Flexible Dieting

[animal1991]

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

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.

[calfzilla]

Or maybe intermittent fasting is good for you.

Next time put some GHB in their drinks

[dj181]

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

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

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

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

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.

yeah man, that's the ideal woman right there IMO

i'm a little bit bigger, but it's mostly in my legs, since i actually started training them

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.

[animal1991]

My current diet is pretty much this:

4 Egg Whites
2 Whole Eggs
60g Oats

PWO
2 Servings Whey Protein

4 Egg Whites
2 Whole Eggs
60g Oats

1 Can Tuna
1 Apple

1 Can Tuna

6 Whole Eggs

±2000 kCal

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