critique good or bad, low carb diet plan

[xandermerlin]

[B][I]As always, I hope my fellow brothers on the forum can help me tweak my low carb diet I’ve written out. I’m currently 6’0, 195-200lbs n body fat is unknown, but I’m sure it’s in the high 20%, as I’ve really let myself go for the past 1yr ½ due to personal reasons that were affecting me both physically and mentally ,but I’m glad that’s all in the past and I can move on to a better me. I’ll be lifting 6 days on and 1 day off. Any helpful critiques, be it good or bad are what I’m looking for and greatly appreciated. Supplements I’ll be using will be creatine, l-glutamine, multivitamins, bcaa’s, pre- intra-workout supps…
Meal 1 ( post-workout)
3 scoops whey isolate
2 cups basmati rice (large muscles 60-90g carbs, small muscles 30-60g carbs)
10 g creatine
Meal 2
8oz steak
Asparagus
1tbsp olive oil
Meal 3
2 cans tuna low sodium/oil
1oz raw almonds
Meal 4
8oz chicken breast
1 whole avocado
Asparagus
Meal 5
2 scoops whey isolate
3 whole eggs
1tbsp coconut oil
4oz steak
Meal 6
5 whole eggs
2 scoops casein
And thanks again….

the low carb approach isnt for everyone, but if you like it then go for it. My buddy gets ready for shows on 400 carbs daily, so dont think that carbs are bad

I think it looks real good. I understand about having personal things happening in life that really can affect your training.
I like to throw in a lot of good fat when I am going low carb. Seems to give me energy. Olive oil, coconut , fish oil, etc..Looks like you are doing that.
Good luck

Re: critique good or bad, low carb diet plan

So by looking at this...is meal 1 your breakfast? You said this was PW, so I would personally cut down to 2 scoops whey and a fast acting carb such as a banana or something. I think that 3 scoops is wasteful and that is to much for the body to digest at once. make sure to consume that PW shake within a 1/2 hour of training. Then I would eat meal 2 within and hour of the PW shake and add the rice to that meal.

Meals 3 and 4 look good,.

In meal 5, I would up the ounces of lean meat and not include the whey powder. You need the good fat here and the coconut oil will give you that. I would cut out the eggs and add more veggies preferably green ones.

Now I am assuming that meal 6 is before bed? That being said casien is fine because it works slower and is good before bed. I might combine it with some almond milk and I would cut out the eggs. If you are using whey that is not casien, before bed, then combine it with a good fat like peanut bitter or almonds and that will hel p the protein work slower as casein does.

Eggs are good but I think you need less whole eggs but some are okay. Get the fats from the "good fat" sources. Also, would be better to cut down on the whey supps and put in real food.

I will says that if this is working for you then continue. I realize that it is easier sometimes to get the protein you need in the supps rather than eating so much. If you could just use the whey for your PW shake and before bed, I feel that that would be enough. My recommendations are just based on what I am looking at and this is what I would changes. I really would like to see this all broken down in fats, carbs and protein and of course, it always matters what one's goals and stats are.
