Gainer getting his glory days back

[hardestgainer]

imo the most important meal of the day is Post workout meal. Way more important than breakfast. But if breakfast could be done, especially HIGH fat, would always be very beneficial for fat burn throughout the day.

Jim has a sick physique, and it looks real good with the tatts!
What were you're last 2 meals like? About how many grams of protein did you consume throughout the day? (a rough estimate).

after the post jym I had 2 scoops of MP Combat protein powder with milk then later I had about a 10oz steak with veggies. I thought about having one more last meal, like just some cottage cheese but skipped it and just went to bed because today was one of the early school days

Those last two meals alone was about 120g protein, so throughout the day I had just a little under 200g of protein with me @ 165lbs

You just need to play with your diet and figure out how to get your fat stores mobilized and being burned.
I know everyone wants to get leaner bigger and stronger but maybe let strength and size go for a bit and work on cutting then work on gaining mass and strength after your leaned out.

Thanks, thats whats been my major goal and what Ive mainly trying to focus on. At least Ive learned a couple things that no longer work for me, I used to be able to eat carbs any time of day and cut weight, I put on a couple pounds real quick this last time I started eating even just brown rice/whole wheat bread and pasta.

I will say today is probably the best Ive felt all semester when it comes to energy and mental clarity in my early morning classes, didnt even have my usual coffee or anything.

Well if you want to toss some diet ideas around I'm sure you'll get a few different approaches to your goals.

CBL is what Ive been planning on doing, so for right now Im in the "prep" period everyone seems to suggest even though I already know my body has learned how to produce ketones so its probably not needed.

Im going to try and update it this every day or so with my diet so if anyone wanted to, they could check it once and easily see the last two weeks of my diet

[Scope75]

Well I'll check it you once you start it up and do the prep and the full 10 days too. No point in starting a new diet off by cutting a corner.
What's your ULC/prep days look like?

Ya I figured Id just do the prep either way so thats what Ive been doing, started it a couple days ago.

Today I had
salad- 1 heart of romaine, 4oz steak, 4oz grilled shrimp, and half an avacado
1 grilled chicken breast
12oz ny streak with asparagus
1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese


That puts me at only 27g carbs for the day with 12g fiber and right at 1g protein per lb


Sorry but I dont know what ULC stands for

Solid layout for the day. I would keep the protein a bit higher though. At least around 200 or a bit more (not too much more imo).

ULC = Ultra Low Carb. As less carbs as possible!!!
Very good pointers made by sensei Scope! Check out Scope's ideas, you'll learn a lot from that dude (just don't get carried away by the food porn).

I'll also be checking your eating routine HG!

Now when you say your going to do CBL does that mean Kiefers protocols or just backloading your carbs?

If its Kiefers CBL then.....
Raise the fats and drop some protein.
During the prep and the first part of your day on CBL you should be higher fat than protein.
Also when you have a chicken breast you need to pair it with some fat.

If your just backloading your carbs scratch what I said and do your own thing.

Thanks for the feedback, I thought my fat was pretty high for the most part except the one meal that was just chicken. but it won't be too difficult to raise it some more

Last night I went a checked out the last 100 pages of Scopes log to help get ideas. The donuts with bacon and chocolate was probably my favorite haha
