Ok, during the first year or so of training will always be the best and be able to do things that you won't be able to do later on when training as your body has adapted and this isn't "new" to it.

How has it been as of late? Fat loss wise? Alot of people, me included, lost fat when I first started lifting with out any diet or cardio, it just does that when we first start lifting. But as we progress our body adapts and it just doesn't "fall" off like it did by lifting.
 
I have been losing fat noticeably over the last 3 weeks or so. Future no doubt has contributed to this immensly.
 
as I look back...I realize your bf % is rather high...

You really should get on a diet to loose bf and maintain muscle...get down to about 10 % and then start concentrating on building some mass...that's JMHO

actually that is pretty much what Im doing. or at least I think I am....? thats why my carbs are lower.
 
alright, ill try to substitue it with chicken or tuna, or powder

as far as I know the protein in dairy is complete protein and CAN BE counted.........where do you think whey comes from?

very simple, the protein you speak of is filtered with all the works which Is why you pay a nice penny for it. One answer is digestion, second is Processed food. Let me explain. Raw Milk is rich in enzymes and contains all 22 of the essential amino acids, building blocks of life of course ;). Notice how I said Raw milk, not the processed shit you get from your grocery store. I could go further into it, but that answers that. Why is dairy bad for you when cutting, for one it makes some flat, and a lot of digestion problems with it. The biggest reason why it's a No No is because they are loaded with sugars. Look at milk. one glass has 11plug grams of sugar in them. If your like me and want to get it done right the first time, sugar is out of the question when cutting. The further you go down the line (2%, skim ext, the crappier it gets. I havent gotten through everyones posts on this topic, but I figured I'd start somewhere...
 
ok I'll go with that, but what about cheese?? no sugar.........good protein, some is low fat, you just have to pick the right ones

you should know this, you training with Swole remember ;) he was right about that one

is no under-tone. Dairy sucks for cutting, period. Cheese (real cheese, not processed) is okay on occassion, but if your goal is leanness, dairy has to hit the road

well for one he is not cutting strict, he said he wants to add muscle and just cut some fat, to me that is not a strict approach, when he goes to full blown cutting then I agree, no milk, no cheese............nada
 
I don't count protein from anything but meat and shakes.....and if the off season I do use fat free cottage cheese for night time protein...so I count that.
 
thanks everyone so far. alright Im gonna try to get this today...

6:30 - 40g whey pro with water
8:00 - 1 cups oatmeal and 3 chicken breasts (breasts are small)
10:00 - 1 slice turkey (5g pro)
11:30 - 2 cans tuna ( about 60g pro)
1:30 - Chicken soup (a lot of diced cicken in it with veggies)+ small amount of cottage cheese
4:30 - lift
PWO- 50g pro with water and some oats
6:30- 4 slices turkey + 1 slice whole wheat bread

that was it yesterday. Any opinions?

*EDITED AS DAY PROGRESSED *
 
see now your on the right track ;) you can have regular flavored oatmeal with your protein shake PWO, or Dextrose. It's up to you. Make sure you get some solid complex carbs in your last meal. As far as protein digestion amount, there is non. I would stick to 1-2g of protein per pound and keep it even throughout your meals..
 
90g protein is way too much for one meal and 20-25g isn't enough....stick to about 50g per meal...
 
ten-fo. Ill get in some oats with a shake for my last meal of the day, before I go to sleep. I need to buy more chicken damnit, stuffs expensive. 6 bucks for like 6-7 breasts. 1 bag only lasts 1-2 days, eh I guess it aint THAT bad. I need to get more sales for TP too.

I was thinkijn about still keepin the cottage cheese cause I mean for what....over 100g of pro its like $3.00? Maybe not though.
 
buy some ground beef 80% lean. Boil it, drain it, and your good to go :) Maybe be cheaper then chicken depending where you live..

eh, I dunno Id have to add it up. the amount per serv etc. isnt printed on the beef I get here. I get that turkey burger shit too but, thats even more expensive.
 
Is that two cups of raw oats? If so that is way too much. That would be over 100g carbs in one meal.

yea, I measuerd it out, forgetting first of all how filling it is, and yes that it is around 100g carbs. I couldnt even eat all of it, i still have a bunch of it in front of me right now that Im abou t to toss out.
 
I ate the chicken breatst first then the oats and i couldnt really put a dent in em. I thought that would be the bets order in which to eat that meal. protein then carbs.
 
What's the matter with 100gm of carbs? I tend to eat 100gm of carbs at least 5-6x per day at meals. I could care less about losing fat, however. Is there something wrong with that?
 
Just read from the beginning, I thought that Stout was saying 100gm of protien is too much to digest or something like that. Didn't know what your goals where. Sorry bout that...
 
np

today:
6:00- 40g whey pro+water+1/2 cup oats
8:00-boneless skinless chicken breast with seasoning
10:30- 2 1/2chicken breasts
12:00 oatmeal (1 cup about) scrambled eggs (they are friggin "egg beaters". what the hell is the nutritional content of these?)
