Talk about clean.
what the hell does your 1800 cal day consist of? i would knaw an arm off at 1800 cals a day.
i guess thats why im not shredded, i love food.
at the 1800 calorie mark this will be the last week of my cut during a deload week where weight training will not be very weight intensive and cardio will be cut down.
The macro split will be the following 20% Fat/70% protein/ 10% carbs. At this point my carbs will come from fruits to supply energy and a plethora of vitamins and anti-oxidants. Veggies will be taken for fiber. No oatmeal or any other form of carbs that is not a fruit or veggie. Fat will be entirely made up of good fats(EVOO, Fish oil, Coconut oil, flax oil, sesamin). And protein will be chicken, fish, tuna, and whey. Red meats will probably be cut out this week to control my fat intake. I will only do this for one week or until i feel it is doing more harm then good. If i can go 4-6 days at 1800 calories i will be happy. At which point my cut should be over and I am hoping to have met my goal.
Then, if i had met my goal, i will attempt a Super duper carb load that DW did in his prep for his competition(which did amazing in, props). This will kick start my body to get it in an anabolic mode and from that point i can hit up a good maintenance diet. My goal is to be in the single digit body fat range(6-8%). At this range i feel i can have just enough fat on me to allow consistent strength gains, while minimizing the amount of unfunctional weight that does nothing but slow me down.
