Title: Problem of too small meal on a diet?
Post by: wavelength on October 27, 2008, 01:50:51 PM
OK, so I got my meal of the day from Burger King. I order a brownie with ice cream, Double Whopper with cheese, fries, and 6 chicken wings. I eat the brownie right there, cause otherwise it will melt before I get home. I take the other stuff home and start eating the wings and fries. Now I get to the Whopper and realise they only got me a Normal Whopper instead of a Double Whopper!

Do you think this will effect my current cutting diet and should I go to Mc Donalds and get a couple of cheeseburgers to make up for it ???
I don't want to risk going into starvation mode!

Not until now, my "before" can be seen in my profile's webpage.
But maybe I'll start, since I have now figured out how to do it on a diet where I can eat whatever I want every day. :)

Yep, plus a 100g whey shake during the day.
And if I feel like it, I have a pig-out day, usually once a week.





Ah, and I drink some carbs in the evening sometimes in the form of red wine.

wow, i never looked at that profile til now. Very impressive.

The great thing about now is since you are at so low bodyfat, you can start seriously tweaking your nutrition (carbs and fats) and literally watch how your body responds... I havent seen your legs, but if you have "tear drop"/quad seperation, your bout as low as you can comfortably be. Maintaining sub 7% bodyfat HURTS....  ;D

Might as well just get the patties only, about 3 or 4 of them because the only benefit you are gonna be getting from a BK meal is tons of saturated fat. Which if u are trying to gain muscle, its essential, and it always gives me much more energy. Ask any serious bodybuilder how much mass they put on with a low fat diet.

Especially if u are on a gram of test a week, u can have those whoppers 3 weeks out from a show  :D

I don't care about all this stuff, I just eat what I like!
During the week I always eat out. Chinese, Greek, Italian, Persian, Indian, Asian, Austrian, whatever I feel like.

as a natural bodybuilder, sure. gotta have fat. saturated fat is absolutely worthless when your on gear. the majority of bodybuilders youve seen on a pro stage since the beginning of competive bodybuilding have had year round low fat diets.  and test alone isnt gonna increase your metabolism dude.

oh,forget to  throw in the GH, slin, thyroid stim's...  ;D I was leaving that part out for sake of it

As far as year round low fat diets, i dont know any competitive bodybuilder that follows that? W h a t? Being on so much damn gear why not reap the benefits? You can AFFORD not to eat clean year round, thats why they eat anything they want. you cant honestly think todays pro's chow on celery sticks and chicken year round do you? Donuts, pizzas, burgers, its all fair game.

ok, now you include the thyroid , now you can eat what you wish.

1g test aint gonna do anythign like that.

well i meant thats how they lose fat. they go low fat and cycle carbs.  always.  of course guys dont eat clean year round, btu their base diets are low fat. for example, jay cutler eats a low fat diet of 350 g protein 1k carbs per day with minimal fat. HOWEVER what he doesnt include in that diet is the snacks and times he eats out and all the junk he will eat ON TOP of that base diet.
Title: Re: Problem of too small meal on a diet?
Post by: boonstack on October 27, 2008, 03:54:49 PM
yes.

i think when all their "base" needs have been met, then all else is good. The body doesnt like being 250+lbs at 4% bodyfat, i cant imagine what their metabolism is like compared to a natural person.

Why so?

I don't eat Burger King every day, of course. Some day it's sushi, some day it's steak, someday chicken, etc. I also see to it that veggies are part of the meal whenever possible and most of the time I have fruit for dessert.

Or do you mean because of just one meal a day?

no not at all, one meal a day may be pretty healthy from a hormone and neurophysiological perspective. Just having a whopper and a shake for your nutrition in a day is missing many key nutrients not to mention key prebiotics. No 03 fatty acids, total lack of some fat soluble vitamins etc..

if you eat chicken, some grain, veggies , fruit etc... disregard my statement, i was moreso referring to your fat and glucos laden meal you outlined.

No of course, I make sure that I get the basic nutrients in. Fruits, veggies, full grain / multi grain bread, fish, different kinds of meat, etc. I also gulp down some healthy oil in the morning, since I don't know everyday if the food will provide enough. Don't take any supps though (apart from the whey), as you can imagine. ;D

so when you have your one meal a day how many calories are you looking to consume?

And how do you know how many calories you are consuming when you have that one meal?
Title: Re: Problem of too small meal on a diet?
Post by: wavelength on November 02, 2008, 01:23:51 PM
so when you have your one meal a day how many calories are you looking to consume?

And how do you know how many calories you are consuming when you have that one meal?

It goes like this:

I'm aiming for an average of about 1750cals on weekdays and double that on my pig-out day (Sunday). Adds up to 14000cals a week or an avarage of 2000cals a day over the course of one week. Since my maintenance is about 2500cals, I lose 1lb a week. The 1750cals are 500cals for the 100g whey protein shake and 1250cals for the meal, so that's what I would be aiming for.

However, nowadays it all goes by experience, also because, as you mentioned, I just don't know the exact amount of calories I'm eating. If I notice that my rate of weight loss isn't correct, I just eat a little less or more the next week. It's not like it'll kill me if I lose 2lb one week and no pound the next.
