What's your diet looking like?

[chrisotpherm]

Just wanted to get a discussion and maybe exchange ideas or even help folks see what they should be eating.

Breakfast: 8-10egg whites, 2 pieces whole grain bread, 1/2 oatmeal

Mid morning: 8-10 egg whites, 2 pieces white grain bread

Lunch: 1 whole baked chicken breast, 2 cups broccoli, 1c whole grain pasta

Mid day: 50-75g protein shake mixed in water.

Pre-workout 50-75g protein shake mixed in water

Dinner: mainly chicken breast right now as I'm cutting, 2 c whole grain pasta, 2c spinach with 2-3tblsp salad dressing of choice

Pre-bed. 50-75g protein shake mixed in water.

Again I'm cutting so not as much food as when bulking.

Shit bro calm down the protein shakes lol . 50grams Is plenty IMHO. I did the double scoops at 50mg and found even that was a waste of protein powder. Did 0 for my physique. Just made me buy it faster lol.

Breakfast - egg protein powder shake in water. 1 cup rolled oats, cinnamon and 1-2 strawberries or blueberries.

Snack- protein shake

Lunch. Chicken or beef and brown rice

Snack homemade granola ( nuts, oats, honey)

Meal - either dinner left overs or protein shake.

Dinner-- chicken, fish, filet with veggies. Quinoa or brown rice.

If its a lift day pre/ post shake.

Re: What's your diet looking like?

I'm going to switch probably to a CKD with a refeed on the weekends. Now, I don't necessarily advise athletes to eat like this but it works for me and I'm able to keep my strength up.

I recommend a cyclic diet for most people. Adjust proteins, carbs, and fats based on what you're doing that day (high, med, low).

I'm doing a carb cycling right now, when I stick to it I get great results.

Sun-wed is a low-mod carb day w a cheat meal on wed evening.
Thursday-fri is low-mod carb day.
Sat-carb up day.

Eating bout 100 grams carbs, 1600 cals, 200 grams of protein on low carb days.

Cardio-11 sessions/week
Lifting-3days/week
Core training-2 days/week

Training for a toughmudder in June so I'm running a lot and doing a lot of body weight exercises like planks, Burpees, and some Turkish getups.

I eat around 250-300 grams protein. 250-300grams carbs and 100 grams fat.
Someday I knock the carbs lower some days way high. Works well for me. I'm always bulking, I haven't needed to cut in a couple years. I maintain a decent cardio regime to keep bf around 12%. In essence I'm eating as much as I can.

I would say the protein shake scoops do work for me. Everyone is a phenom, what works for person A may not work for person B.

But the diets are spot on and they weigh 175 lbs and nowhere near in shape.of course you guys that posted I have no idea what you look like so I'm not referring to you.but I have always wondered how many people tell the truth about their diets?

You make a good point. For me, many different diets work very well, IF I stick to it. The problem for me is will power and dedication.
