Figure out what your TDEE is and start with a small caloric surplus of around 200-300 kcals/day and see how your weight progresses. I start my mornings with black, iced coffee.ġ. i rarely eat sugar in general but may have a coffee or two during the week with sugar. I usually eat "clean" but once or twice a week i'll have fried food or sugar. I do drink alcohol - mostly whiskey straight, or perhaps beer, 1-3 times a week and mostly on the weekends. i'm tempted to cut this form of cardio down, but this is one of my passions. i sleep 7-9 hours a night and play 30-60 minutes of table tennis (cardio) competitively 3-4 days a week. I'm very far from the heavy level of lifting (i'm only doing 70lb squats as of yesterday) but i want my stomach to be in a state to be able to handle sufficient quantities of nutrition to be able to gain 15-20 lbs of muscle in a year.įyi, not sure how accurate this is, but my fitbit says i burn around 3000-3200 calories a day. How does my diet look? am i eating too much of something? not enough? but i'm really not a big fan of corn, grains, rice. i think i'm getting the calories in via fat - and i know i'm eating a smaller ratio of carbs.Ĭarbs tend to bloat me and make my stomach feel uncomfortable. Organic buffalo chicken burger with bleu cheese, topped with tessamaes ranch dressingġ banana with cashew butter (4 tablespoons) Organic banana with organic peanut butter (4 tablespoons) i also try to stick to intermittent fasting (eat between 11am and 7pm) and i don't eat much bread.ĭuring my non-fasting period, i'll have a meal like such: I've been eating heavy since the start of the program. i've tried weights in the past but i haven't really done them for long and i usually give up for one reason or another. Just started SL 5x5 last week with the "beginner" or "intro" weight level. 6'1" 170lb (skinny) with a bit of a pooch (not really too concerned about this). Sorry if this needs to be in the nutrition forum? if so please move.
