Hey guys I hope you’re all well? It’s Wednesday, It’s the peak of the week, let’s do this!!!
I’m Danny, I’m 28 and I live in Yorkshire in the UK. I’m here seeking nutritional advice regarding my diet please.
So long story short. I’ve been training weights for around 8 years now. I’ve never really excelled in weight training as for strength but I’ve been consistent and it’s always made me feel better about my body.
Two years ago I was in a marriage that ended very quickly. It changed my life (for the better now) and everything in it. I had to go back to living with my parents and basically start all over again.
At this time in my life I was around 119kg, I was very bulky but I was seriously over weight and unhealthy.
A couple of years later I am now sitting at 87kg. I’m a lot healthier and feel much better about myself. I dropped from a 42” waist to a 30/32” waist. I can now fit in jeans again
The weight dropped off me very easily. I think initially due to depression but secondly the desire to want to look good for any future relationships. I just wanted to be wanted again and who wants a fat polar bear right?
So I’m now in the best relationship ever and everything is perfect, baring my diet…
I want to strive for that big shoulder/back look with a thin waist straight into big legs and I feel as though my diet needs to be critical for this to happen.
I have done some research on nutrition and whilst my diet isn’t the worst, it’s far from perfect. I’m going to list a general day of eating in the hopes some can help me fill in the blanks to help me make faster mass gains whilst eliminating body fat.
6:00 AM – Wake up and walk the dogs
6:30 AM – 3 x Weetabix with 250 Semi Skimmed Milk or Can of baked beams and two slices of brown bread toasted
8:00 AM – Start work
9:45-10:00 – This is my first break. I would eat 200g Chicken Breast with 150-200g of Brocolli.
12:30-13:00 – This is my dinner. I generally eat an apple, Banana and an orange.
14:45-15:00 – This is my last break. I would eat 200g Chicken Breast with 150-200g of Brocolli again.
16:30 – Finish work
17:00-17:30 – This is my tea time. I would generally have 300-500g of potatoes chips with 200g of chicken or other meat equivalents. After my team I would have some fat/sugar free jelly with some reduced fat ice cream.
20:00-21:00 – Gym time.
21:00 – I would then consume a protein shake. BSN Syntha 6 Edge.
I normally consume 3 Litres of water per day and also take creatine monohydrate first thing in the morning (5g)
This is my typical daily food intake. I’m not sure on the exact nutritional macros but I think I’m in a calorie deficit which I know won’t be helping my training.
I’m in desperate need of help and hope you guys can hopefully point me in the right direction please. Thank you for any help in advance!
