[tiny pinder]

hi guys ive been reading on this forum for some time but this is first post.
im a professional heavyweight boxer
im 6-1 and currently 105kg (off season 115 with more bf%,
would like to weigh at the least 105 which is a struggle to keep at moment but prefer 108-110kg
www.markdemori.com to learn more
im 23, love weight training, qualified personal trainer,big interest in nutrition and strength and size info.
i am having a hard time keeping my size while doing so much cardio.
i found it easier last year for some reason i dont know why.

i train 6 days a week 2 times a day, 4 of those sessions are weights, i stick to mainly free weight compound exercises.
my diet is eat as much as i want but i eat very healthy, one jun k meal a week usually pizza
this is average day for me
breakfast-1 1/2 cups porridge(before cooked) with skim milk
protein shake with milk


mid morn- 4 pieces brown bread toast with butter
protein shake
lunch-2 chicken breasts grilled with 1 1/2 cups veges or sushi
mid arvo- 5oo ml yoghurt with lsa mix and apple
dinner- 3 chicken breasts 2 cups veges
before bed-protein shake and yogurt or more chicken and veges

i am hungry all the time and always eat till im full
i sleep for at least 8 hours a night

my answer would be to eat more and cut down cardio wherever possible, i am taking creatine as well.

anybody else have any ideas or tips to eating more calories.

note- i am being paid to train i am not working so i have no limitations on eating

Healthy fats are very important and I don't see much in the way of fats. Fats have more than 2x the cals/gm of protein and carbs so it's easy to add cals using fat. Fish has good fat, especially salmon (I don't know about barramundi!). Also just look into flax seed and/or omega fatty acid supplements.
Also, if you're concerned about maintaining weight, make sure you have some high GI carbs post-cardio to halt any catabolic processes and get back into an anabolic state.

yes i think looking at my diet some unsaturated fats would be good, and i am always very good with my postworkout nutrition and weight training but come to think of it not so good after cardio sessions, well there is 2 things i can improve on thanks.

Just try to keep your fatty sources away from your high carb meals. That slows digestion and promotes fat gains and possibly messes with your "regularity".

For the amount of time that you are training, it looks like you are under eating tremendously. For instance, it looks like you need 250g of carbs just to make up for your training, let alone your maintanance carbs.

What these guys said. It doesn't look like you eating enough to me to maintain size. You are working out 6 days a week and twice a day so you would want to take in as many calories as possible to maintain size. I would add a couple more meals in there. I'm not a boxer either so I don't know how this would effect your boxing. Good luck and welcome to the board.

[tiny pinder]

phatchopper, beleive it or not he didnt go down, he did go to hospital so at least hes human! yes thats leapai

[tiny pinder]

also besides post workout, what are some good ways to eat more carbs , cause i an get really sick of eating pasta,rice,veges. any other foods or quicker ways to eat them.

PWO, stick to low fiber fruit or even a malto/dextrose combo in your PWO shake. Maybe you could eat grapes and a banana. Don't forget about oats, sweet potatos, Red potatos, whole grain wraps, 100% whole wheat bread, apples and grapefruit.
