dang..... sounds risky. how are you gonna cut the fat then? cardio? do you think ultimately losing a little of that 15 is inevitable?
cardio and my GH booster, while cutting down some carbs.
No way you're going to shed muscle at 3k with sufficient protein.
7.5 and 5.0k are both absurd.
i'm honestly a bit scared to lower my diet by any more than it is. if i'm not gaining fat right now, i'm pulling off a recomp, and slashing another 1k calories kind of scares the piss out of me.
yes, 7.5k was pretty nuts. i've posted my diet before in a different post - 4k liquid, 3.5k solid. no way my stomach could handle 7.5k of solid food. to cut down to 5k, i ditched my 3 cups of half and half, and subbed out whole milk for 2%. to get down to 4k, i've cut down the carbs in my pre/post workout shake (by 600 calories), and moved on to 1% milk.
I can't imagine what 7.5k ED has to be like...
Remember Rugger's 18k pop-tart fueled carb refeed? That still makes me sick just to think about. :toilet:
18k refeed is just gross. i couldn't imagine trying anything like that. it makes me sick just thinking about it.
this was my 7.5k bulking diet:
breakfast - 5 eggs, two bowls of cereal (organic version of honey bunches of oats) with whole milk, two cups of coffee with three cups of 1/2 and 1/2 = 1900 calories
snack - peanut butter - 2 tbsp = 180 calories
snack - string cheese = 90 calories
lunch - two double cheeseburgers = 800 calories
pre workout - 50g of protein, 120g of carbs = 650 calories
post workout - 50g of protein, 120g of carbs = 650 calories
snack - peanut butter - 2 tbsp = 180 calories
snack - string cheese = 90 calories
dinner - 8oz buffalo or chicken + veggies + rice = 400 calories (est.)
snack - two servings of peanut butter (4 tbsp) = 360 calories
snack - string cheese = 90 calories
bedtime meal - 6-8 oz steak - no veggies or carbs = 280 calories (i'm guessing here)
also throughout the day i drink 1/2 a gallon of whole milk (1000+ calories), and i don't count the calories of canola and olive oil i cook with, since most of them are left in the pan.
