protein and lean diet

[dman69]

ive heard you need 1g protein for 1lb body weight, but i seem to bee gaining weight on this im trying to cut a little from the winter bulk and im wondering should i keep having 4 scoops a day? Also ive been eating fairly good except for the occasional slip at supper time, and i like my coors light how much is my beer hurting me?

[bighunanballs]

calories bro. how many calories are you eating a day? what are your body stats?

[dman69]

i take in 890 for breakfast until supper time. at supper i eat whatever my wife cooks. Usualy pretty healy except for the mashed taters and shells and cheese. Id say at the most 2,000 a day.

Dude, split it up into 4-6 smaller meals bro! the less you eat (time wise) the more fat your body stores!
whats your macs lookin like (macronutrients)?

[GRIM]

Definitely need to split meals up a bit.

you will get much more metobolic stimulation from eating smaller portions more frequently throughout the day. i weigh about 225lbs im 5'11" and right at 12.5% bf. i cut on 3000-3200 calories a day. with no cardio. when i go on extreme bf cut i throw in cardio and up caloric intake to 3500 cals. i eat 2g's of protien per lb of body weight

[dman69]

i eat a bowl of cereal at about 430am then at
9am i eat tuna sandwich orange or banana and protein bar at
1230pm i eat 2 tuna sandwiches, orange, shake, and some penuts
3pm 1 more tuna sand and an orange some more nuts and a shake
6pm go to gym shake on the way

Eating pretty heavy for before bed IMO

[dman69]

sorry dude i dont know what imo stands for. yeah its a little heavy but the past few weeks ive cut some fat and havent been hitting the gym so i guess im doing alright. I can eat good during the day but when my wife cooks some pork chops taters and shells and cheese i cant help my self. chops are on the grill not fried if that helps my case.

[GRIM]

imo=in my opinion

i never believed in the before bed food intake theory. i have no probs eating a 700cal meal before bed, even low gi carbs like oats, whole wheat bread etc.

700 calories isn't that horrible, what he laid out looks like it could be possibly 1,000 or more.

Plus every person is different ;)
