Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 0 | This is my first journal. I started a few years back at 6' 250lbs. with an obscene BF%. After a long 10 months I had dropped to around 180 and completely transformed. The one thing I did notice at that point is hopw little muscle mass I actually had. Unfortunately I ran into some things and I stopped working out and dieting properly for a long time. With this I basically returned to the 250lb high BF% that I was originally. In other words I wasted 10 months of hard work. In January I realized what I had become and slowly worked my way back into a regimen of excercise and proper diet. I have since gotten down to 227lbs, I am not sure of my BF% nor am I sure of what it was when I started other then high. I wanted to start this journal for some accountability and maybe even a little support. The following is my current 4-day split: Monday Chest\Biceps Tuesday Quads\Calves\Abs Wednesday Off Thursday Hamstrings\Back Friday Shoulders\Triceps The basic diet I will follow is: Workout days: Pre-Workout Meal Oats 2/3-cup 40 G Dextrose On-Whey Protien 1-scoop Totals Meal 1 Egg Beater omelet (1 Cup) 1-Slice Cheese (Non-Fat) Whole Wheat Bread (2 slices) Skim Milk (1/2 cup) Oil for Cooking 1tbsp Meal 2 Tuna (3 oz) Oats 2/3-cup Peanuts (1/8 Cup) Meal 3 Turkey sandwich on Wheat OR Salad with Chicken and Rice Meal 4 Whole Wheat Bread (2 slices) Nat. Peanut Butter 2 tblps Banana Meal 5 Oatmeal 2/3-cup unckd On-Whey Protien 2-scoop Meal 6 4 oz. Salmon Brown Rice (1 Cup) Asparagus NON-Workout Days will be the same except no Pre-Workout Meal. |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 32 | Wassup Jason ... Welcome to IronMASS man... looks lyke you gotta solid plan.. but if you gonna lose weight.. you can drop some of the excess calories by losing the carbs pre-workout... thus just use whey protein pre-workout without the dextrose & the oats... In fact.. giving it a closer look.. it would be perfect if you could eat your fyrst meal... (minus the wheat bread) ... pre-workout... and then use the protein shake as your post-workout meal.. If you do it that way, you could include the oats & dextrose in your protein shake.. Some people will say you don't need oats and dextrose... honestly, I've used dextrose.. and I've used oats.. and I've used both at the same tyme... Other than taste, I personally didn't notice any difference when I stopped using the dextrose... if u're trying to get the protein/carb ratio in your post workout meal to be 1:2 ... then I thynk it's gonna be closer to 3/4 - 1 cup of dry oats.. per scoop of protein powder... Then after your weight lifting routine and then the cardio.. drink your protein shake... and follow that with your 3 oz of tuna with 2 slices of wheat bread... maybe throw in some veggies instead of the oats.. if you're going to lose weight, you don't need the extra carbs here... (*** I can't believe I said - Throw in some veggies!! ***) For the final meal after that... I like the chicken salad.. but u don't need the rice with it.. that's just bonus carbs... I don't see anythyng wrong with the peanut butter sandwich as a snack... but you don't need another protein shake after that... I'd suggest eating dinner.. the Salmon & brown rice... maybe even drop down to 3/4 cup instead of a whole cup... And then before you go to bed, snack on some cottage cheese or straight peanut butter, no bread.. you can wash it down with 12 oz of milk... What I've just done is knock out a few of the unnecessary calories and carbs from your diet that'll help you lose weight (body fat) mostly.. whyle keeping protein levels up that'll help you gain muscle mass... All in all, it'll help you reach your goals quickly... Good luck man.. & welcome again to IronMASS... Peace..~G

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 0 | GameDay, thanks for all of your input and the time you spent reviewing my diet. I will cetainly keep all of your suggestions in mind. I have learned that my body responds very well to a 40/40/20 split, and with the diet I listed that is almost an exact 40/40/20 ratio at around 2800-2900 calories. The one thing I was uncertain about was the dextrose. However the reason i elected to use it, was due to the fact that I wake at 5-5:15 a.m. and begin my workout at around 5:30. Given the fact that I havent eaten anything since around 8 p.m. the night before, I wanted to provide my body with a quick shot of energy and I dont think the oats will work fast enough to provide that for my workout.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 0 | I choose Wednesday as my weights\measurements day. I havent been good about keeping up with this so tracking my progress has been sketchy at best. I do know what I weighed last week (227) but have not taken any measurements or pictures. Today I gathered measurements, caliper readings, and weight. i will be doing this each Wednesday morning so that I can follow and chart progress. Weight: 224 BF% (3-point caliper readings) 18.8% (average of 3 seperate readings) |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 32 | If you can eat 3 hard-boiled eggs and 10 oz of milk.. it'll be all you need for a quality workout... Your body has protein, carbs & fats... when you wake up (after a long nyghts sleep) ... your body is carb depleted... when you workout, your body will use fat for energy... when you finish working out, your body will stop using fat for fuel and use protein (your muscle mass) ... unless you give it some carbs right away.. So after your workout, when you drink a protein shake with carbs, your body will use carbs (dextrose & oats) for energy instead of protein or fats... that's why it's good to eat carbs then... The 40/40/20 thing is just a suggestion.. it doesn't have to be exact ... and if you thynk u're gonna see results at 2800 cals a day.. imagine the results when u follow my suggestions and run around 2300 cals a day.. But hey... It's just advice.. so, I'll shaddup now .. hehehe.. I'll styll check in on ya either way... good luck to ya.. Peace..~G
