaining. I have 0 fat on my body at 140lbs.
Thanks, Ricky

Hey in meal one when you say one scoop of whey protein , do you mean the regular protein or or you talking about the 12 hour absorbtion one? I have both but didnt know if i should drink the instant one in the morning or the 12 hour one. thanks for your help

sweet post, but for some with ridiculous metabolism's even when lifting weight, I just cut tremendously, but there is awesome advice that i will try and incorporate to see what change happens. thanks. you guys know some sh*t

Can I get a bump for beg my "semi-bulker"
Junior Member
New member.....okay, done all the calculations correctly.......For a 35 year old, 203 lbs., 6'2" tall, mine came out FOR BULKING....3158 calories (needs work).....316 grams of protein.....WHEW......I can do it or at least get damned close...., 70 grams of fat......I can do that too.......but 316 g's of carbs.....dammit gina....I have to work on that.....
My today's diet consisted of 2694 calories, 60.5 grams of fat, 269 grams of carbs, and 255 grams of protein......its 1:45 in the morning so I can do another 50 gram protein shake right now to make it 305 total.....
SO, I have to eat every two hours...okay....it's on
QUESTIONS.....I see some talk about sugar in here and it seems to be a NO-NO.......am i right in assuming NO SUGAR except for fruits....???? Is that a definite.......
Now I need advise on where to go to find the weight lifting program that I can do on this diet.....I have found a few by looking around, but I want the opinion of the gentleman who came up with all this......
I read about the cardio, that's no prob AT ALL.....I usually do more, but I thought my needed BPM was 148 with your calculations it is now only like 128......should I stick to that.....128 for target heart rate?
ANYWAY, GREAT FUC%*NG POST.....I AM NOW ADDED ALOT MORE TO MY DIET
O, ONE MORE QUESTION.....CAN I SUBSTITUTE SOME OF THOSE FOODS......???? i DONT LIKE SALSA, NOR DO I LIKE CHEESE.......
THANKS.....THAT'S MY NOISE!!!!!

i checked on your weight loss forum but its directed twards builders who need to cut down. not fatties like me who just need to drop lbs so i can continue lifting.....

Weight loss is pretty simple, brotha. Just cut the amount of fat, carb, and sugar intake, considerably. Eat clean, that means no cheating. (No deep fried foods, candy, sugar in general). The only time you should be taking in sugars is post work out, but this doesn't mean you get to chow a twinky when you are done shredding the gym.. you need to eat fruit- like strawberries, apples, blackberries. Stay away from too many bananas (highest sugar content amongst all fruit) You will WANT to eat breakfast (within an hr of waking up), mainly eggs and oats, and do not eat anything 2 hr before going to bed. DRINK WATER- the more water you drink the more hunger you supress. Drink water while you eat, drink water when you aren't eating, just keep drinking water. Don't misinterperet this for chugging water- like some highschool kid trying to pass a drug test, you could get H2o poisoning if you take it to the extreme.
If you wanna cut fat/lose weight while increasing overall fitness, circuit training is for you. Total body routines are the best, mixing upper body lower body and core. Look up some good circuits on google, come up with a game plan that does a full body target and stick to it four times a week with cardio (biking, running, elyptical). If you have leg/knee problems I would not suggest running until you've lost a good amount of weight.
I did mostly bodyweight circuits and tons of biking, dropped 60lbs and have kept it off successfully for 5 years now- the greatest decision of my life. Now I'm trying to bulk up lol go figure.
Good luck home skillet.

Really rad post dude
Senior Member
this is a goo sticky but as stated this is in no way what works for everyone. personally i dont do that pro/carb then pro/fat meal crap during a bulk, it is chicken and potatoes all day long. breakfast is protien and oats and for the rest of the day i eat chicken breasts and about 3.5cups boiled red potatoes. 6 meals a day i eat like this, then at night i will swallow down olive oil/PB and whey right befpre bed to make sure my cals get there. I just started this bulk im currently doing now at around 3000cals ED and am increasing by about 200-250cals ED untill 5000cals is met, at that point i asses and replan my next phase of dieting.
Junior Member
I am currently bulking natural...I've been following pretty close to the first post diet. I've done plenty of cardio in the past through military pt. Now i have the opportunity to cut back on cardio to twice a week and been hitting the weights hard and definitely had some gains. Thanks for the great post of the past from both diets. The second diet puts things into perspective of what is capable in gear and bulking. but, hey I'm 25 and 206 at 5'11'' with somewhere around 12% BF and stronger than ever. Making some good gains...actually lost some weight at first by cutting simples and adding the complex carbs. Right now though after two months I've probably gain 5lbs of lean muscle just in change of diet and adding good cals alone. Thanks, SG

Please Help
OK, your diet sounds great and all, but what about time? Right now I am attending class in the morning, working out, and then going to work from roughly 5-9 at night. I don't have time to eat 8 meals! What can I do about that? I am trying to get bigger now and am kind of new to all the supplements and stuff.
I am about 5'10''-5'11'' and weight 168-170 pounds.
And if someone can help me with one more thing: I am getting on a cycle of tes pretty soon to help jumpstart my growth. I would rather not, but a year after seeing no gainsis pretty discouraging. I was wondering if someone could let me know what would be the best supplements to take while on the tes and which ones would be best to continue taking AFTER I get off the tes to keep my gains? SOMEONE please help me.
Thank you

how the hell do u afford diets like this? thats bulk spending on the food bill and preparation time?
why cant it all come in a can
New Member
That's kinda my problem. Im a college student who's at school for nearly 12 hours each day and I have to be up real early. There's nothing remotely close to healthy near campus and I don't want to drive 15 minutes one way to pick up food; not only can't I afford it, but gas prices too! I guess I should make all my food at night, no? But I have a problem reaching my suggested caloric intake of approximately 3100 kcals; I'm lucky if I squeeze in 2000 with a big ol fat hamburger and french fries. And eight egg whites are pretty rough unless they're fried with a ton of pepper and just a pinch of creole seasoning salt.
Overall, this is/was a sweet post!

awesome read, my question is what about a person who works from 8 pm to roughly 8 am...and works out at the end of day about 2-3 hrs prior to sleep? i took the initial post regimen and tweaked it (accordingly?)...to fit into my schedule. If theres a vet or sr member who wants to critique it, id be more than willing to send it in a PM.
again, i guess i'm fairly lucky since uncle sam will be picking up a good part of my food bill

This is a great post, for sure. It makes great sense. But just now, I also agree with this statement, that is opposed w/ the 'separation' theory. Take note, these people are in a class of their own:
J Beaty: What are your thoughts on the reemergence of the macronutrient food combining theory where carbs shouldn't be mixed with protein/fat meals and fat shouldn't be mixed with protein/carb meals?
L Norton: This is a rather simplistic way of looking at nutrition and focuses mainly on insulin rather than looking at the whole picture. While it probably isn't a good idea to have a really high carb meal with a really high fat meal, there's nothing wrong with having moderate amounts of both.
W Brink: like many theories, it comes around every few years or decades and gets people all worked up over their food. Problem is, it's no more true today then it was when the book Fit for Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond came out. The theory had no scientific support then and it has none now. Humans have been combining fats, carbs, and proteins quite successfully for eons and as omnivores, are perfectly capable of digesting mixed meals.
J Hale: You are probably referring to the theory that assumes insulin and blood levels of fat should never be raised at the same time. This theory assumes that insulin is the key contributor to obesity. There are a few things wrong with this line of thought. One of the key problems is not recognizing something called Acylation Stimulating Protein. Acylation stimulating protein (ASP) is a hormone produced by adipocytes and is of importance for the storage of energy as fat. The consumption of dietary fat alone can increase fat storage. Dietary fat affects fat cell metabolism with NO INCREASE in insulin. Some studies have indicated dietary fat loading found a decrease in HSL (hormone sensitive lipase) and an activation of fat storage despite no increase in insulin. The key reason was activation of acylation stimulating protein (ASP) which is activated by the presence of chylomicrons (basically packaged triglycerides that are found in the bloodstream after the meal). ASP increases glucose uptake into the fat cell, increases insulin release from the pancreas and has been described as 'the most potent stimulator of triglyceride storage' in the fat cells by numerous scientists. Another problem with this line of thought is some proteins causes substantial elevations in insulin. Minimal levels of insulin affect fat cell metabolism. Basal levels can decrease lipolysis by 50%. Another consideration is most bbers are eating every 2-3 hrs so nutrients are still absorbing from previous meals; therefore previous meals interact with the blood levels of nutrients of the present meal.
A study conducted by Golay and colleagues compared a diet with equal macronutrient content and substrate percentages; that differed only in how the substrates were consumed (mixed diet vs. food combining). The results were no difference in weight loss. Here are the exact results reported by the researchers. “Results: There was no significant difference in the amount of weight loss in response to dissociated (6.2 +/- 0.6 kg) or balanced (7.5 +/- 0.4 kg) diets. Furthermore, significant decreases in total body fat and waist-to-hip circumference ratio were seen in both groups, and the magnitude of the changes did not vary as a function of the diet composition. Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, total cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations decreased significantly and similarly in patients receiving both diets. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure values decreased significantly in patients eating balanced diets. The results of this study show that both diets achieved similar weight loss. Total fat weight loss was higher in balanced diets, although differences did not reach statistical significance. Total lean body mass was identically spared in both groups. CONCLUSION: In summary at identical energy intake and similar substrate composition, the dissociated (or 'food combining') diet did not bring any additional loss in weight and body fat”. Actually looks like a slight increase in fat loss with mixed diet (balanced diet). We have tons of anecdotal evidence that denies the need for food combining. We have evolved on a mixed diet. With all of that said food combining may be beneficial regarding calorie control. Once you eliminate an entire macronutrient from a meal this can go a long way in decreasing total caloric intake. If this is what you need to do to control energy intake feel free to do so.
A Aragon: I think that the “P+C & P+F = okay but avoid C+F” principle is idiotic when applied across the board without any contingencies or attention to individual situations. For example, if someone is low-carbing for whatever reason you choose (pathological carbophobia included), they might be done with their carb intake by early afternoon, and their meal construction for the rest of the day is gonna be primarily P+F by sheer default. In the latter scenario, I can see the principle being legit. However, when issued blanketly, it’s usually based upon the wacky idea that you don’t want fat floating around systemically when your insulin levels are high, because this will magically shift your net adipose balance in the positive. That’s false for a number of reasons. First of all, the insulin response generated by CHO + fat generally depends upon the degree of the fat’s saturation. Unsaturated fats tend to either lower insulin response of the coingested carbs, or not affect insulin response at all. Coingested sat fat, on the other hand, tends to raise insulin response, and can do so in a synergistic fashion. But then the question becomes, so what? Others have mentioned the more direct role ASP has in TG synthesis, and indeed, insulin is more of a multi-tasking anabolic/anticatabolic agent in comparison to ASP, which seems to exist solely to pump up the adipocytes. And of course the kicker is that ASP can do its TG-synthesizing magic in the sheer absence of insulin.
And then there’s energy balance… In a negative energy balance, insulinogenesis is wonderful thing, as long as the training stimulus & nutrition is there to work in concert with it to preserve LBM. In the condition of a positive energy balance, trainees in general are gonna have a lot more carbs to throw around, so this makes the whole separation thing even more dicey. Which meals should be carb-free or fat-free in order to pull of this magic separation tactic, and why? The logical answers to this question simply don’t exist. If you were to actually adhere to the mechanics of separation, you’d actually be hard-pressed to maintain a stable insulin profile – which is ironic, since the control of insulin is what “separatists” are aiming for. Regardless of all the previous points, the fundamental shortsight is that digestion/absorption of meals overlap each other when meal frequency is as high as it should be. Therefore, attempting strict separation of the macros = kidding yourself. Not to mention, most foods in nature are a combo of all the macros to begin with.
