Well bout dun with carbload.. Just finishdabout 8oz chikn, 1 whole egg & 6eggwhites omelette, 1 cup oats.. Pretty full now.. Funny every week i get a little less diligent in keeping track of cals and carbs.. Meaning i get so hungry while i cook ill eat a handful of cereal here and a handful there and not really count it.. I did allot 6servings for such activity and am still only at 1100g carbs since last nite.. I also have eaten 400g protein which ive found helps with the hunger i seem to get for the whole 24-30hr carbload.. Protein sources were lean ground beef, chikn breast, and a bunch of eggwhites (omelettes)... Kept fat @80g so..

6728cals
409g pro
1109g carbs
77g fat

Is the damage.. Only drank maybe 2liters water today too and have been pretty vascular as well as abs showing up a little better.. I may eat another carb meAl before bed.. Or i may not.. Kinda tired of eating at this point! At least til tomorrow LOL..

Holy crap! I hope I can eat like that once per week when I lean out...

Id also like to note since ive just completed a 4th carbload of greater than 1100g for a 4th week in a row and have documented fatloss every week i think itd be safe to say im not carb sensitive...??

[baseline_9]

Hey man thx for stopping by! Sometimes life can be hectic for sure! I hope everything works out for ya soon so u can get back on a progrAm i know from ur other thread that when getting cut becomes important enuff to ya ull get it dun .. Look forward to seeing it when it happens! Also i havent forgotten about the diet where u hit the macros including crap food (or tasty food however u wanna look at it) to see if u can still cut.. Maybe one day u can get around to that one!

[Back In Black]

405 I'd be inclined, as it's a short week, to revert back to your pre carb cycle cals and macro's. Or add in a few extra carbs. I lost more fat in the first 2 weeks of my maintenance than in the last 4 weeks of my cut.

Just a thought!

Yeh stem i ran a maintenance diet for about 10days pre carb cycle of @2800cals.. Im gonna go with that again except this time im gonna shoot for:

2500cals
250g pro
250g carbs
56g fat

Already have diet put together..

Actual macros:
2518cals
261g pro
245g carbs
57g fat

Have carbs in meals 1-5.. These carbs do not include veggies which will be 900g broccoli.. I think maintenance is @2800 but figd id start a little low.. May actually do chest/bis tomorrow! Thats gonna be weird

[Back In Black]

Looks good!

Chest-bi's for me too!

[--->>405<<---]

morning guys and gals!

should be a good day today.. debating whether im gonna lift and/or do cardio today.. had power workout yesterday which is a heavy workout.. did 4 sets on chest so i may need to give it a day before working chest again.. ill def do some cardio.. i suppose im gonna be doing more cardio now that im on a maintenance diet again..

[Back In Black]

Nah, maintenance cals and LESS cardio has worked for me! Your call bud.

Give chest a rest definitely. Have a great day!

[bikeral]

Happy Monday 405.

[JohnnnyBlazzze]

Check out the shoes that look like feet i forget what they're called lol.

[--->>405<<---]

well guys i actually woke up this am and did 40mins fasted cardio! it was actually nice not so much while i was doing it but mainly afterward when i was driving to work.. i forgot how much better i feel in the am after i wake up and do cardio and then take a shower and go to work! i think i may incorporate it moreso into my program again.. i did it today cuz yesterday i was feeling a little bloated.. kept checking the mirror to see if id gained any fat.. anyone else do that?

stem wat do u think about a banana added to pwo shake? while running maintenance? the idea of the sugar doesnt seem as if it would be too bad pwo esp since im not so much trying to burn fat at this point but mainly maintain..

That's why I plan to do 30 mins even when bulking. Feel really good all day after morning cardio.

[Back In Black]

Mate I had half a banana with my pre workout meal yesterday. Fruit will have less of an impact when not cutting but still in moderation. Post workout is fine as your fat intake in that meal should be low anyway!

Thanks for making me think about food, not even porridge or pancakes is turning me on today!

[--->>405<<---]

Well chest/bis was good i think i may be holding some water still.. Dont like it.. Considering running 3days at zero carbs to drop it.. Then a small refeed or maybe not.. Itll be cruise time then.. Only thing is if i get rid of the water now thrn go on the cruise boat i mite just pick the water back up anyways.. Maybe i should just try to flush the water out by drinkn a ton of water.. Its mainly in the lower back area.. I feel a little jiggly..

Anyone??

[Back In Black]

Mate, it's just the extra carbs, your body will adjust. Just drink some water. Just wait til the cruise with all the salt laden food, then you'll be holding water!

[--->>405<<---]

Its weird its like im good one day then i wake up and next thing i know i have jiggly stuff where i didnt have jiggly stuff

Also im backed up to boot! Ill be hitting the dang psyllium husk hard today and tomorrow

^^ this never was a prob for me before..

I will say my abs and pecs and shoulders lookd pretty good in the gym after my pump session

[Back In Black]

Jiggly is better on certain parts of a woman than a man.

Mate, eat some dubious chicken like I did and your problem will very quickly disappear!

[Back In Black]

March was the hottest on record. There's been a drought declared in alot of parts of the south east. And it has now rained everyday for 3 weeks. I mean, it's not as if the rain is warm!

[--->>405<<---]

oh i almost forgot.. i weighed last nite at 189.6lbs up from 184 on sunday ... was at 186 this am.. so 2lbs heavier than sunday.. not that i care how much i weigh..

[--->>405<<---]

Jut thought id add to this posted On 4/25/12.. Weight 186..

Did preliminary weigh-in today: 197.2! Now its the end of the day and ive eaten a fair amt today.. Thats 11lbs in 11days LOL!!

SteM just as i suspected im gonna have to cut for prob 4 weeks before i do any maintenance.. Ill be interested to see how i fare after 1 week back on diet.. Im sure a lot of this is water.. But i did eat ALOT of food.. Bad food that tasted good! Have no clue of macros but at a guess at least:
4350-5000cals
150g pro
600g - 800g carbs
150g +- fat

Somewhere in that neighborhood im sure LOL..

[Back In Black]

Mate you just need a big dump!

[--->>405<<---]

LOL ur rite.. had a semi decent one already today! sad that im excited about a good crap LOL gonna take some more psyllium husk today as well.. but first i think ill get my workout in.. may have to do cardio outside cuz im doing a lot of farting.. isnt dieting wonderful! LMAO

[--->>405<<---]

had a decent back/tri workout.. sisnt do any cardio.. didnt do any deads either.. the last thing i need is to hurt my back 2days before a cruise!

[--->>405<<---]

well to start out this is my last day of work before the cruise and i decided tomake it only half a day! YES!!

2. i am tired of farting so im gonna discontinue broccoli from my diet today to see if that helps.. im farting so much that it could have a bad effect on my trip.. ridiculous, maybe i need to go to the doctor bad farting LOL.. i havent had any broccoli today and havent farted but maybe 3 or 4 times.. yesterday i bet i farted 200 times.. \

3. i woke up this am and i think my body is finally letting go of the water it was holding on to.. thank God! i was afraid i was gonna have to run a 2day depletion today and tomorrow to get rid of it.. weighed in at 184 this am so im back to normal..

i tell u coming off a carb cycle like i was on and going back to maintenance was kinda rough.. i suppose its cuz the body wasnt used to carbs and they made me hold water??.. i got all the way up to 190 lbs as of last nite.. it really sucked!

today after work ill do legs and tan and car wash and cut the grass.. should be a good day!

[Back In Black]

More importantly, did you 'give birth' yet!

[--->>405<<---]

LOL .. yeh kind of.. no real BIG solution but more several smaller ones

[bikeral]

Funny how all conversations eventually lead talk about...
