  • Diet/Training tweaking question for my BMR

    Every once in a while I like to step back and totally revamp my way of thinking about my diet and give it an overhaul.. My BMR is 2793.. subtract 500 from it to equal 2293 calories to lose 1 lb of fat per week. (Wanting to lean out a little more) Looking for suggestions, diet/training tweaks that would help me. (Thanks bouncer, i used your diet for calculations :D)

    10am Meal 1: : 3 whole eggs, 1 scoop protein, 1 1/4 cup oatmeal 1 multivitamin
    Protein 50, Carb 70, Fat 14

    2pm Meal 2: : 1 1/2 cup brown rice, 7 oz chicken breast, Broccoli, 6 Fish Oil Caps
    Protein 50, Carb 65, Fat 6

    6pm Meal 3: 7 oz sweet potatoes, 7 oz chicken breast, 1Tblspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    Protein 50, Carbs 60, Fat 15

    10pm Meal 4: 1 scoop protein, 3 whole eggs
    Protein 42, Fat 14

    2am Meal 5: 1 scoop whey, 1 scoop casein, 2 Tblspoon natural PB
    Protein 50, Fat 15


    As far as training, any suggestions as to the timing of my training or when to do cardio and when to lift? My lifting will probably be something like:

    Session 1: Chest/Shoulders/Abs (Bench, Flyes, Lateral Raises, Crunches, Hanging Leg raises)

    Session 2: Back/Traps/Calves (Rows, Pulldowns, Shrugs, Calve raises)

    Session 3: Arms/Abs (Barbell curls, Hammer curls, Skull crushers, Rope pulldowns, Crunches, Hanging Leg raises)

    Session 4: Quads/Hamstrings/Glutes (Squats, Leg Curls, Leg Extensions)

    Much much appreciation in advance for any help.

      looks fine calorie wise if that is your BMR.

      fats are at good levels, proteins are fine, carbs are low but enough to keep your muscles fed.

        I've always been under the impression that your body goes somewhat catabolic after 3 hours. Fog, Bounce, etc. want to comment on this?
        If waiting 4 hours between meals is perfectly fine I might be switching. Would make life a lot easier.

          that is one of those rules that we all follow and what seems to be correct by experience etc..

          you would be better off with 3 hours then 4 IMO.


          i personally think he needs one more meal in there.

            From my own experiences i have noticed that going with 6 meals is more difficult for me.. since i have to eat smaller portions, i do not feel full and have a tendecy to overeat a bit

                I would say cardio before your first meal and lift between the 2PM and 6PM meals.

                        Wow - now you're helping guys with their diets? Hope that means you took my advice and changed careers - that and it's good to think maybe you've joined a gym again - maybe it will help with the insomnia....

                          I don't have a "career" - I just felt like being nice for once in my life and helped someone out. :)
