New To This FOrum
Hey all just a quick introduction since I am new to this forum.
I am 52 y/o at 5’6” and weigh in at 158 lbs. I relocated from west of the Rockies to the Midwest just over a year ago and with the new management job and rapid company growth; (a jump from 8 plants to 25 plants) my focus on my workouts was not at the top of my list. I still worked out just not with the dedication that I should have had, it was just enough to say I did it. This is obvious from viewing my pics. I am now at a point where I have all the right staff in all the right places and it time to regain my focus. I have been lifting for the better part of 8 years... I run a clean diet 9 months out of the year and even in the months that my diet is not as clean; I still strive to eat healthy most of the time. My diet typically consists of Chicken, Fish, Shrimp and Steak (lean) 1-2 times a week for dinner, broccoli, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, green beans, and a carb with my evening meal. My meals are dependent on whether I am cutting or bulking and the only fluctuation is the volume that I take in and the addition of increased carbs and the assistance of mass gainers while bulking to push my calories up. I seem to function very well on a low carb diet. Current Macros: Protein 49% Carbs 26% Fats 25% Current RDI: 3000 calories- My meal plan has me hitting a caloric deficit of appx 500 calories a day. With sleep, work (10 hours typical) and workouts I burn appx 3400 calories a day, which places me at around 900 total calories in deficit. I know that some will look at this and think! WTF is he doing? It has taken me a number of years to find what works for me, and keep in mind that not everyone falls in to some neat little mold. My diet stabilizes my insulin levels, which I track trough frequent testing of my A1C levels. When I am bulking increase, my carbs and I adjust them based on my A1C as well. |
