Cutting back on carbs has always leaned me up in the past (with roughly 1g protein per lb. and minimal fat). Approaching 40, though, I'm starting to lose lotsa muscle this way, too. Always train first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, weights one day, cardio the next; then daily cardio when I plateau.
Question: Do I up carbs throughout the day, the first few meals, or maybe up fats some?
Thing is, I'm not getting hungry or weak, but if I NEED more ... Diet looks like this:
1) Whey shake / oats (15-20g)
2) Chicken / brown rice (12-15g) / veg
3) Same as 1
4) Turkey / small yam / veg
5) Whey shake
6) Eggs or tuna / salad
Suggestions? Thanks.
