right ladies and gents im just in the middle of cutting off some un-wanted fat. diet has been scaled down accordingly, cardio has been added (alternating light/heavy cardio)

this is just a check over really, and any alterations please just say

here goes.....

breakfast
25g whey
4 eggs + 100g chicken in an omlette

throughout the day
600-700g chicken
40g whey (in skimmed milk solution to wash the chicken down!! )

P/W/O 100g whey

evening meal
varies, always low carb max 700cal
broccoli is there throu the day too, normal multi vits etc etc
.................................................. ...........
thats a training day, non training is roughly the same just without the PWO whey

cardio is light before breakfast, and also PWO.
and heavy on my day off (thurs)

just about to start clen again(2 week rotations)
and on 500mg/week test + 400mg/EQ to maintan mass

how does that sound?? on hte right lines?

sounds good Big Pete, that's a lot of chicken!
I'm doing similar at the moment - spent two weeks on less than 10g of carbs a day, lost 14lbs, switched to low carb last week (around 150-200g per day) put 10lbs back on - I've lost and inch off my waist in 3 weeks though.
I found I couldn't workout on the very low carb weeks, but had no problems at all sine re-introducing them. I'm still avoiding bread, potatoes, etc and getting all my carbs from fruit and veg (brocolli rules).

All I'd change in there mate is to add some simple carbs PWO - you don't have to count them in your daily totals - they just disappear like magic!

I've also found low intensity cardio works far better than all out (i try for about 40 mins low as opposed to 20 mins high). Keep us updated.

i thought about adding some carbs in there, but was hesitant cos im a **** for carb cravings, and appart from yesterday ive been very good!!!

how much do you reckon? 20-30g dextrose? or malto?

powerU · 12-07-2004, 12:26 PM

I have a serving of Reflex instant mass (50g protein, 50g carbs), and add about another 30g of glucose powder - don't blend it though just shake it, blended it's like drinking frothy glue.
Sounds like a contradiction - cutting and Instant Mass, but it's only like mixing your own with malto, and it's not as sweet.

Carb cravings - get some sugar free jelly, keeps me out of the biscuit tin!

**big pete** · 12-07-2004, 12:33 PM

lol, i got pickled onions and sugar-free jelly with protein powder mixed in it already!!!!

ok, will add some carbs there, but only slowly. 10g a session or less

powerU · 12-07-2004, 12:36 PM

ONIONS AND JELLY TOGETHER???? lol

**big pete** · 12-07-2004, 12:44 PM

thats a bit to extreme for me!!!

Pete you can eat berries with little problems they are really low in the glycemic index.

winger · 12-07-2004, 04:53 PM

Strawberries they say are zero. You can eat till your hearts content. They aren't zero carbs but the ratio of fiber to carb is awsome and they dont spike much at all. Makes you regular in the morning also............I had to throw that in.

**big pete** · 12-07-2004, 05:41 PM

lol, strawberries? with our climate? lol

but will look into the berries thing, apart from fibre, whats the benefit from them?

powerU · 12-07-2004, 05:49 PM

i can't stand the berries (frozen) - too many seeds in them, it's like sh1tting out a cheese grater the day after
