Not to mention that 50 or 100 kcals is fairly marginal and potentially insignificant unless you're weighing out everything you consume.May need more than that to stop an extra 1.5 pound loss a week.

I weigh everything except protein powder and my almond milk.Not to mention that 50 or 100 kcals is fairly marginal and potentially insignificant unless you're weighing out everything you consume.
You should weigh those. Just sayingI weigh everything except protein powder and my almond milk.
Serious? It could only be maybe 10-20 cals of difference. And plus i first weighed to see how much the scoop looked like and i just remember what it looked like on the scale. If that makes since?You should weigh those. Just saying Protein powders are always wrong
I agree i just tried a new protein and it labels 34g on the label and every scoop i used was 27-28g worthYou should weigh those. Just saying

Adding more = better, the higher your kcals are the better for your metabolism, 50 kcals wont do jack.Don't wanna add cals in too fast. 1 week won't make much difference in muscle loss and I'll be able to gauge the difference with the new cals. Goal is to get to 2lb/wk
Eh we'll see. I'll prob weigh in before the weekend just to gauge things a bit early.Adding more = better, the higher your kcals are the better for your metabolism, 50 kcals wont do jack.
Ya I've done this program before so I know exactly how I respond to it. Just tweaking diet mostly this time since I'm over 25lb heavierCareful not to overtrain. I was running into that trying to cut doing 5500 in cardio a week on top of 5-6s of WT. No bueno, you hit the wall and need a break.
why dont you just use the macros you have now and just shift your carbs to later at nightWeighed in this morning at 188.7lb (up about 1 lb from monday). This will be my starting weight for the 10 day prep phase for CBL. I already have a good idea of how many carbs i will be able to eat, but am interested to see what the tables in the book say just as reference.
That's essentially what I'll be doing but the book suggests a ten day prep phase to get your body used to burning fat more then carbs. Plus it'll give me some time to adjust my meals so I fast longer in the mornings. I've done the "jump right in" to IF before and it's a rough week or so adjusting as I wake up starving almost every morning.why dont you just use the macros you have now and just shift your carbs to later at night = CBL

Would metabolic powder serve me well dosing multiple times a day for my cheat meal/day? Would it help to prevent fat gain?Totally crushed legs and shoulders this afternoon. I was really surprised with how good I felt considering this is day 7 of pretty low carbs (veggies only). My endurance was absolutely unreal and I had to force myself to leave after ten sets of squats and 6 of leg presses all superset with shoulder presses flys and raises. Came home and at two entire spaghetti squashes, a bag of spinach, and some ground chicken. Then had some frozen protein cottage cheese, a little pb, and some green beans for my pre bed meal. Man do I love to eat bigger meals like that. Forgot to add all my corefetti/pb marshmallow protein came in (along with a bunch of other goodies including a 4 tub refill to my metabolic powder stock and enough albutarex to kill someone) so this weekend I'll be baking up some solution-esque goodies to carb up on.
Absolutely. That's exactly what it's designed for. On sale at np right now too.Would metabolic powder serve me well dosing multiple times a day for my cheat meal/day? Would it help to prevent fat gain?
I know it says mix into food and such, but does it mix and taste ok when mixed into some BCAAs or something like that?Absolutely. That's exactly what it's designed for. On sale at np right now too.
The taste isn't strong so ya you could do that. I've even mixed it in just 2oz of water and shot it and its not a bad taste at all. It adds some interesting flavor to spiced dishes though if you cook with it. Just be careful not to let it stay in a clump or youll get a pretty wicked bitter bite ha.I know it says mix into food and such, but does it mix and taste ok when mixed into some BCAAs or something like that?

Ya that's the plan going forward. Prob gonna carb cycle a bit so I can get more fat in my diet on not training days. Not a ton but maybe 200-300 kcals worth or so.You can CBL everyday brojust adjust your carbs later int he day how you like the cor-fetti?
You already got a tub in to Canada? You Srs???New mint choco is not my thing.
Corfetti is still my #2![]()
I was gonna make cookies but couldn't find a good recipe before my computer died and wasn't looking on my phone. That's my next foray.New mint choco is not my thing. Corfetti is still my #2Cinn Swirl is my #1 Cellucor did a great job with it I like PB cookies using PB marsh
Have a man on the inside nowYou already got a tub in to Canada? You Srs???
Its more vanilla/mint not a chocolate/mint with chcolate chip pieces.
And neither am iHave a man on the inside now
lol I'm not saying its bad it could very well be perfectly flavoured I'm just not a mint fan
For a cut why you decide CBL? Isn't CNS better for cut, CBL more for lean gains? CBL requires alot of tweaking and pitfalls before it gets dialed in.Ya that's the plan going forward.

Corfetti was awesome. I love cake batter flavors and this was top notch. Good thing I bought 6lb worth![]()
Pb marshmallow was good but not strong enough flavor. Would prob be better higher powder : pancake mix ratio.
I was eating carbs everyday with a bb style 6-7 meals/day. Why would the same carbs and therefore total cals not apply?For a cut why you decide CBL? Isn't CNS better for cut, CBL more for lean gains? CBL requires alot of tweaking and pitfalls before it gets dialed in.

I just think itll be easier to eat carbs at night when its more social.
No it does notFor a cut why you decide CBL? Isn't CNS better for cut, CBL more for lean gains? CBL requires alot of tweaking and pitfalls before it gets dialed in.
I've read all about it... its exactly the same principles as CBL except you only have 1 carb night a week... which just means I have to be more selective with my food choices all week. My goals with CBL/IF style eating is so that I can enjoy more food/food types at times when its more social.Check out DH Keifer's Carb Nite solution, you might like it.

Yup, dont adjust your diet to social, make the people that care about you meet you half way. They should let their bad habits negatively affect your choice to be healthy.Thats one thing with "Diets" it shelters them and their social life. Which is not a good relationship with food.
No, I mean it in the sense that I WANT to be able to include some new foods into my diet... standard bb type, carbs in the am doesn't allow for the calorie space for a big carby dinner or "treats". Im sick of always telling everyone "I cant have that right now"Yup, dont adjust your diet to social, make the people that care about you meet you half way.

Eating more later at night = a higher weigh in, nothing unordinary there.Really gonna have to play with my foods a bit to get this CBL in check... still feeling pretty rough in the mornings (angry/annoyed) while being hungry and Im feeling bloated and full when i wake up. Checked weight today just to get an idea and i was back up to 186.3lb I expected to go up due to the carbs coming back in my diet after the prep phase so we'll see how it goes through the week and then weigh again on monday to get a better idea.
Very cool boone, glad to see things settling in nicely for you. Found less volume and more intensity is really did well for me too last few weeks. Whats you current stack and diet looking like?Loving the new workout setup so far... It's just nice being in the gym almost every day and with the reduced daily volume I can go a lot harder and more intense on all of my sets.
Yesterday was brutal day for sticking to a diet... Had to help hand out 70doz krispy kreme donuts (morning and afternoon) and then eat n' park smiley cookies at lunch... Didn't indulge in any of this garbage but man was it rough since I love stuff like that and havent had a whiff of it since the start of this year.
Waking up feeling a lot better and a lot leaner in the mornings the last 2 days. I think my body is finally starting to adjust a bit and settle in. I'll be very interested to see what the scale says at the end of the week.
I'll put each in a separate post belowVery cool boone, glad to see things settling in nicely for you. Found less volume and more intensity is really did well for me too last few weeks. Whats you current stack and diet looking like?
