10:00
30 mins cardio

11:00
3 eggs
50g cheese

13:00
2 tins tuna w/ full fat mayo
Salad

16:00
1/2 of MRP shake

19:00
1/2 of MRP shake

21:15
2 pork loin steaks
Broccoli

23:30
300-400g beef


Need to be more organized now. Will prep meals tonight so I have less to do tomorrow. Won't be hard. All I'll need tomorrow is to make a large MRP shake (split into two meals), a tuna salad and 30g whey protein in a shaker. I'll be out all day, so will take my food and gym stuff in a bag with me so that I can go straight to the gym afterwards.

Will prep everything at night from now on.

Doing 5 days no carb, 1-2 days high carb now.

Will keep carbs very clean next carb-up. The last couple have just been experimentation, but I've gone way overboard, so will be very sensible from now on. Will spread the carbs throughout the day rather than just cramming them in.

I think I'll just go with the one high carb day, which will look something like this:

Breakfast
100g oats
honey
Semi skimmed milk 150g carbs

Meal 2
4 granary baps; two with peanut butter and jam, 2 with tuna/ chicken and mayo 150g carbs

Meal 3
Same as meal 2 150g carbs

Meal 4
One massive sweet potato
Chilli beef mince
Sweetcorn 200g carbs

Meal 5
Homemade pancakes with lemon juice and sugar 200g carbs

Meal 6
Same as meal one 150g carbs

Should work out at around 1000g carbs. One day will be plenty. I'll stop eating the carbs and revert back to high fat the minute I start to smooth out.

Hey Fi

It's on hiatus atm. I'm just experimenting with a few things

How's your cut going?

OK I haven't been taking things seriously the past couple of weeks. I'd read so many good things about the anabolic diet and thought I'd make amazing progress with it. However, I disagreed with many of its principles and am now back to my original cutting plan, no gimmicks, just hard work!

Still using a high fat diet (obv) but I'll be having 30g carbs for brekkie and 30g PWO. This will usually be in the form of 50g oats and 30g dextrose respectively. These will be the only times I will directly eat carbs. Weights will be lifted 3 times a week, training mainly to increase strength throughout cut. Cardio will be at least 4 times a week for 40 mins, but I will likely get my cardio and weights in whenever I can, so there will be no set days. IE if I have three consecutive days off work, I will do cardio and weights on those three days, just in case I don't get the chance later in the week.

The cut will last 10-12 weeks. No more bullshh1t! Just gonna crack on!

Plan for Saturday

Felt very depleted at work today, so need to raise carbs a little bit. I haven't trained in a few days, but I need to find the right level of carbs for my off days. Added another 75g oats to my 3rd meal. Tomorrow I'll have 75g for brekkie instead and keep all other aspects of the diet the same.

Felt ridiculously low on glucose; brain definitely wasn't functioning properly. Am going to increase carbs tomorrow at breakfast and hopefully I'll be OK. There is no need to deplete myself too badly at this stage.

00:00
250g mince 500cal

Total = 2530cal, 90-100g direct carbs

Looking to minimise carb intake as much as possible, but I'll have to slowly bring it down over a few weeks to avoid feeling like sh1t. When I begin bulking I'll be taking in around 250g carbs a day. The fat should melt off with this if I'm consistent (which I will be).

Calories will be around 2500, 100g carbs on training days, 2250, 60g carbs on off days.

Every day will now consist of two shakes and four 400cal meals. Cardio will be done in the AM when possible and the PM when not. There will always bee a mandatory 30 mins cardio PWO, 3 times a week.
