I'm freaking out at the moment because of dieting.
I have a very busy schedule at the moment with classes and I find it difficult to stick to a rigid diet.
I find my self eating well for a few days, and then my schedule changes and I'm unprepared and don't have to right food with me.
I'm obsessed about getting in enough protein, but on the positive side since I've been eat >200g protein daily my muscle have been a lot fuller and I feel a lot better physically and mentally, but I've yet to get leaner.
I'm on about 2200 kcal at the moment and as I say I can follow this great with good energy for 3/4 days and then my schedule gets hectic and I can't get around meals.
I need something that is more flexible because I'm all OCD at the moment and obsessed with hitting my protein, carbs, fat macros and calories and then I slip up, which puts me back.
The big thing that fucks me around is my university classes because one day they finish early, the next day I'm busy the whole day. If I'm lucky I go to the gym 3x a week.
I'm struggling to keep up with my diet, studies and gym and I want to attain my goals and it feels like I'm just getting further away from them.
Any help? Or maybe some of you have similar experiences? What has worked for you?
-
After you've calculated the amounts, do your shoppings for a whole week.
Cook/prep your meals for every 2-3 days.
Make sure you don't ran out of food, so always bring 3-4 meals with you.
In short, it's all about planning and discipline.
-
then dont diet, why diet
-
Because he wants shredded hammies & glutes, Tito

Diet is important but nothing to stress over. Don't worry about all the macros. Instead I would suggest just choosing an easy diet such as the Adonis Principles or a ketogenic diet.
Adonis: eat what you want just portion control and caloric restriction. And aim for RDA OF nutrients.
Ketogenic: aka Atkins diet. Just eat protein, fat and green veggies. Keep net carbs under 30 grams per day.
-
Or maybe intermittent fasting is good for you.

coz i'm a slave to what women want
she says "Jump!" and i say "How high?"

Next time put some GHB in their drinks

and to answer the thread starters question, just be sure and to stay in a calorie defiect throughout the week
it's all a matter of calories in vs. calories out, it really is ma man
Lyle McDonald has alot of good thoughts/ideas about "dieting" so check his stuff out

or maybe i could have my french bud bring his knife or my norway friend could bring his viking axe, just don't ask about my irish friend :D :D :D

I think it's about controlling her mind. If you don't do that from the beginning, she will control your mind and you will end like a married man with kids and a complaining pig in your house.
-
Work out how many calories you should be eating a day, to be in a good enough deficit.
Make sure you eat no more than your daily amount of carbs (obviously not from sugar)
Fuck the rest.
As long as you eat high protein, and limit your carbs, and total calories you will cut fat. When this stalls a bit either add cardio or lower carbs.
It's hardly rocket science, and certainly shouldn't be making you have OCD.

that could be man, but who the fuck wants to put in that my work? i sure as hell don't
and on a side note, i could never really understand these "pick-up" artists
to be a pick-up artist you basically need to be a phony asshole, and that takes a hell of alot of work, this french dude and the norway guy are both "pick-up" artists and they fail about 90% of the time, and the women that they do finally pick up are really nothing to write home about :-X :-X :-X
on a side note, this french dude hooked up a meeting wth 2 dutch girls for us, and the funny thing is one of them had a really pretty face, but not such a nice bod, and the other had a pretty kick-ass bod, slim with a firm round and athletic bubbleass, but her face was... but they were both pretty cool chicks actually 8)

I've learned that it's important to be true to your values, whatever they are. This might be an open door, but how many men and women play those stupid seducing games? For this reason I've never been a pick-up artist (I like that word, LOL). I don't believe a pick-up artist necessary needs to be an asshole, as long as he's honest about his (or her) intentions.
How did that Dutch girl meet ended, some drinks & LOLs and nothing more, or more...(and which one)?
I've lost my interest in Dutch women more and more, most of them act/look too manly or have whale hips.

yeah man, just drinks and nothing more ;D
we went to a rock pub first, and they we went to an artsy-fartsy club (you know, the ones that have very few actual artists, but mostly have "wanna-be" artists) and we just had lots of chit-chat
IMO many dutch girls have really beautiful faces, but they are just too big boned for my taste, as i prefer slim and small-framed petite girls
you were in israel right? what did you think of them israeli girls? the thing about jewish girls is that they are usually very deep, soulful, and intelligent, and those are very attractive traits IMO

Just what I expected, in most cases, Dutch women only go wild at home and/or with some booze (adding GHB is a different story...). They have healthy looking faces but also a bit cold appearance, which is typical for Northern Europe. And yes, many have wide hips & jaws, must be the milk & cheese.
Yes, I was in Israel (Jerusalem & Tiberias) and I agree with those qualities. Too bad most of them only date/fuck with Jews. Recently I was in Spain and saw goddesses everywhere. One day I saw a chick like her (see below) in the same pants. I slowed my walking speeds because I was hypnotized...

To be honest, that doesn't matter. I would have Frosted flakes as my breakfast carb and with the meal before a workout and have never seen much of a difference.

Exactly what is the issue? You don't have to eat 200 grams of protein per day, be overly cautious in "timing your amino acid intake" (an exception could be if you train in a fasted/"semi-fasted" state) or eat several times per day - all this is just bullshit.

Yes I know this. Meal frequency etc doesn't matter.
What's the take on protein intake?
I read a study where people consumed only 800 calories per day for 12 weeks, only they only ate 80g of protein per day. The did weight training 3x a week and they maintained their muscle.
So is protein intake not that relavant?

That was prob a controlled study where all participants had nothing else to do than eating, training & sleeping. With a job, family, bitches, etc you need way more cals to maintain what you have.

Yes I would definitely agree with you. 800 cals is like nothing.

"OBJECTIVE: Utilization of very-low-calorie diets (VLCD) for weight loss results in loss of lean body weight (LBW) and a decrease in resting metabolic rate (RMR). The addition of aerobic exercise does not prevent this. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of intensive, high volume resistance training combined with a VLCD on these parameters.
METHODS: Twenty subjects (17 women, three men), mean age 38 years, were randomly assigned to either standard treatment control plus diet (C+D), n = 10, or resistance exercise plus diet (R+D), n = 10. Both groups consumed 800 kcal/day liquid formula diets for 12 weeks. The C+D group exercised 1 hour four times/week by walking, biking or stair climbing. The R+D group performed resistance training 3 days/week at 10 stations increasing from two sets of 8 to 15 repetitions to four sets of 8 to 15 repetitions by 12 weeks. Groups were similar at baseline with respect to weight, body composition, aerobic capacity, and resting metabolic rate.
RESULTS: Maximum oxygen consumption (Max VO2) increased significantly (p<0.05) but equally in both groups. Body weight decreased significantly more (p<0.01) in C+D than R+D. The C+D group lost a significant (p<0.05) amount of LBW (51 to 47 kg). No decrease in LBW was observed in R+D. In addition, R+D had an increase (p<0.05) in RMR O2 ml/kg/min (2.6 to 3.1). The 24 hour RMR decreased (p<0.05) in the C+D group.
CONCLUSION: The addition of an intensive, high volume resistance training program resulted in preservation of LBW and RMR during weight loss with a VLCD." - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10204826
70-120 grams of protein per day is most likely enough to "maximize your gains", even if you're on a modest cycle. Aim for the higher value if you're a big boy (I have some references but please don't make me post them as they require some tedious explanation).
Protein is good for satiety though.
-

I've been doing it for a long time and highly recommend it.
It's a bitch in the beginning though. Stimulants help a lot.

Yes, exactly this one. And I've learned in physiology class today muscle is ALWAYS the last thing to go in caloric restriction. Your body eats muscle only as a last resort after it has gotten energy from body fats.
I don't know why people preach muscle loss on a calorie restricted diet?

A few comments,
3 men is nothing (statistically irrelevant), only 17 females also, BTW
How muscular were those subjects? (oh wait, most of them were women)
How intense were those weight training, excuse me, "resistance training" sessions?
Even a modest cycle will prob boost your protein synthesis, but ok, that's just a wild guess
-

Clever marketing from supp-companies and some sort of psychological aspect - bros are afraid of losing muscle.
As long as you're doing resistance training you shouldn't be too afraid of losing muscle while dieting.
If you haven't done it already - read up on AMPK and mTor signaling.

I just posted the abstract that were mentioned earlier in the thread, nothing else.
Maybe you'll find this one more interesting. Not ladies this time but the participants still do "resistance training", just like the girlies.
"Comparison of protein intakes on strength, body composition and hormonal changes were examined in 23 experienced collegiate strength/power athletes participating in a 12-week resistance training program. Subjects were stratified into three groups depending upon their daily consumption of protein; below recommended levels (BL; 1.0 - 1.4 g.kg-1.day-1; n = 8), recommended levels (RL; 1.6 - 1.8 g.kg-1.day-1; n = 7) and above recommended levels (AL; > 2.0 g.kg-1.day-1; n = 8). Subjects were assessed for strength [one-repetition maximum (1-RM) bench press and squat] and body composition. Resting blood samples were analyzed for total testosterone, cortisol, growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor. No differences were seen in energy intake (3,171 +/- 577 kcal) between the groups, and the energy intake for all groups were also below the recommended levels for strength/power athletes. No significant changes were seen in body mass, lean body mass or fat mass in any group. Significant improvements in 1-RM bench press and 1-RM squat were seen in all three groups, however no differences between the groups were observed. Subjects in AL experienced a 22% and 42% greater change in Delta 1-RM squat and Delta 1-RM bench press than subjects in RL, however these differences were not significant. No significant changes were seen in any of the resting hormonal concentrations. The results of this study do not provide support for protein intakes greater than recommended levels in collegiate strength/power athletes for body composition improvements, or alterations in resting hormonal concentrations." - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18500968

That's easy to do away from home,if you get sick of the tuna throw soy sauce in it,also make sure its the blue can( solid white in water). You can boil a few eggs and throw them in your cooler for snacks. Eggs and fish should keep you lean and make sure you hit each muscle group once a week. You can do it in 3, 4 days would be better. Days you can't make it to the gym, ride a bike or run 30min before class. Drink a ton of water all day and only black coffee if you need stimulants

Thanks.
Its pretty low calories (I'm 6'1, 240#, 15-16% BF), but I want a bit of a faster rate of fat loss and I have a slowish metabolism. I have not tested it yet but I'm sure I can maintain my weight on <3000 cals a day.

What about weight training routine?
I'm thinking about the following one? (Looking for a change from typical BB splits):
Day One – Pull
Deadlifts – 5x5
Rows (barbell, dumbbell, machine or t-bar) – 5x5
Pull/Chin Ups - 5x5
Barbell/Dumbbell curls – 5 sets x 5 reps
Day Two - Push
Flat, incline or decline barbell, dumbbell, of
machine bench press – 5x5
Military, dumbbell or machine press – 5x5
Dips or close-grip bench press – 5x5
Day Three - Legs
Back or front squats – 5x5
Hack Squat – 4x10-15
Standing or seated calf raises – 3x10-15
I'm training for strenght and fat loss at the moment and thinking of including sprinting/gpp on off days.

A push-pull split is what I'm doing since a few weeks (again), and I love it!
I choose for higher reps/lower volume, but there's nothing wrong with low reps/high volume if your joints can handle the heavier loads.

Do you have personal experience with this ?
I've been reading about the concept a bit lately and find it interesting.
No becuse with my current schedule it would be very difficult. But it seems interesting and I want to try it when my schedule normalizes.
-
Don't know what the problem is junior.... If you can't lose weight while being busy than no way i see you being able to do it with all the time in the world. And wha'ts wrong with hitting the gym 3 times a week?

Yes, I guess the real problem I have is time management. Just got to get that sorted then I'm good to go!
-

Just curious but what kind of schedule are you running that doesn't suit an intermittent fasting eating pattern?
IF makes things a lot easier for me and I usually work 24-hour shifts. I get up at 05.30 AM and eat my first (and sometimes only) meal at 5 PM on workdays. I only bring one meal to my job, which is very comfortable.
-
I work a couple overnight shifts a week. That's really what s Rees things up the most. Otherwise I could manage.

I see. Night shifts can really mess up your appetite. I had big problems when I first started IF and worked during the night, my appetite was ravaging after I got home in the morning.
