Hey everyone,

New around here and just starting at the gym again, been in the past but got lazy and unmotivated due to other things which I won't mention which ultimately lead me to being my current weight of 107kg at 174cm in height.

I'll post in the newcomers form with the rest of my details But anyway my diet consists of the following with my goals set below. Let me know what you guys think.

Goal - Fatloss First | Build Second

Breakfast - 1 cup of Rolled Oats w/water and a little protein powder ontop.

Mid-Morning - Protein Shake w/Banana

Lunch - Baked Beans with Scrambled eggs

Afternoon - Protein Shake w/Orange

Dinner - 1 Cup Brown Rice w/Silver-beet/Spinach/Brocoli/carrots/peas/corn and either Tuna|Chicken Breast

Before bed - Protein Shake w/Apple

Supplements

Myofusion Protein

BSN Cellmass (Had great success in the past with it)

Multivitamin/Mineral

What do you guys think?

You would probably be in a decent deficit with this diet but you should really workout your macros.

Doesn't sound like a lot of protein is it your diet also, I reckon 1g/lb body weight works well just IMO, others maybe argue otherwise.

You don't want to be in an extreme deficit which I think your will be with that diet, may un-motivate you to go to the gym or stick to the diet due to feeling like rubbish.

IMO cellmass is a waste of money but if you have the money to burn why not it tastes alright I guess!

Forgot to mention I'm doing a 5-day split. My usual routine is..

Day 1 - Chest/Biceps

Day 2 - Back/Triceps

Day 3 - Traps/Shoulders

Day 4 - Legs

Day 5 - Core

6 & 7 I usually do a mild amount of cardio at home with skipping.

I'm thinking about adding in another Protein shake during the day and also a monstrous sandwich with tuna/lettuce/capsicum/pepper/tomato/etc/etc/.

What would you suggest?

[dannyjay]

do a ketogenic/carb back load/carb nite diet for fastest fat loss imo

i've blitzed off 14kg in 3 months so far.

uhhhhh why? there is no need to jump straight to this method of dieting, also chances are VirtualWolf would not do this properly or even know where to begin. strength loss will disappear in a day or so and it is unnecessary unless used in the weeks leading up to competition.

novice keto = fail

Agree with Dan re: keto not being right vehicle based on your goal in the first instance. It sounds like you have been out of training consistantly for a bit (?) ... so keto diets/carb back load etc not as effective and can drop size.

IMO best option is drop your body fat to a normal athletic range with carbs in ... only use keto to shock n drop the body into lower bf% if thats what you want once you get to 12 - 14%.

modded your diet below using same foods;

Breakfast - scrambled eggs (2 yolks + 8 - 10 whites) use sml amount water not milk. + 1 apple

Mid-Morning - 1 cup of cooked Rolled Oats w/water and a full serve protein powder

Lunch - Large tin tuna 200g or chicken breast + 1 Cup cooked Brown Rice w/Silver-beet/Spinach/Brocoli/carrots/peas + 1 orange

Afternoon - 250g lite cottage cheese + one row rice crackers.(eat like chip n dip - just get plain or seaweed flv)

Dinner - 350g Chick/Tuna/Salmon/Beef w/Silver-beet/Spinach/Brocoli/peas

Before bed - 100g lite yogurt

And make sure you have a post training shake in water. (Aim for 3-4L water day)

Give it a break :roll:

Yeah seems weird given they could just be eating popcorn chicken and pinning grams of gear every week.

yeah man - more protein = more calories burnt. Even better would be to not stop eating. break daily intake in one continuous meal :grin:

Thanks for the advice, I'll start that next week.

So far I've lost 3kg, mostly fat. Nearly back to lifting what I was 6 months ago when I was going hard although my stamina isn't what it used to be!

Definately going to be a work in progress and I appreciate the replies guys.
