Guys, I’ve slowly watched my weight creap up from 230 to 248 over the past three months, and need to get it back to lean/manageable. I wasn’t eating poorly, in fact, the majority of the foods I was eating were almost identical to what’s listed below, though in significantly larger quantities.
I’m a 6’5 248 lb dude at 15% bodyfat, and am trying to cut down to 230, roughly 12% bodyfat for this cylce. I train daily using a combination of the German Body Comp program, and play basketball pickup games for my cardio. I usually workout 6-7 days a week. How does the following eating plan look?
Time Food Kcal
6:00-6:30 1/2 cup Oats 150
1 Cup CC 200
1 tbsp fish oil 20
370
9:00-9:30 1/2 cup Oats 150
1 scoop whey 120
1 tsbp fish oil 20
290
to the OP: could you possibly list the macro breakdown just to make sure you’re getting enough protein. Other than that things looks ok.
remember to keep an eye on the scale and tape measure (or however you assess progress) and adjust the cals up or down depending on how things go: UP if your strength drops too fast, DOWN if you aren’t losing weight (although that probably won’t be a problem given your cals and activity level)
As a bit of a clarification, the salad and shrimp is actually one meal (lunch). I would certainly hope some of this weight gain is muscle, but I’ve already got a 44’ chest and 46’shoulders, with a 36-37ish waist, and am looking to bring the waist down to around a 34.
Also, to the poster about dithcing the whey pre workout, I usually eat 2 hours before I train, so trying to make it through a workout without anything fresh in my system probably won’t work too well. Is there something else I should consider eating prior to my workout? (Usually around 8:30-9 pm)
