Re: My Job - Do I need to Weight Lift
I have a question about fruit. It seems that fruit is very high in carbs. Does this mean I shouldn't eat a lot of fruit?
Banana - 28 Pear - 25 Apple - 21 Orange - 15 Pineapple - 10 |

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks JammyDodga and Wolfram Coming out of high school (2 years ago) I could bench 300 and squat 700. I think I'm relatively strong but there is no hiding it, I'm also fat. I'm prob around 45% fat. [/ QUOTE ] Yw. It looks like you've got a lot of muscle hiding under there so you should probably go with 2500 calories. If you don't see results then decrease it. Fruit is fine and one of the good sources of carbs. Just don't go nuts with it and try to stick to 33%-33%-33%.

Re: My Job - Do I need to Weight Lift

Re: My Job - Do I need to Weight Lift
Yeah, but if you switch out some of the high carb stuff for cc you'll up your fat and protein ratio.
Here's a sort of general day for me: breakfast: oatmeal + milk, scoop of whey w/water mid-breakfast: piece of fruit or berries (they have those fresh at work which is very convenient) or plain yoghurt + natural muesli lunch: dead animal + dinner starch + rabbit food mid-day: yoghurt+muesli or a handful of nuts+fruit pre-workout: scoop of whey and sometimes some form of carbs post-workout: dead animal + dinner starch + rabbit food before bed: scoop of whey mixed with milk I modeled this after the SS faq and it usually works out to about 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat. I use olive oil for cooking and sometimes as dressing. If I get low on fat or just calories I add a banana, some ice and natty peanut butter to my protein shake w/milk (and lots of ice). Btw, I don't eat that much cottage cheese, but i often replace the yoghurt+muesli with Skyr which is a local dairy product. It's made from milk and some kind of germ that creates this kind of tart, smooth pudding which is actually very good and has about the same macronutrient properties as cottage cheese (22g protein in a 6oz container) but it's 0% fat. http://www.skyr.is/Products/Plain/ |
