Hey there, longtime lurker here (about 3 years). For some reason I've never posted, but I realized I'm missing out on a goldmine of knowledge, so I might as well participate rather than spectate. Firstly, I've got about 5 years of weightlifting under my belt, and a year of understanding how to approach things nutritionally. However, I'm still learning how my body responds to different macro ranges, and training types. Obviously, there's tons I have to learn still.
So at the moment, I'm doing DC training, and really really loving the preliminary results. However, I'd love for some input on my diet tailored to gaining LBM.
At the moment I'm 13.5 BF, 180 lbs, at 6 ft flat, 20 years old. I'd classify myself as skinny fat. I used to be very overweight as a kid, lost the fat but became skinny in the process, and now am decently muscular but not cut. I still have the dreaded soft look.
Upon waking:
1/2 cup dry steel cut oats
1 scoop myofusion
1 cup fat free Trader joes greek yogurt
1 hardboiled egg
1 tbl almond butter
3 hours later:
trader joes chicken patty sandwich on 2 peices flourless bread
asparagus (as much as I'm hungry for)
1 tbl guac and 1 tbl hummus on it
2.5 hrs later:
1 container fat free trader joes greek yogurt
1 tbl almond butter
10 grams whey protein
3 hrs later-pre workout
chicken burrito bowl with 5 oz chicken, 1 cup black beans ( 40-50 g carbs)
onions, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. (got to get those onions with that study about test increase ahaha)
Post workout-10 grams BCAAs
Final Meal-
5 oz chicken breast
1 scoop whey
1 tbl almond butter
1/2 cup cottage cheese
asparagus
I feel as though this is too low in carbs, although I put on fat easily with higher carb intakes. Or should I consider something like a carb cycling diet for DC training? Any opinions are greatly appreciated.
