My reasoning for trying this was to experiment. When my diet is dialed in, I make strength gains every single workout and see my physique changing on a weekly basis. I've come across some others on here, just within other forums, who have done ratios of 3:1 and 4:1, so I know its not unheard of for bodybuilders. The worst that can happen is that I wasted a little extra money and the extra carbs was for nothing (seeing as though my metabolism is still high enough that I won't see any drastic fat gain).
I'm 6'1'', roughly 200, no idea what my bf% is, though I'm lean enough that I'm vascular through out my arms, delts, and sometimes in my quads. Striations can be seen in my triceps and my pecs at times as well. I would say that I have properties of both an Ecto and a Meso.
An example of my daily meal plan is as follows:
meal 1: 2 dropped eggs, 2 slices whole wheat toast, 1 scoop Evopro in 8 oz of 1% milk
meal 2: 6-7 oz of lean ground turkey with 1-1/4 cup of whole wheat rotini
meal 3: 6-8 oz of grilled chicken with 1-1/2 cup of seasoned rice
meal 4: 6-7 oz of lean ground turkey with 1-1/4 cup of brown rice (pre-workout meal)
meal 5: 2 scoops of Evopro in water with 1-1/4 cup (amount dry, before cooking) of white basmati rice
meal 6: 6 oz of Mahi Mahi with 1-1/4 cup of brown rice
meal 7: 2 scoops of Evopro in water
(remember, the above layout is simply an example, there are many substitutions I use/other meals all together)
When I get focused and stay on task, I give my diet 110% dedication. Occasionally I'll eat my base and eat additional meals on top of that, if I'm craving something. I always attempt to at least eat my base, so that way I don't feel guilty for slacking with my meals.
On a side note, I've only been back to eating like this for a couple weeks now, except for the high carb post workout meal. My weight of ~ 200lbs doesn't portray what this diet can do for me after a few months. Basically, once I'm on this for a while, my weight's gonna be moving on up in a very positive fashion!
