Man I been on my little diet since Tuesday...I gotta find a way to bring my calorie intake back up to 2400-2500.
As of right now I've been right below 2000 eating clean (pretty much the exact diet as kasino/warren)...I weigh 175...but I want to cut some fat out without losing any muscle and possibly maintain 175 weight. Is that even possible?
I see your pre-made meals are usually chicken breast/sweet potatoes/veggie...how many times do you eat that actual meal per day though? I've been eating it 2 and 3 times a day since Tuesday but outside of the oatmeal I don't know what else to add in without going too high on my goal of 220g protein-140carbs-50g fat. Haven't found a good daily meal plan that keeps me right in that range every day.
The calculator says I need to intake 2,500 calories to maintain 176..I like my weight I just want to be more shredded.

My breakfast with the oatmeal and omelet is about 1,200 calories, my lunch (usually sweet potato, chick breast and veggies) is about 400, my dinner (sweet potato or brown rice/flank steak or fish/veggies) is about 500, right there you've hit 2,000. PLus my post workout shake, 250 cals. If im hungry throughout the day, I'll snack on some plain natural or roasted almonds, or even a slice a whole/multigrain bread with a slab of almond butter or peanut butter (usually around 10am when im at work starving). Make sure not to exceed 1/3 cup of almonds at a time though. Other than that, if you're short cals, just stick to almonds (good fats) or good carbs (extra oatmeal, extra sweet potato). But really, if you're trying to cut, you should be eating at a deficit. Even subtracting a few hundred cals from your daily maintenance will shred you up in no time. But again, you should focus on your lifts too if youre trying to get bigger, ripped. Increase reps to shred out, heavy weight and low reps to bulk.
hell nah!WATER, WATER, WATER. Your first step to failure is drinking calories, I'll tell you that right now. What you consume in a sugary beverage, could be substituted with something that will enhance your gains e.g. a protein shake or actual food. Its all about productivity, bad inputs=bad finished product.
how do you figure this :wot:
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
I usually do 10-15 mins of HIIT Cardio after workouts. Also I usually don't do Abs for a Couple of Reasons: 1. I never really cared about having shredded 6-pack abs. I primarily just care about having a FLAT Stomach. Do you think doing Abs exercises is crucial for a flat stomach, or diet alone should do that? 2. I usually don't get a chance to get to the Gym until 8:30 at nights. So by the time I get done with my workouts it's already 10:00 - 10:30 at night.
Also, I'm going to start using your Oatmeal Recipe, but I'm scared about the taste. LOL. It sounds like it tastes horrible. .
what else is there to drink? Only other thing I drink on occasion is Almond Milk (60 cals/cup). You do realize drinking calories is probably the worst thing you could do right?.its so easy to rack up 250 calories in one soda, gatorade etc. Congrats, you got nothing of substance from that drink. Whereas, you could've instead used the same dietary space of 250 calories to consume a full cup of extra lean ground beef, or an 8oz chicken breast, which would've given you 50grams of protein, not to mention fill your stomach & increase your metabolism to burn more fat. Instead, youre getting aspertame/sugar/empty carbs in that beverage that you consumed, which of course will subsequently make you hungrier and slow down your metabolic rate.so u only drink water and protein shakes whoadie?

Bruh your taking like 5 pills and a couple powders ( if my memory serves me correctly) every day? Thats crazy lol and i thought my meds every morning was a damn hassle. But more power to ya
Firstly, the oatmeal tastes great, if made correctly. But it is definitely preference though. My whey protein tastes amazing, you may be using a brand that doesnt 'jive' well with the ingredients. Honestly Im a bit biased, but at the end of the day, for me its all about gains. You have to ask yourself which is more important; flavour (temporary enjoyment), or an amazing body which comes along with tons of benefits (girls, increased confidence, increased motivation, increased energy/stamina, increased strength, overall quality of life improvement, not to mention girls (did I mention that already?) So really its up to you.
Ab exercises are crucial, you cannot neglect your core. A strong core is the basis of every exercise in the gym. If you arent incidentally working your core on almost every exercise you're doing, your form is probably incorrect. Try to throw in abs every other day for a total of 3x weekly, do 200 reps min. Theres no point in have muscles and no 6pack, abs are glamour muscles, who wants to take their shirt off and have a weak stomach. Not to mention core exercises increase your heart rate, subsequently boosting your metabolic rate and enhance the fat burning process. Throw in a couple reps inbetween your lifts and watch how much you'll be sweating.
There are some you can do away with. The Zinc and Vitamin C I take because its an anti-oxidant and extremely good for your skin. I havent gotten a pimple in years.. But again, everyone is different. The fish oil and multi are crucial. I take the Vitamin C to enhance the low level of vitamin c in the multi. And of course the EC stack is self explanatory.Bruh your taking like 5 pills and a couple powders ( if my memory serves me correctly) every day? Thats crazy lol and i thought my meds every morning was a damn hassle. But more power to ya

I feel ya, i would get back on my supps game but i made a pact with myself that i'd get to my target weight/build all natural. Thats weird tho my older brother takes the same stuff for his pimples and he gets at least twice as many as i do ( and i barely get any pimples being 4 years younger) Then again he also takes accutane and other shyt for his pimples to so that probably affects it
