what diet do you use to get ripped?

[Alexander D]

Lower protein too.  30 grams per meal is totally sufficient even if on low carb.

By high protein, I mean in the range of 1 gram per pound of bodyweight is more than enough... But if you are going to eat "too much" of something, protein is a safer bet...

I also agree 30-40grams per serving is what I find works best for me.

by safer you mean in terms of not adding bf?  Cause I think too much protein is hard on the kidneys.

Yes much harder to convert protein to bodyfat than carbs... and i wouldn't worry about protein messing up your kidneys... you should be more concerned about too much simple sugars and carbs and becoming diabetic- that would really fuck up your kidney's much worse than 200g of protein a day lol... just drink a lot of water.

i'll help out.

my calories are about 12.5-13 times my bodyweight (EDIT- this number is wrong due to the fact i added in 40 grams of coconut oil into my diet. im prolly now closer to 15x) i have dieted with 8-10 times calories/ bodyweight usually but i am getting better results with more calories, and no cardio.

starches are about 80 grm only. the rest of the carbs are fiberous- 24oz of brocolli a day, 2 green peppers, and 12 cups spinach. very high in fiber.

fats are very high. about 140 grams a day.
protein is 1.7 times bodyweight.

im gaining size, and leaning out at the same time. this is the first time this has happened. my doses are the lowest they have been in 3 years as well, leading me to believe any gains i am having are entirely dietary based.

what does a typical daily menu look like?

I've never tried coconut oil so I'm wonderintg how you use that (i.e do you cook with it or mix it into food after cooking)?

coconut oil is an MCT and is the bomb so far as fats go.

the fats are 40 grams from coconut oil- i put it on my broccoli and chicken after its cooked- its like a solid white paste, but then when you put your meal in the mircowave to heat it up it melts, 80 grams from almonds, 20 grams from red meat and 3 whole omega 3 eggs.

are the 12 cups of spinach raw or frozen

I eat a lot of spinach (organic, chopped, frozen from Whole Foods) but I always measure it by weight (grams) and never by the cup

spinach is raw. edit: ive noticed a massive difference in my dieting by eating so many fiberous carbs.

high carb, low fat
Low carb
Keto
Calories in/calories out (adequate protein)?

I've done it the keto way (less than 50 grams of carbs per day) and the I've done it the TKD (timed keto diet) way.  They both worked great.  I prefer the TKD method.

moderate protein / rest irrelevant diet

I think you forgot the most important thing, a calorie deficit.
