very helpfull guys. best forum ive read so far. giving me great information i need to build a good diet. thanks
Hey beast being that my last diet sucked i have spent all day creating a new one with the help of other members post. here it is.
Harris Benedict Formula: 66+ (1071) + (876) – (136) = 1877
1877 x 1.725= 3238
Calories to maintain current weight @ 172lbs, height at 5’9”, 20 years of age.
I'm right on target with my diet but I know i need help somewhere in there, if I want to put on a lb of muscle a week i need to eat about 3740 calories a day. At this moment I'm at approx. 3530. Any suggestions? I currently work from 8am-8:30pm @ a dealership so I'm on the tightest schedule of my life and all i do is work diet and workout, thanks for your input once again

I would add a meal after your post workout. this meal would include pro/low gi carbs and a small ammount of EFAs. oats with egg whites and a little flax or chicken and brown rice with flax would be good. if you need to increase cals more then a pro/fat shake in the night would be good too
Once again Thank you very much, I'll be able to see the difference soon, I appreciate youe help.

Continuing from my diet feedback previously in this thread, what do you think of my Pre-workout and Post-workout nutrition:
Pre-workout:
1 cup oats
1 scoop whey
Post-workout
1 cup oats
1/2 apple
2 scoops whey
1.5 hours later
6-8oz chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
1 tbsp udos oil
veg
Possibly more carbs post workout, i.e. whole apple instead of half? I have to eat whole foods before and after. Cannot use liquids.
wanted to post private mssg first....

Beast, I wanted to know what is your take on whey isolate shakes (made with water) in prep contest. Take them all the way up to the show, or cut them out? And carbs, how much and when? I'm 230 lbs at 5-6% BF. I'm currently doing low, med, high days. 50g, 100g, 150g. Also, i do cardio 15-20min after wo and then 40-45min at night. On non wo days 35min first thing in morning and then 40-45min at night. Protein is currently 430g a day. 200g comes from shakes/aminos/beef tabs. Thanks for any help

Hey, I saw your post on helping the young ones with the diet. I am having areal problem here gaining wait. I am 19 years old, 20 in August, and I weigh about 140lbs and am 6' 0", tall and skinny. I have no problem turning what fat I have into muscle and getting firm muscles but I just can't gain weight. I will be the first to admit I do not have a regular diet, mainly because I have no idea what to eat! I don't know what food to combine with my workout routine. I don't even really have a good workout routine!!! It's a shame because I have a whole workout center in my basement and I am really looking to get into it starting NOW! I could really use a good diet to start on, a good workout routine, and somemore information on creatine... which I have taken but I think I'm doing something wrong there. I am just sick of finding some nonsense on the internet and trying it to find out it doesn't work. You seem to know what you're talking about so please, help me out here bro!
Your Friend in a Cool Place, Dave a.k.a. HardKnox
well i have tried for a while to cut down and it seems like I'm not moving as fast as i want to but then again who does, i loose and average pound a week, I'm going to post my diet and maybe you guys can give me some reasons why its not going faster than that? or if I'm eating the wrong things and the wrong times. I'm 6'3 282 and 20% body fat train 3 days a week with cardio post workout and cardio also on 2 other days, hiit 30min 2 times and steady state for 45 min 3 times.
I need 4000 calories a day to maintain from one of the calculators i put my info into

Cals: 812 Fat: 49 Carb: 24 Prot: 65

Cals: 1064 Fat 74 Carb: 0 Prot 94
Total for the day is
Cals: 3232 Fat: 159 Carb: 96 Prot: 337

hey beast, I currently weigh 155 Lb's and im 5"11 and dont know what percent body fat but im guessing high.
My goal is to soon take some AS (either winny or anstrol, maybe something else if you have any advice) and to cut my fat/gain muscle without looking too bulky but i do want to be ******/big (if that makes sense)
heres my diet now as of 2 weeks ago:
mon-fri: breakfast Egg whites + 2 pieces of whole grain toast + coffee + 16oz of water
3hrs: protein shake
lunch: generally a can of tuna on whole grain bread, I have a really healthy cereal for carbs/fiber it comes in two biscuts i only eat one that equals out to 67 calories
3hrsrotein shake
dinner:turkey sandhiwch/chick sandwhich something with lean meat + veggies
and then on weekends I eat whatever and drink at partys
