hows this diet look

[DrtyJrzyGuy]

Hey guys, sorry for no update in weeks, i have just een ridiculously busy, i gotta hit the gym at 4am now work by 8am then school till 9 then sleep. . . .

Anyways, I'm looking at starting to cut in the near future, i'm just trying to play around with some diets i could actually deal with. . .i've always had a hard time with chicken and tuna so this is what I have in mind.

7am 1 whole egg, two egg whites, 1 piece of cheese, 2 pieces of toast + post work out protein shake.

10am, granola bar or soemthign of the such, moderate carbs, aroudn 25. . .

12 noon, turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onions, on whole wheat deli bread

4pm another granola bar or something similiar, but much lower in carbs.

6-7pm last meal Chicken salad, steak, turkey burgers, somethign along those lines.


my goal is to drop some serious body fat in about 3 months and simply maintain the muscle i am gaining from the current cycyel. Let me know, any suggestions would be wonderful!!!!

You need more protein, but you need to post your stats before anyone can really give you a definitive answer.

[DrtyJrzyGuy]

ok, stats are 190lbs aroudn 14% body fat. I'm currently on a 500mg a week of test eth, it's my first cycle, i'd rather stay natural for a while because i am content with my current muscle size, i am more concierned with bringing out whats there.

Damn bro, your wayyy low on protein and only 5 meals, 2 without protein and 3 without enough protein. Go back to the drawing board and give us an update.

granola bars are probably full of sugar and sodium which is what you don't want on a cutting diet

also, if you work out first thing in am, that first meal has to be chock full of protein for your muscles

I agree with the rest of the fellas.....up your protien, and definitely lose the granolas; instead, try some oatmeal and at least 50 g Protien for your morning and afternoon snack....JMO...shiner

Great baseline meal plan Klipsch. 6 solid protein meals is the way to go, but if you can't do it, then shakes it is. Would not go less than 4 solid meals for max gains.

[klipsch]

Like I had mentioned, the diet was put together for me by the manufacturer whos suppliments I'm using.(Beverly)
I know less than half of nothing in regards to proper nutrition.

Still a worthy post! As we have noticed not many basic meal plans listed, and many bros are asking. Would be a great sticky to make a meal plan with simple sets/reps basic training format. It would have to be setup for a beginner, especially in the reps and sets department so no injuries, reps/sets alittle higher than normal for buildup. Damn, did someone call me lazy.
