Help please...

[ashleyk]

Can I get some feedback on this plan? Pretty please :) . Right now I'm at 125, hips are....well too big we'll say. Time to leeeeaaaaan out. I've tried carb cycling and for whatever reason it just didnt work well for me. The high carb days tended to get out of hand. I've had good success with low cal, low carb diets. I wonder, is a biweekly "refeed" necessary, or just a weekly cheat meal? (The blue foods I didnt count)

13 x 125 = 1625 calories.

Training Day

Meal 1 -
6 whites
1 yolk
1.5 oz cheese
peppers, onion

Meal 2
3.5 oz chicken
1.5 oz cheese
lettuce, peppers, onion
1 Tbsp sour cream
salsa
3 fish oils

Meal 3
1 Shake
1 tbsp peanut butter
celery

Meal 4
3.5 oz chicken
.5 oz pecans
3 fish oil

Meal 5
Shake
5 rice cakes

Meal 6
3.5 oz chicken
1 cup rice

Total Cals = 1595 Protein = 147g Carbs = 103g Fat = 69g
Cals are a little under but I figure with the little extras I have like milk in my coffee those cals will be made up...

Off Day
Meal 1
6 egg whites
1 cup Kashi
.5 cup skim milk

Meal 2
3.5 oz chicken
.5 oz walnuts
asparagus
3 fish oils

Meal 3
Protein Shake
1 Tbsp peanut butter

Meal 4
3.5 oz chicken
1 oz pecans
Veggies

Meal 5
3.5 oz chicken
1 oz cheese
1 Tbsp ff sour cream
salsa
lettuce, peppers

Meal 6
1/2 Protein Shake
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1 Tbsp peanut butter
3 fish oils

Total Cals = 1550 Protein = 153g, Carbs = 77g, Fat = 73g

Does this look ok? Right now I'm doing a 4 day split (upper / lower) and minimal cardio. Maybe 1 HIIT and 1 ss per week.

What kind of tuna has 193 calories and 18g of protein? :scratch:

Its the clover leaf odd sized can. Pop top, lemon flavore...hmmm :scratch: How about I switch to chicken until I can double check. :lol:

Your getting more than just tuna in that case. Check the labvel to see what's in it. ;)

I did use the label to enter it into fitday. I think there were 9-11g of carbs in it. Cant remember. Either way its the only tuna I can stomach. :p

11g carbs in a can of tuna? :blink:

[ashleyk]

Ok, I took the tuna out and replaced it with chicken just for simplicity sake. Any other input?

[Limitless]

I wondered why the Kashi cereal (sugary carb) on the off day and no real carbs on the training day? Should that be reversed??

[ashleyk]

I have carbs PWO and PPWO on my training day. On my off day I have carbs for breakfast. Either 1/2 cup oatmeal or 1 cup Kashi. Macros are the same. I want a diet that I love so I'll go for the "sugary" kashi and see if I can lose on it. If not, I'll take it out.

[ashleyk]

Anyone? :oops:

[Leah]

Looks ok to me :shrug: I'd still do a higher carb day once in a while though

Awesome, thanks Leah. Do you think a cheat meal a week or a biweekly "refeed" of carbs. :confused:

My point was to check the ingredients; not just the nutritional info. :)

;) Gotcha.

I didn't actually go into FidDay and add it up -- but it looks like you've got more fat in that diet than your totals reveal (unless your cheese and sour cream are fat-free or low-fat varieties). Are you counting your fish oil caps in your fat totals?

Yup I counted the fish oils. My cheese is regular fat. I dunno...those are the numbers fitday gave me. :confused:
