I guess its important also to include what you were training. I will go first. My goal was to make the 185 lbs weight division for wrestling and MMA meaning I would have to get down to 197-199 come the day before weigh in then use water manipulation techniques, stop food intake and do old weight cutting tricks like using the stationary bike in the sauna while in a track suit and wearing a garbage bag. Keep in mind with all the wrestling and sparring I would do an average of 3 hours of cardio 6 days a week, so low carb dieting was not an option for me. I started this diet weiging approx 235 lbs and got down to 198 in 10 weeks. I am a believer that the timing of complex carbs greatly affects whether they are used for energy or stored as fat.
Thank you all for your time and contributions
So here goes.
Meal 1- Half a box of Kashi honey almond cereal (small box 420 g, per half cup serving not inlcluding milk has 9 grams of fiber 9 grams of protien, 39 grams of carbs) with skim milk, one peice of fruit.
meal 2- the other half of the box of Kashi honey almond cereal with skim mil, 8 eggs, one yolk, one peace of fruit and a read or green pepper
meal 3- 75 gram whey protien shake, brocoli, carrots, and leafy greens,
meal 4- 2 cans of tuna and leafy greens
meal 5- large portion of ground beef or steak with half a banana if after training
meal 6- 8 eggs 1 yolk, 50 grams of whey protien
switch to a leaner protein source post training. if you are going to eat red meat, eat it before you train, or at the last meal before bed with no carbs- just greens.
what kind of fruit are you eating early in the day? don't spike your insulin levels too early in the day with hi GI carbs- stick to apples etc earlier in the day if you are eating fruit. the first meal post training (not immediately) you can take in some berries w/ an isolate shake.as they are a good antioxidant.
after you train, try to take in some BCAA's (like scivation extend- fucking great supplement) and not take in whole foods (including isolate) for an hour or hour and a half or so, the longer the better. let your body burn off the calories you took in earlier in the day and let your metabolism roll into burning off some extra fat as well.
thats a shit load of protein for your last meal. i like the eggs though. use omega 3's and eat 6 whole eggs- if you wake up hungry thru the nite, then have your shake (no milk). no sense inundating your body with so much protein at once.
get rid of the milk if you can. to do this you may have to dump the cereal as well- not a bad thing if you read my last point.
finally your calories are crazy high. all the carb timing in the world wont help you lose fat if your calories are too high. you have kept track of your protein intake etc, but to lose weight you have to know exactlly how many calories your taking in. no ball parking. exactly. you'd be surpriesed how many little extra caloires sneak in when you ball park it. those extra calories over the period of a week could cost you a pound of fat loss.
