Post a typical day of food from the diet which yeilded the best results for you?

[Mussolini]

  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

Holy lack of Carbs.
I used to be a no carb all protein guy, but ive found my body works better for EVERYTHING, weather that be losing fat or puttin on muscle, with carbs.
I feel better, look better, and have more energy. Im not talking crazy carbs, just maybe a 2:1 ration of Protein to carbvs. Something like that.

[Army of One]

The one where I eat 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass then the rest whatever and then subtract 500, 1000 calories from maintenance for 1-2 pounds fatloss or add cardio for 3-4 pounds.Seriously, why do people make things so needlessly complex?

You display conviction in your beliefs however perhaps deep down you know there is room for improvement. Many with this sort of rhetoric are scared to realise their potential under a well structured bodybuilding regiment. In other words you won't give this shit 100% because then you would be in every way comparable to the next man without excuse. You start to consume 5000+ cals and you can be damned sure you better be paying attention to amounts of sodium, fiber, fats and carbohydrates. Energy levels, constipation, well being, hypertension and the amount of fat - gall bladder all become a concern in a performance related diet. Don't confuse or entice the masses of getbig with this nonsense...

on some nights my late night snack(s) can total more than 500 grams of carbs. plus lots of fat.  most nights i try to keep the total carbs below 200 and fats minimal, but i cant always control myself.

What's with the macro counting, I thought a "calorie was just a calorie"...

[tbombz]

What's with the macro counting, I thought a "calorie was just a calorie"...

i dont count macros!

i eat breakfast lunch and dinner. plus some protein before bed.

at every meal i eat roughly 8-10 ounces of meat protein. with 4 meals total that equates to roughly 200 grams of protein daily from meat alone. along with the protein at each meal i eat vegetables.

so basically, all protein with zero carbs and fats. except for post workout carbs which i feel are pretty helpful.


i eat this way because im tyring to cut up but i know i cant control my appetite like i used to (well at least i dont want to  ) and it allows me to have late night binges.

Nutrition (bodybuilding) 101...if you drop carbs you raise fats.

Ahh.. gotcha. I kinda did the same thing when I didnt want to deprive myself of good foods, so I get a baseline with all my protein, and I keep it well below maintence, and kinda work my daily little spluges in, which Is my daily doughnut and the occaisonal Berry and cream danish. And I am still getting cut up. So yeah, it works.

[Coach is Back!]

One day you'll figure it out but obviously it's going to be later than sooner

Here a thought, you get ready for a show using your way (strictly calorie counting) and I'll do the same show using my way (macros) and we'll see who comes in leaner and sharper.

1 snickers bar and a can of soup, this will rip you up in no time.

[~UN_$ung~]

anything will rip you up.....as long as you drop your calories and maintain protein intake

your diet could consist of donuts and protein shakes, as as long as you at a caloric deficit.....your gonna get lean

[Swedish Viking]
