Long time no Talk Diet Help
Hey guys, been a long long time! So no need for the stories about why I've been gone but between injuries and some health stuff the gym has been a much lower priority even when I've been able to go. I'm at about 205 and have to be around 20% bf. Definitely let myself go and I'm over looking like shit. Not on here for cycling just yet. Just thinking of dieting and trying to lean back up for now.
For the next 8 weeks in going to diet with 5 days of weight a week and 4 with morning fasted cardio. Any advice on the diet to help keep it not montanous would me greatly appreciated.
Meal 1: 6 Whites and 4 whole eggs, cup of oatmeal
Meal 2: 50g of protein in almond milk with a tbsp of an natural PB
Meal 3: 8 oz of chicken with some spinach and other raw veggies with a vinaigrette dressing.
Meal 4: Post workout another 50g of whey with a tbsp of all natural pb and fruit for simple carbs
Meal 5: Either 8oz of chicken, steak, or salmon post workout with more greens
Again please feel free to give any suggestions or comments , even if it's "this is awful"
Thanks

Hi there, I think a proper diet plan helps to make you aware of the eating habits. My friend is following a diet plan and according to him it is the best diet plan helps to make you active. I think you can also try this.
thenatty11I know some guys who don't follow it but look into fasting for a good part of the day. I would do this when cutting by fasting til 2.
protein powder doest count as a real meal. you cant replace all the benefits you get with whole food by trying to substitute it with a powder. gains will always be better with real food

Thanks man. I definitely understand protein powder is just a supplement and can't beat what you get out of Whole Foods. But right now i understand doing so may sacrifice some muscle mass which I'm ok with. When I go to build back up I most definitely will be using almost all whole food
Greetings Ted, good to be back on the merry-go-round!
Id say, small tweaks, if you've put fat on, you want to reset insulin sensitivity, so Id be inclined to move the 1st carb meal to, oats, to 1-2 hours pre workout and the fruits for after the workout and then green carbs for the meal after the post workout fruits.- so as to program your body, in the am by hydrating it, and then eating fats for the first couple of meals.You set yourself up to run on fat (and draw reserves) and to use the carbs pre/post workout for high intensity fuel, I'd also switch meal 4 and 5, if it were me
Ok so you think the best route is switch 4 and 5. And then have whole grain carbs pre-workout 1-2 hours with simple carbs post workout?
That's what I'd be inclined to do. Fats in am. Carbs pre/perri/post workout. Then start dialling carbs down to cruciferous veg later in the day and last meal fats/protein
Of course program it to fit your workout. I tend to workout lunch or lunch+late pm.
Welcome back to the grind my man
Thanks man. Gonna try and get back to where I was
