Im gonna try a med carb version of the Eat right 4 your type diet.

Your basic 45/30/25 maintainaince diet. I posted it here awhile back and Ive stuck to it and satisfied with my results thus far. Eating about 150 calories above maintaince.

[Nekrawulf]

[Gongshow]

diet? what?

[saturn]

I'm on the American diet...I just drink a diet coke with everything I eat to cancel out the calories.

Now I have to get back to eating these little chocolate donuts.

well im trying to get back on the MAX-OT diet which is a 55/30/15 split or around those numbers.

right now it looks more like 50/25/25

im happy with it

High protein, low carb..

I start out by eating at every meal at least 50g each of carbs/protein, and I use olive oil, flax, and CLA as my only fat source.. Right now, my carbs are down to about 80-90g a day, protein is up around 300g, and fats are steady around 20g daily..

Dropping the carbs slowly over time makes it easier to cut without cardio, and wwe all know how I just HATE cardio!

what about post workout pete? You dont rush carbs to your muscles?

My carbs are based around my pre/post workout meals, so pretty much I eat protein all day until an hour before I lift, and 45min. after..

more power to you man...id die lol!

[bigpetefox]

True, which is why my fats are so high..

Cuts down my carb cravings, bigtime.. Alittle Ephedrine with my fatburner never hurts, unless you're an out of shape baseball player..

[Nekrawulf]

mabey i should try ephedra to help with the carb craving... mine get intense

On thing ive found for nighttime cravings if a glass of milk with some wey thrown in and flax seen oil.... that seems to help my bedtime cravings

[bigpetefox]

Milk is on my "can't have" list...

I just add more fats, having 4 tablespoons each of olive, and flax with 5g CLA helps out alot..

what do you mean your do not have list?

How did you come about creating your list?

[prolangtum]

I eat around 350-380g of protien, 100-150g of carbs, and 85-120g of fat. It works out to around 45% protein, 20% carbs, and 35% fat

My first year of competing, I ate nearly nothing.. The guy helping me out wasn't clear on what I should/should not eat.. I was draggin' ass on 1900 cals a day!! My heaviest was 165, highest placing was 6th in a natural show.. Last year, after a severe case of bulking, I figured out what worked and what didn't.. I did mini-cutting diets, just to figure out what I was doing wrong last time.. My "can't have" list is as follows:

Milk- The carbs bloat me, regardless of fat content.

Sweets- Obviously, you won't get ripped eating Krispy Kreme..

Enriched Foods- Too much starch, insulin field day with white rice, white potato, any processed foods..

Fried/breaded foods- Soaked in grease, not until off-season..

Pizza- In moderation, not a bad choice, but I really try to hold off until after prejudging..

Soft drinks- Adds sugar to the diet, not needed.. If I want sugar, I eat 3 cups pineapple chunks..

My "can have" list is simple:
Lean beef, chicken breast, turkey(cold cuts or ground), tuna, celery, lettuce, brocholli, sweet potato, yam, pineapple..
