I like that diet. I would use ezekiel bread though. So you know the macronutrient breakdown or total calories for this?

No I don't, but the guy who wrote it was preaching 10x BW and he was 200lbs, so I figured it was close. In all honesty I'm noty going to do fitday, just not my cup of tea.

My plan is to do the shopping and stick to my guns via premade meals. I can use the money saved from not eating out for lunch everyday and eating like a complete assclown on the weekends.

Good luck w/that A L. The diet itself looks good and extremely solid.. but assuming it's strictly for cutting, at a glance the total cals might be kind of high. Just an assumption though.. I could be wrong
I enjoy fitday myself.. it's almost like a game to me...lol. I prefill days in and challenge myself to stay within the parameters that I wrote when I WASN'T HUNGRY ;) I'm a wrestler by trade though, so cutting is like a second job to me :)

[*Bunny*]

10 x bw? Hmm

for the way you train for cutting, seems a bit low. Try it out and see if you're starving then make adjustments.

Getr done

[TAZ]

Seems low in protein coming from real foods to me. Run the numbers though.

What do I change?

[getjacked]

thats a lot of food dude especially for your size. i know of like 4 people that diet on 5k and theyre all like 300+ @ 8-15% lol.

not sure what to change im def. not good with diets

[*Bunny*]

You can use MRP's or RTD's if you cannot make all this food and pack it. I know for your schedule it would be more convenient. You need to make time and/or be better prepared.

Check your email, I tweaked it. For you some of those combos will not really work for fat loss unless something have changed over the last 3 months Im not aware of??


Either way hit me back.

[*Bunny*]

See red

This is about 40/30/30 3182-3282 cals based on if you used 1 cup vs .5 cup oatmeal

Run this for one week, 7 full days without cheating and we'll re assess.

:rose:




First Meal
3 whole omega 3 eggs omelet, 1 piece of favorite type of cheese

1 cup tea (1 bag peppermint and 1 bag green)
1 glass water
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Snack

[bigdamray]

Nice work Bunz!!

[*Bunny*]

Even I am pushed for time right now with food and convenience. I admittedly have to live off of Myoplex when Im pushed for time with work, go go go go go.

Im the lightest Ive been in 4 months, works for me... zing.

[A L]

Bunny has always taken great care of me. I am a lucky guy. This is a great place to grow, cut, learn, etc, etc.

[*Bunny*]

Are you training AM or PM these days?

Confirm you are NOT a potato guy, Im sure that was you...

[JayC]

Oh, she's good!!!!! :) Very nice Bunny.

[A L]

Are you training AM or PM these days?

Mon/Wed/Fri - AM

The Plyo split I told you about yesterday or Muay Thai for 45min

Mon/Tue/Thur/Fri - PM

Lifting - heavy as I can

[JayC]

What do I change?

Ya, Bunny has you covered nicely. My 0.02 would be keep it simple at first. I've learned that quantity and quality are keys. So basically start with what you want your total cals to be per day then figure out your macro %'s next. Third step is plugging in your "allowed" foods to meet those requirements. That's where fitday just makes it a breeze bro.

[MR. BMJ]

On non-weight training days, you may want to adjust for a regular (or alternate) meal in the place of your pre/post-workout meals??? I always forget about these too sometimes until the day comes up...lol.

Just a heads up before it comes;)

BMJ
:bmj:

[Doggy]

I thought the same thing; I'm 245 and thats more food than my bulk days.
I'm cutting now and eating a strict 3200 calories per day. With test & tren.

You look like a big man so I could be way off; best of luck!

[dubdubs]

OMG, good luck. I may have to start cutting ASAP, so I feel your pain, lol.
No fats at din din.. keep them earlier in the day, I love avocado so I would feel your pain there too..

[jagerbombme]

don't eat fat with carbs, eat protien and fat or protien and carbs, no sugars, meaining no fruit or milk or sugar free shit cause it's got sugar alcohols which will cause insulin response.
